Plant data, dashboards and alerts.
Your equipment already knows the counts, the downtime, the run hours and the tank levels. We put them on a screen and in a report, without replacing what works.
What you get
- A connection to up to four PLCs, or one existing control system.
- Twelve months of history, exportable as a spreadsheet. The data is yours.
- Up to four dashboards, in any browser, on site or on a phone.
- Up to three reports emailed on a schedule: production by shift, downtime by cause, alarm counts.
- Up to five alerts by email or text.
- A written description of every measurement and calculation, so you're not locked in.
| Item | Effort |
|---|---|
| Package build | About six days of engineering, done remotely |
| Hosting and upkeep | The history, backups, updates, and up to two hours of changes a month |
| Extra PLC, dashboard or report | Half a day to a day each |
Fixed price. Ask for the one-page offer with prices. Not included: changes to a PLC program to bring out numbers it doesn't record yet, changes to your network or firewall, and links to scheduling or accounting systems.

Monitoring and records for an EPA licence
For sites that hold an environment protection licence: landfills and leachate ponds, chemical and fuel plants, wastewater and food processing.
- Levels, flows and alarms read from the PLC, with new instruments where something isn't measured yet.
- High-level switches and pump shutdowns that work on their own, apart from the main program.
- A text and an email when a level or a reading crosses its limit.
- A history of every reading and alarm, exportable for the annual return or the data you publish.
- Totals for each discharge line, and reports emailed on a schedule.
Sampling, lab tests and reading the results against your licence stay with your environmental consultant. We measure, log, alarm and report.
