Remote monitoring systems offered by Global Monitoring help people and organizations manage equipment, operations and assets at a distant location in a more efficient and cost effective manner.

Typical Applications:

• Fuel oil and chemical companies that need to know how much product is in their customer’s storage tanks in order to schedule efficient deliveries.
• Manufacturers and operators of generators, water purification systems and environmental remediation equipment that want to periodically check the operation of the equipment at various locations in order to react to small problems before they become catastrophic.
• Property managers that want to ensure that the facilities that they are responsible for are kept at proper temperature and humidity levels.
• Utilities and public agencies responsible for the continued operation of infrastructures such as pipelines, highways, and water, wastewater and power distribution systems.
• Transportation and construction companies responsible for the movement and successful delivery of people, perishable goods, cargo containers, and bulk products.
• Companies and organizations responsible for monitoring, maintaining and/or improving the indoor or outdoor environment consisting of air quality, water quality and noise level.

Information from remote sites can be delivered as a voice message to a phone, a text message to a cellphone, or a printed message to a fax. Remote site data can also be viewed interactively from a website.

As the remote monitoring market matures, the initial focus on the hardware that enabled the collection of raw data from a remote site is being supplemented with “smart services” that turn raw data into actionable information. This is especially true when large numbers of remote locations are involved. What was once a daily reading of fuel levels in hundreds of remotely located storage tanks is now a total demand forecast with optimal routing for delivery trucks.

Other examples of “smart services” include:

• Increased up-time of equipment by scheduling preventive maintenance based on monitored parameters.
• Automatically managing the energy usage at a facility by time-shifting the operation of non-essential equipment based on energy costs, weather and building occupancy.
• Informing a repair technician of what parts to take to a remote site to correct an equipment failure.

Remote Monitoring: A Critical Technology for Critical Times

The US Government has identified 'remote monitoring' as a technology that is critical to solving many of today's problems.

And rightly so! When implemented correctly, remote monitoring systems can reduce energy consumption, reduce waste, improve efficency and can even save lives.
