The Beaumont Reserve Fleet required a monitoring system capable of tracking temperature, humidity, intrusion, corrosion, and fire protection. Addionally, they needed a system that could communicate all that information back to a central monitoring station. Solid State Automation installed a system aboard the USS Nassau that included 6 fire monitoring boxes, 12 humidty/temperature/air quality sensors, 2 intrusion detectors, and 3 current transducers to monitor ship power. All the information the monitoring system gathered was transmitted wirelessly over two miles back to the central monitoring station and displayed on a custom HMI. The system also included a solar panel and battery array that enabled the system to run even in the event of a shore power loss.
