Cold store, seafood processing
Holding export product at 2.6 °C, and proving it held.
Remote Monitoring
A pump stops at 2am. A cold room drifts over a weekend. A generator runs hot for a week. Left alone, each one is a repair bill or a write-off, and the reading that would have warned you was already there. #RemoteMonitoring #IoT #PredictiveMaintenance
This series takes one connected installation at a time and reads it properly: what the equipment is for, which measurements matter, what the charts are actually showing, and what it is worth to know a week earlier. Every post links to a device you can open and inspect yourself.
About the devices in this series
Each post is built on a SiliconWit reference device: a continuously running installation, one per industry, kept online so anyone can open a populated dashboard for their own sector before connecting equipment of their own. Its readings come from a physics model driven by real weather data, so the daily rhythms, the seasonal drift and the failure behaviour are the ones the equipment would actually produce.
They sit on the public device gallery alongside devices that people have chosen to share. Sharing is never automatic. Every device on SiliconWit.io is private by default, and it becomes visible only when its owner decides to publish it and picks which fields to show.
Borehole and storage tank
A pump that ran dry, and the reading that caught it.
CNC machine tool
Never switched off, and still a shift short. Where it went.
Greenhouse, cut flowers
An alarm that fires every night has stopped being an alarm.
Off-grid tower site
Forty litres left the tank with the engine stopped.
Car park carbon monoxide
Fans on a timer, or fans on a reading.
Laboratory incubator
The excursion that invalidates a week and leaves no trace.
Building power monitoring
Eighteen hours of darkness that read as 97.5% availability.
Student weather station
What turns a reading into a measurement.
Where to start
If you would rather see live data before reading about it, the public device gallery is open with no account, and you can send your own readings without signing up.
