Furman Marketing Manager John Benz speaks to ISE and rAVe Europe at ISE 2011, where he tells of his company's AC power management and protection solutions for integrators.
The company's range covers the whole gamut, from basic residential installs to commercial live sound systems-- with a wide variety of technologies ensuring an installed system, ultimately, does what it's meant to do.
Furman tells we're seeing more IP-based technologies; such as the company's BlueBOLT system, which is soon coming to EMEA markets. BlueBOLT offers cloud-based IP power outlet controle and energy monitoring, allowing integrators to remotely address system issues by rebooting problem components; as well other installer features including e-mail alerts (in case of power anomalies), scheduled power-up, power-down or power-cycling commands and near-real time incoming voltage monitoring.
BllueBOLT's setup involves simply plugging a CAT5 cable into the unit's back and claiming the device on Furman's dedicated website-- which is then accessible through any web-enabled device's internet browser. Integrators can also access BlueBOLT-enabled hardware over LAN or control system.
