Be Compliant and Simplify Reporting

Complying with Environmental regulations is a data business. There are a high amount of parameters that have to be monitored and controlled, for triggering alarms and correct the process or for timely and exhaustive reporting to Government bodies.
Traditionally this data has been collected manually by hand-written forms or spreadsheets, or by automatic cable-based or cellular SCADA systems. However, in many occasions, the monitoring points are widespread in areas around the industrial facilities or in confined spaces where it is not trivial to have access to power or communications.
Moreover, the frequency of reporting can be also challenging for the number of testing, variables and regulations involved. The process can be tedious and time-consuming.
The new Internet of Things (IoT) technologies allow to have autonomous dataloggers that can collect low frequent data, without the need of cellular connection and batteries lasting for years. Moreover, new industrial-grade Edge Computers like the Sensemetrics´ Thread also allow plug and play connectivity, control and simple maintenance for the high powered, high frequency equipment.
Both technologies, combined with the new Cloud computing platforms, allow that streams of data can be properly collected, managed, visualized and analyzed in real-time, anywhere, by different users in a secure environment, with no datafiles involved, database corruption or complex set-ups.

The innovative Sensemetrics’ Thread is an edge-computer that can control, command and data-log from complex digital devices such as meteorological stations. Pairing with VW interfaces like dataloggers or Multiplexers, is also able to concentrate and read the great variety of Vibrating Wire or Analog sensors.
Virtually any sensor can be connected. Interface drivers are instantly distributed to sensemetrics edge devices located anywhere in the world, and facilitate standardized aggregation of sensor data to the cloud for storage and computation.
Data computation and retrieval is available to any authorized user or system via the sensemetrics API.

Cloud technology streamlines the data collection process and places focus on data interpretation. All tools, services, and support related to sensor management, data streaming and storage of sensor data on the sensemetrics platform is accessible by a simple browser connected anywhere to the Internet.
Connecting a geotechnical sensor has never been so easy. Add a device as complex as a Meteorogical station or a Multisensor probe on the sensemetrics platform and start to see relevant and actionable graphs right away.
The backend will take care of fetching the calibration data from the manufacturer database directly, avoiding human errors and keeping a system of record of your team operations.

In environmental monitoring, it is very common to have scattered and high distributed sensors with low frequency of data collection. Typically installed in difficult or un-accessible locations, these sensors have to send data only in a few moments a day, but during years, with no access to external power or cellular connectivity.
The emerging IoT LPWAN protocols such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox or WiSUN, fit perfectly well to that needs, providing uneconomic small dataloggers, battery-powered and with Long-Range of transmission on proprietary or public networks.
There are just a handful brands that provide LPWAN devices for the monitoring environment such as Senceive, Ackcio, Wisen, Loadsensing or Ursalink. Everyone has their own approach and capabilities that fit better for the particular application and budget needs.

Tailored systems is official reseller of Ursalink, one of the most affordable and leading companies for environmental monitoring.
