Remote diagnostic with Fume Hood Master

Waldner has developed the Fume Hood Master as a digital solution to global pandemic situations. The Fume Hood Master (FHM) can quickly and reliably perform remote diagnosis on Waldner fume hoods under the guidance of a Waldner expert. This is essential when global markets are under tremendous travel restriction pressures.

In the event of a fume hood malfunction, the initial diagnosis can be carried out with Fume Hood Master in the shortest possible time. Guided by an external Waldner expert, the operator requires minimal technical knowledge to connect and use the Fume Hood Master. If replacement parts are needed, they can be identified by the initial diagnosis and delivered in advance of the repair work.

Features and applications of the Fume Hood Master

How does the Fume Hood Master work?

The FHM is a remote diagnostic interface, which establishes a worldwide connection between the Waldner expert and the various control and monitoring units on fume cupboards via an integrated mobile radio router or by enabling a network connection with Internet access. The Waldner expert can then carry out a software check of the system, take corrective action and define spare parts if necessary.

The Fume Hood Master contains the following components:

  • Augmented Reality Glasses - For real-time transmission (PTP = Point To Point) of video and sound between users and experts
  • Remote Diagnostic Interface - Provides the connection to the various control and monitoring units on fume cupboards
  • Measuring device with hot-wire anemometer and differential pressure sensor - Measuring device for checking the inflow velocity and volume flow at the working area of the sash
  • Fog Pen - An electronic smoke test tube for visualizing air flows
  • Including a hotline flat rate for communication with the Waldner expert - availability 24/5

How is it connected?

The Fume Hood Master can be connected in three simple steps without any specialist knowledge:

  • Definition of the control and monitoring equipment used
  • Establishing the connection with the Fume Hood Master
  • Contact the Waldner Service Team for further guidance 

Equipment options

You can purchase the Fume Hood Master in various configurations:

  • Fume Hood Master Basic - this Basic equipment includes a guest access to establish a video connection via the customer's cell phone, the Hotline Support Flat and the Remote Diagnostic Interface. This enables remote access to the control components.
  • Fume Hood Master Advanced - this includes AR Glasses and a Fog Pen in addition to the Basic equipment. This enables the expert in Wangen to see the situation on site through the glasses and to instruct and guide the laboratory staff accordingly. With the Fog Pen, air flows can be visualized to visually check the flow behaviour of the fume cupboard.
  • Fume Hood Master Premium - in addition to the advanced equipment, this version contains a measuring device with hot-wire anemometer and differential pressure sensor. With the help of the expert, the incoming airflow velocity can be measured and the air volume can be adjusted.

Digital 3D room measurement

Waldner offers a professional room dimensional survey whether moving in, converting or relocating laboratory equipment. As a strong service provider for all things laboratories, Waldner guarantees a smooth and comfortable coordination of construction processes through fast and exact 3D measurement.

The 3D laser scanner enables a fast, easy and exact measurement of rooms through real-time scans in very short time. What used to take several hours is now done within minutes. The data is displayed on the tablet with high resolution in a full color 3D model. All measurements using the 3D Laser Scanner can be recorded and recalled any time.

The data can be opened, edited and managed in CAD programs such as AutoCAD or Revit. In these models sanitation pipes, connections, as well as ventilation can be recognized and information reviewed any time. These 3D models can be integrated in revision documents and used to document construction progress. This enables a detailed insight into the construction plan any time.

The time for room measurements is extremely reduced and the planning is optimized thanks to the exact 3D models. Thus, processing times can be optimized and costs reduced. Waldner provides you with fast and smooth coordination.

Application and technical data 3D measurement

How does the measurement work?

The measurement with the 3D Laser Scanner can be done in five easy steps, this leads to an efficient and fast process:

  • Positioning of the scanner in room
  • Scan of the room (duration approx. 5 minutes)
  • One or more scans per room as required
  • After the scan all measurements are available in 3D images on the tablet
  • In a suitable software the data can be immediately processed, modeled and managed
  • The dimensions are now available at any time 

Technical specifications

  • Scanning in high resolution
  • A scan can be made in less than 3 minutes (standard resolution)
  • 360,000 laser scanning points / sec.
  • Range 60m
