WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC)
WAND-RDC activates TM sensors automatically at predefined intervals or on demand, it then transmits the data wirelessly via long range Bluetooth 5.0.
The WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) is an intrinsically safe, battery powered device designed to be used with up to 8 WAND TM Sensors.
The RDC is configured using the Inductosense Data Analysis and Reporting Toolkit (iDART) software. Using iDART, the RDC can be prompted to retrieve live thickness readings, and also programmed to schedule automatic data collection at predefined intervals.
The RDC collects and logs thickness measurements, which can then be retrieved wirelessly by Bluetooth 5.0 at a range of up to 200m, making it ideal for difficult access locations. The data can then be transferred to the iDART cloud with access to the internet.

**The test was carried out at a fixed reading distance.
Resolution: defined as 1 / sampling frequency in software × speed of sound / 2
Repeatability: defined as the standard deviation of repeated thickness measurements at a location experiencing no metal loss and at constant temperature over the measurements.
Reading distance: defined as distance between the reader coil and sensor.
