The IML Cloud is an online data base collecting the measurement data of all PEC-devices. These are a new measurement device family developed by IML Electronic, focusing monitoring applications around the vitality of trees and their environment. The IML Cloud Devices app is a tool to install and setup these devices and perform maintenance on site. It works as an interface to the cloud to register newly installed devices and store information about them, there environment and the trees under investigation. Furthermore you are able to get all relevant information about all your devices, status and measurement data.
ArboRefD
Read full descriptionHide full description
ArboRefD helps evaluating the breakage safety of trees with localized defects whose trunk still has an intact cross-section higher up. This is one of the practical applications of Allometric Self-Referencing (ASR) for evaluating the breakage and uprooting safety of defective mature trees. To document the results for a specific tree, we recommend saving a screenshot after entering all data in the current version. Additional features are currently being developed for the app. If you buy the app with a one-time purchase and enclose the corresponding app invoice with your next order of a measuring device (ABT, DNT, RES) from RINNTECH, you will receive a discount.
