Monitors HAV & WBV
30 April 2018
Following two years of market study and technical development, Earlsmere has launched the Limpet, the company's latest technology for monitoring HAV and WBV.

Limpet works using the latest Bluetooth technology, powered by a replaceable coin cell battery, giving up to two years of use. It requires no multi part accessories such as docking stations, chargers, cables or hosting service.
Limpet is fitted to a tool by the operator which can be pre- programmed with the allowed daily exposure level of the operator by a manager /supervisor or using a device such as a mobile phone using Earlsmere’s “Toolminder Active App” by the operator at point of use.
Vibration levels are recorded on the Limpet and are displayed to the operator by way of LED Traffic Light.
Limpet will store and transmit the recorded data back to a host system via WIFI.
To compliment the Limpet Earlsmere have launched it’s rugged RFID enabled 5” mobile device which allows for programming and communication with the Limpet
The Limpet system can also be fitted with RFID for Tool tracking and identification.
Limpet is designed to work with Earlsmere’s “Toolminder” software for total asset tracking and control.
