LORD MicroStrain® Announces Series of Enhancements to SensorCloud Data Platform

The new SensorCloud platform features are designed to significantly enhance users productivity and were largely driven by customer suggestions.

(Cary, NC - July 15, 2014) - LORD Corporation MicroStrain® Sensing Systems - a global leader in developing embedded sensing systems for aerospace and industrial markets - has announced a series of enhancements to its SensorCloud cloud-based sensor data platform (http://www.SensorCloud.com).


Introduced in 2011, the SensorCloud platform is a unique sensor data storage, visualization, and remote management platform that leverages powerful cloud computing technologies to provide excellent data scalability, rapid graphing, and user-programmable online analytics. It is currently used by numerous LORD MicroStrain® customers across a variety of industries and disciplines, including aviation, defense, oil & gas, and manufacturing.

The new SensorCloud platform features are designed to significantly enhance users productivity and were largely driven by customer suggestions. Among the highlights:

*Shared views of user data including embeddable FastGraph® charts, which provide simple embeddable graphs for web sharing of data with just one line of html code

*OEM white label options (including both customized, embedded FastGraphs® and a full, standalone version)

*MathEngine® iPython notebooks—real-time, cloud-based, data analytics platforms

*GitHub repository with SDKAPIExample code and RESTful API, which allows any device or application to upload data to SensorCloud. The API is implemented as a web service using standard HTTP request commands.

*SensorCloud API, including libraries and example code for Python, Java, and C#

"Were very pleased to offer our customers these great enhancements to our award-winning SensorCloud platform," says Justin Bessette, LORD MicroStrains Manager of Software Engineering. "These new features will make SensorCloud users even more productive due to its improved ease-of-use and data collaboration tools for sharing data. When combined with MathEngine®, the SensorCloud data platform brings custom analytics to the cloud for a complete, end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solution."

LORD MicroStrain® is also introducing a simplified pricing model for its SensorCloud data platform, including a complimentary "start now" option, which includes 10 million data points of storage per month.

Through its Sensor IoT platform, SensorCloud allows users to employ LORD MicroStrain's Wireless Sensor Data Aggregator (WSDA®) to directly and securely upload wireless and inertial data to the cloud. The Custom Alerts feature keeps users informed on their data 24/7 with email and SMS messaging options, and the ability to add custom information including time, threshold values, and links to the event data, helps set SensorCloud platform apart.

"Were confident these features will be a game-changer for prospective SensorCloud platform users," says Bessette. "The API and the CSV import tool allow users to upload their own data, making it easier than ever to immediately start experiencing the benefits."
