Invocon MicroWIS-XG systems transmit data to receivers attached to a standard RS-232 port on a PC. These remote units are capable of interfacing with any type of resistive strain, temperature, pressure, or humidity sensors.

• Successfully Flown on STS-101 and successfully acquired temperature data from several key locations in and around the Shuttle Crew Compartment and avionics equipment
• Technology applicable to the NASA Exploration program
  

• The system is used to monitor external grout pressure during construction of two tunnels in the Netherlands
• In 2002, the system was used to monitor the induced fatigue due to stresses on a bridge during the construction and testing phases
  

• MicroWIS-XG system is an enhanced version of original Invocon MicroWIS system developed for NASA in 1998 which can operate in conjunction with both the MITE WIS™ and the ELMWIS™ systems
