MEASUREMENT MADE SIMPLE
PLEXUS INNOVATION has developed GUARDIAN , a remote, automated measurement and alert system, which provides a digital alternative to manual measurement.
GUARDIAN provides a digital transformation within the facilities and energy management marketplaces.
GUARDIAN IoT hardware and software platform is created entirely by the in-house team at PLEXUS INNOVATION .
Hardware is fast and easy to install.
GUARDIAN is cost-effective, reliable, more convenient, reduces risk and impact on the environment.
