Reliable Communication and Uninterrupded Measurements even under Strong Electromagnetic noise

First and foremost, it is worth noting that Varixx pioneered the application of continuous thermography in electrical systems, replacing manual inspections and portable cameras with an automated, permanent, and safe approach.

Initially, this innovation arose from the need to detect thermal faults in real time and reliably, avoiding unexpected downtime and increasing the useful life of assets.

Above all, this trajectory of technological leadership has consolidated unique expertise in thermographic monitoring, now embodied in the ZYGGOT® Raddia System, the definitive solution in continuous wireless thermography for industrial and energy environments.

Key Challenges for Wired Thermographic Monitoring 

First, it is necessary to understand the real challenges that impact thermographic monitoring of electrical systems in certain environments:

• Close monitoring of bells and tulips: Areas that are difficult to access and subject to localized heating.


• Weather exposure: No wired or conventional sensor solution can withstand thermal variations, humidity, pollution, and ozone like Raddia can.


• Limited physical space: In substations and compact panels, excessive cabling reduces the area available for handling and maintenance, making work unsafe and inefficient.

• Reliability of manual inspections: Sporadic measurements with cameras do not capture continuous trends, leaving vulnerabilities in the diagnosis.

In other words, without a robust wireless solution, companies face unscheduled downtime, increased OPEX, and difficulty operating in critical environments.

Technical Architecture and Differentials 

First, ZYGGOT® Raddia was developed to simplify monitoring architecture while maintaining high technical performance:

• Single relay on the panel: Concentrates up to 125 wireless sensors in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple gateways.


• Wireless temperature sensors: Installed directly on critical connections (buses, terminals, circuit breakers), they take continuous measurements by sensor contact on site, without cabling.


• Robust communication: Operates on a licensed frequency (433/470 MHz), reliable even in environments with strong electromagnetic noise.


• Resistance to outdoor environments: Designed for outdoor applications, Raddia withstands harsh environmental conditions in substations and exposed plants where other sensors fail. ZYGGOT® Raddia is the only sensing solution that supports outdoor environments. 

Interactivity and Integration

In addition, Raddia is fully interoperable with leading industrial systems:

• Modbus RTU/TCP


• EtherNet/IP


• Integration with ZYGGOT Cloud, enabling remote supervision, historical analysis, automatic reports and customized alarms.

In other words, in addition to easily integrating into the existing environment, Raddia increases operational efficiency by adding real-time intelligence and remote access.

In short, ZYGGOT® Raddia delivers unique benefits that translate into direct value for critical operations:

• Proven leadership in continuous thermography.


• Lowest cost per monitored point on the market, optimizing CAPEX and OPEX.


• Simplified installation: One relay replaces multiple gateways, reducing cabling, space occupied, and commissioning time.


• Safety and efficiency: Eliminates manual inspections in hard-to-reach locations, freeing up physical space and making handling more agile.


• Environmental resilience: Wireless continuous thermography system capable of withstanding weather exposure in substations and outdoor areas.


• Real scalability: Hundreds of points monitored with architectural simplicity and full integration.

Conclusion

ZYGGOT® Raddia definitively reaffirms Varixx's leadership in continuous wireless thermography, consolidating a lean, scalable solution that is resistant to the most adverse conditions.

Finally, if the goal is to ensure operational safety, cost reduction, and maximum availability, Raddia is the answer: Less hardware, fewer cables, more reliability.
