- Central data collection from meters, tanks, valves, doors and more
- Local automation logic for pumps, valves and safety limits
- Historical trends and reporting for water, energy and events
- Alerting via email or messaging when thresholds are exceeded
- Open, standards‑based stack – no proprietary lock‑in
Under the hood
Built on proven open technologies you can trust.
- MQTT broker for secure messaging
- Node‑RED for logic and integrations
- Time‑series database for history
- Grafana dashboards for visualisation
- Linux OS (Ubuntu/Debian) for stability
Typical sizing
Scaled to match the size of your site.
- Small: Single building / plant room
