Description of RAMC RAMC solutions allow customers to collect, interpret and manage information about the condition or location of their remote assets (e.g., temperature, pressure, vibration), and control key functions of those assets (e.g., open or close valve, turn engine on or off), from anywhere in the world, using satellite or terrestrial wireless connectivity and a secure web-browser.

RAMC solutions automatically alert customers via e-mail, SMS, phone call, etc., of out-of-spec conditions of the remote assets.

RAMC enables customers to evaluate the situation remotely and respond immediately with the right resources, often adverting potentially major problems before they occur.
