Arch Rock Corp.
Arch Rock Corp. Packaged SoftwareTechnology Services Arch Rock is a pioneer in IP-based wireless sensor network technology, connecting the physical and digital worlds. They help customers achieve their energy efficiency goals through real-time visibility and analysis from fine-grained electrical, environmental and thermal sensor data. Its 'no wires' networked sensing approach eliminates costly wiring barriers to deployment. They make the benefits of detailed energy and environmental analysis possible without the previously daunting aspects of deploying the corresponding instrumentation. They also uniquely maintain an end-to-end open standards approach with IP-based networking throughout and with open IT data access paradigms. This enables its customers to analyze their energy-related and environmental sensing data in broader context with the rest of their enterprise data, to reveal further insights and benefits than would be available when the sensor data is kept isolated. The Arch Rock founding team pioneered the research and development of wireless sensor networking and its integration into enterprise data management. Its combination of real-world know-how, technical expertise, and visionary insight drives its mission to expand the Internet with awareness of the physical world of matter, space, and time. The company has a demonstrated track record of bringing innovative solutions to a wide range of application domains from emergency response, rail transportation, and retail asset tracking, to Brownfield's monitoring, street-side services and precision agriculture; and now in the vital new application area of commercial building energy optimization. | President | 2011-04-28 |
