About Ashwood Eco

Ashwood Eco Limited was registered in September 1999 by Joseph Bown, Managing Director and John Perry, Director of Engineering.

MK1/2 remote event monitor

March 2000

We installed our first monitoring unit. We ran numerous tests until we were satisfied the unit produced the results we required. Whilst on a visit to a local authority we met with one of the larger outdoor media companies, thus was born the AshwoodAlerts Monitoring System.

March 2001

we installed units for three of the major outdoor media companies at various locations.

September 2001

The MK1 Alamon monitoring unit completed their trial periods with complete success and our customers are now enjoying the benefits of lower downtime and instant communication from their monitored equipment.

ECM/8 remote event monitor

July 2003

We first prototyped what is now the ECM range of monitor.

April 2005

To complement AshwoodAlerts we launched the all new GSM based monitor the ECM/8 Range of advanced Event Monitors, that we first prototyped in 2003. These were developed to provide most of the functions that could be required by numerous industries.

March 2006

We have some 300 ECM/8 monitors in the field with a number of variants such as:-

• Scheduled lights operation turning the lights on and off to a preset pattern
• Starting up remote equipment at pre set times
• Unlocking gates / doors by remote command
• Starting standby equipment when there is a fault in the main services

These are just some of the operations that can be achieved by the ECM/8 remote event monitor.

September 2006

We will install "ECM/8 Vision" the first demonstration unit of our this inexpensive remote camera system.

"ECM/8 Vision" provides our customers with visual access to their sites. The pictures are fed back to AshwoodAlerts and available to our customers from password protected web pages.

November 2006

"ECM/8 Vision" will be further developed to give our customers client's the opportunity to see their media displayed.

AshwoodAlerts

May 2003

Ashwood started to develop an advanced operations centre this is now called "ECM/8 Vision". This is a bespoke developed application which provides "real time" information to our customers. It incorporates the latest technology informing management on events within an hour of them happening, and automatically informs personnel to attend remote equipment.

May 2004

We further developed AshwoodAlerts, a unique customer accessible events centre give the customer the opportunity to see advanced management reports giving him more control over his workforce thus cutting down equipment downtimes.

It’s 1-2-3

• 1. Any monitored event is displayed on the customer's PC or Mac informing them of a fault occurring and an e-mail backing this up, if required.
• 2: The operative will receive a message by text on his mobile phone which includes the time, date, site and fault.
• 3: Once the fault condition is cleared a Unit Operational will be displayed on the customer's PC or Mac informing them the fault has been cleared.

This technology has been developed to accommodate signals from almost any form or manufacture of GSM / GPRS monitoring system.
