AI Introduces New Bullhorn Remote Monitoring Website: Bullhorn Asset Tracker
AUSTIN, TX; November 23, 2009 – American Innovations is pleased to announce that the newly redesigned website of the Bullhorn Remote Monitoring System – Bullhorn Asset Tracker -- has just been released. All existing Bullhorn units have been migrated automatically into the new website in order to ease the transition for AI customers.
Bullhorn Asset Tracker (BAT) is American Innovations’ web-based asset management interface for the Bullhorn Remote Monitoring System. The Bullhorn system monitors and collects data from oil and gas, water and wastewater and agricultural industry assets such as gas meters, rectifiers, cathodic protection (CP) systems, compressors, irrigation systems, poultry farm equipment and more, and provides immediate notification of alarm conditions by voice, fax, page, and e-mail.
The new website allows for immediate, in-depth visibility to data gathered and delivered by Bullhorn units installed at any number of sites. Upon secure login, BAT provides an instant overview of overall and individual unit performance and allows customers to see how units are functioning via a “Dashboard” (pictured here). Users see how many units are in “alarm” mode so that potential problems can be addressed in a timely manner, as well as “Normal”, “Interrupting” (for those units with a MicroMax® Current Interrupter installed) and several other predetermined statuses.
In addition, BAT allows customers to monitor their Bullhorn unit activity by “assets”. An asset is a piece of equipment that is being monitoring by one or more Bullhorn devices – i.e. a rectifier, lift station, compressor etc. BAT can track any combination of units and assets, making it easy to determine how equipment is performing at any given time.
The website was updated in order to better serve AI’s current and future customer base. “Customers depend on Bullhorn and the online tracking software for measurement and alarm data from their remote equipment,” said Manager of Bullhorn Applications Engineering Jaco Botes, who led development of the new system. “We created the Bullhorn Asset Tracker website with user experience and usability as focus. Our primary goal was to create a tool that will assist users in their task as efficiently as possible.”
“The Bullhorn Asset Tracker software broadens AI’s commitment to our user community by adding a number of enhancements throughout the system, including the ability to look at the overall performance of a particular piece of equipment, as well as individual unit performance,” explained Courtney Lambert, VP of Sales and Marketing for American Innovations. “We’ve also added a more advanced Google® mapping functionality to better illustrate unit and asset locations, and now provide more detailed billing information.”
American Innovations will continue to add additional upgrades in future releases to the Bullhorn Asset Tracker to add to the value of using the site to track industrial assets and data acquired via Bullhorn units.
