Condition monitoring network — Steel

The challenge

Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in steel.

What we built

We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using LoRaWAN, ESP32, MQTT so there was one accountable team.

Delivery timeline

1. Phase 1

   Discovery sprint and site survey

2. Phase 2

   Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab

3. Phase 3

   Pilot on site with before/after measurement

4. Phase 4

   Scale-out, training and handover

Highlights

• Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
• Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
• Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
• Documentation, drawings and source handed over at close
