Specialized fields
Energy, field by field.

Energy is a chain of very different places. A wellpad venting methane in the desert, a pipeline crossing rivers and towns, a power plant with a stack and a cooling pond, a dam above a valley, a wind farm on a ridge, a solar plant on a plain, a transmission line through a forest and a distribution feeder on a city street each measure different things under different rules. Each field below has its own stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation.

01Specialized fields

Choose the field you work in.

Each field page sets out the operating context and hazards, what must be measured and under which rules, the stack from base unit to network, the work from order to operation, the data products and the cited sources.

Specialized field

Upstream oil and gas

Methane detection and quantification at wellpads and facilities, flare and tank monitoring, wellhead flow and pressure, on satellite and private links for sites with no one on them.The full field →
Specialized field

Pipelines and midstream

Leak detection, cathodic protection, pressure and flow along the line, geohazards at crossings and compressor and pump stations, on LoRaWAN, satellite and private links over hundreds of kilometres.The full field →
Specialized field

Thermal power plants

Continuous emissions, machine condition, cooling water and plant weather for gas, coal and biomass plants, with an industrial network that keeps the control system separate and secure.The full field →
Specialized field

Hydropower and dams

Dam safety instruments, reservoir and river levels, inflow forecasting and downstream warning, with links that keep working in the flood the dam is there to hold.The full field →
Specialized field

Wind farms

Wind resource and power performance, turbine condition, icing, lightning and wildlife monitoring, from the first met mast to an operating farm on one record.The full field →
Specialized field

Solar power plants

Irradiance, module temperature, soiling, inverter output and plant weather to international monitoring classes, for bankable performance ratios and fewer surprises in operation.The full field →
Specialized field

Transmission networks

Line ratings from measured weather and conductor state, wildfire and vegetation watch, substation automation and synchrophasor timing, on private LTE, microwave and fibre along the corridor.The full field →
Specialized field

Distribution networks and the grid edge

Feeder and transformer monitoring, distributed energy resources, fault location and outage evidence, on a utility private network that reaches every pole and substation.The full field →

02Solution bundles

Start with one unit. Grow to a network.

The same systems at every scale, on the open protocol, so nothing you buy is replaced as you grow.

  1. 01

    Base unit

    One station or node, specified for this industry: instruments, power, enclosure and backhaul.

    Build a station →
  2. 02

    Site

    A surveyed, commissioned site with its timing, its links and the evidence file a buyer can audit.

    Plan a site →
  3. 03

    Fleet

    Many sites run as one service: one plan, one update path, one evidence trail, one service level.

    Managed offers →
  4. 04

    Network

    Fleets that federate with partner grids through the open protocol, owner by owner.
