Geist Technology's base technology was developed by our sister company, IT
WatchDogs. IT WatchDogs has been building climate monitoring systems for data
centers and server rooms for nearly a decade. These systems monitor room temperature,
humidity, air flow and similar quantities and display the measurements on web
pages. Other systems monitor voltage, current, and electrical power. If any
value falls out of a normal range, the system can alert an operator using email
or SNMP. In doing this work, IT WatchDogs’ engineering team developed expertise
in building very small and low power web servers, as well as in digital and
analog data acquisition and signal conditioning.
Geist Technology was to leverage IT WatchDogs’ expertise in areas
beyond data center monitoring. Geist Technology’s design work is done by IT
WatchDogs’ engineers, so all of IT WatchDogs’ experience is incorporated in new
projects. Geist Technology has designed systems that monitor environmental and
electrical conditions at radio transmitter sites, systems that add a web
interface to process control systems, and systems that capture data on
production lines, to name a few applications
