Wireless Connectivity

The wireless connectivity feature of the Meton Lab solution offers significant advantages in laboratory environments, enabling seamless integration with laboratory equipment by utilizing the widely adopted Modbus communication protocol, which traditionally operates over wired connections. Enabled by the Lumenradio W-Modbus Mesh Network Device, our system transforms the standard wired Modbus protocol into a wireless format, establishing a robust mesh network utilizing advanced mesh networking technology.

This wireless functionality streamlines device connectivity, eliminating the need for physical wiring and simplifying installation processes, ensuring reliable data communication between devices. This solution offers a more comprehensive approach compared to the installation of simple wireless sensors, which typically collect only specific data, by providing full device information.

Moreover, in environments such as hospitals, pharmaceutical stores, and laboratories, where space constraints and regulatory restrictions limit the installation of physical cables, wireless connectivity sometimes becomes indispensable. The ability to establish a robust mesh network without the need for intricate cabling infrastructure simplifies installation processes and ensures seamless integration with existing equipment. This not only saves time and resources but also minimizes disruptions to ongoing operations, allowing for uninterrupted scientific activities and research endeavors.
