Sensing & infrastructure
A reading is only the beginning. We are interested in the full path from a sensor or piece of connected equipment to the person who needs to understand a change and decide what to do about it.
An area of exploration
Our focus
The parts that interest us.
The right observation
Choosing what to measure around an operating question and understanding the limitations of the reading.
Connectivity in practice
Considering intermittent networks, local storage and the practical work of maintaining devices in the field.
Clear attention
Designing alerts and overviews that help a person distinguish ordinary variation from something worth investigating.
The question behind the work
Which change is worth someone’s attention?
Possible first steps
Something
we could test.
Starting points for discussion. A useful scope would be worked through with the people involved.
An equipment signal
Review a data stream with an operator to learn which changes matter and which simply create noise.
A small field pilot
Connect a limited number of observations to a straightforward interface, then test the complete monitoring routine.
