Condition Monitoring

We can help design the full thread from physical effect to decision: sensing, embedded processing on a node, communication to a server, and a simple dashboard. The emphasis is on decisions rather than data hoarding. Up-front we work with partners to agree the key performance indicators—false alarm and miss rates, detection latency, installation time, service interval, and battery life—so pilots have a realistic target. We then help choose sensors, define on-node algorithms, sketch data flows, and outline a dashboard that speaks the language of maintainers.

In a consortium, this bridges hardware, firmware, data, and user experience work packages. We pay attention to power budgets and housing/installation constraints, so prototypes are plausible on real vehicles or trackside locations. We can also draft test plans for short, informative pilots that exercise the full chain without over-committing resources.

Example applications
• Monitoring closure state of freight hatches or doors using non-intrusive sensing.
• Detecting vibration or impact events that indicate maintenance is needed.
• Simple environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, ingress) that ties back to asset condition.

Deliverables
• Architecture and interface notes; sensor and node choices; edge algorithm outline.
• KPI definition and pilot plan; dashboard mock-ups; short integration guide.
