The need and approach
Connect measurements, communication and authorised operations at remote equipment.
Sites with weak connectivity need local records and replay planning. Pending commands have time and condition limits instead of remaining valid indefinitely.
Signals to monitor
Meter readings, level, pressure, pump state and communication quality
Data flow
Field device → data collection → timestamped record → industry-specific view → responsible person’s assessment.
Questions for discovery
- Are technical documents for the data sources available?
- What delay is acceptable for current data?
- How will outages and sensor faults be detected?
- Which role responds to an alarm?
- What retention and reporting requirements apply?
Limits and field conditions
Physical protection and local operator priority remain in place. A web interface is not a safety controller.
