3.0 Introduction The Hyperion™ SmartControl Touch is the latest innovation from Meech. The SmartControl Touch allows the user to locally and remotely monitor and optimise the ionising performance of multiple connected Hyperion equipment. Local monitoring is via the large integrated touchscreen and remote monitoring via devices such as a mobile phone and tablet that are connected to SmartControl Touch on the local area network (LAN).
