Client Overview
The client operates a critical infrastructure facility with fire-fighting and utility systems comprising water storage tanks, diesel storage for generators, and pump rooms with multiple electrically driven pumps. Continuous visibility of water availability, diesel levels, pump status, and pressure conditions was essential for operational readiness, compliance, and preventive maintenance.
The client required a reliable IoT solution capable of acquiring sensor data, monitoring digital inputs, and securely transmitting validated data to their backend system.
Project Objectives
- Enable continuous and accurate measurement of water level, diesel level, and water pressure.
- Digitize the operational status of key fire and utility equipment.
- Provide remote access to live and historical data using GSM-Activated communication.
- Ensure seamless integration with the cloud dashboard.
- Deliver a robust, easy-to-install solution suitable for industrial pump room environments.
