Base Station Gateway

Dart Wireless: The nerve center of your machine health network

DART Wireless is KCF’s communication protocol used for sending data through our mesh network of Base Station Gateways. Sensors do not need to be paired to a specific Base Station. Instead, data is sent utilizing the strongest signal pathway, creating a modular and scalable solution for facilities of all sizes.

Enables full spectrum data at an up to every minute frequency
Maintains long battery life of the connected wireless sensors
Patented communication protocol
Low RF interference
Does not interrupt plant Wi-Fi

Mesh network

The Base Station is the central device managing communications with all of your wireless devices and connects them to the cloud. Multiple Base Stations located throughout a facility create a mesh network.

Data Storage

The Base Station Gateway is built with ample internal storage to ensure your data is safe, even if the connection to SMARTdiagnostics is lost temporarily.

Nerve Center

The Base Station is the nerve center of any SMARTdiagnostics Machine Health Platform installation, allowing effective predictive maintenance for your industrial equipment.

Base Station Gateway installation

Our Base Station Gateway only requires a power outlet.

Connection is achieved through your plant’s Ethernet or the Base Station’s built-in cellular modem.

Base Stations are mounted using KCF’s universal mount. This allows for mounting to poles, railings, walls, shelves, and more—usually without the use of tools. It’s best to mount the Base Station up high, both to get a good line of sight above most of the shop floor industrial equipment, but also to keep them out of reach.
