Choose Connectivity for Remote Sensors
A field decision method for cellular LPWA, private LoRaWAN and satellite/store-forward options based on coverage evidence, topology, latency and operating burden.
OpenFix, Configure and Commission Remote Monitoring
Focused procedures for connectivity, power, alerts, data continuity, commissioning, solar pumps, WASH metrics and sensor verification.
These procedures are for a specific field task: selecting a network path, checking a power budget, fixing noisy alerts, validating a groundwater time series or handing over an installed site. They use explicit rules and acceptance checks so a change can be verified rather than merely described. Where a threshold or numeric value is shown as an example, replace it with the local decision requirement and evidence. Safety, water-quality, electrical and regulatory requirements belong to the responsible local authority and manufacturer procedures; the pages here are technical planning aids, not substitutes for those controls. For system-level decisions, move from a focused procedure to the linked guide or procurement comparison.
Build a Sensor Power Budget That Survives the Field
Convert sampling, radio activity, sleep current and seasonal charging into a maintenance interval with explicit margin.
OpenFix Unreliable Pump Alerts
Diagnose false alarms and missed failures by separating expected operation, sensor quality, persistence, communications health and response logic.
OpenValidate Water-Level Sensor Data Before Interpreting a Trend
A diagnostic workflow for datum shifts, drift, pumping effects, pressure compensation, timestamp errors and real groundwater change.
OpenDesign Alert Thresholds Without Creating Alarm Fatigue
Choose absolute, rate, persistence and hysteresis rules from the decision risk, signal behavior and allowed response delay.
OpenPrevent Telemetry Data Gaps in Remote Sensor Fleets
Design local buffering, retry behavior, timestamps and health signals so intermittent networks create recoverable delays instead of missing evidence.
OpenCommission a Remote Monitoring Site
A practical handover sequence for reference measurements, power, buffering, connectivity, alert routing and acceptance evidence.
OpenMonitor Solar Water Pumps Without Ignoring Groundwater Risk
Combine PV/controller, motor, flow and water-level signals so energy faults, hydraulic faults and abstraction stress can be separated.
OpenMonitor WASH Service Performance, Not Just Hardware Uptime
Translate sensor and operational data into availability, quality and response measures that remain connected to service outcomes.
OpenDesign Sanitation Monitoring Data Around the Service Chain
Choose indicators across containment, emptying, transport and treatment without pretending one sensor can represent the whole sanitation service.
OpenCalibrate and Verify Remote Water Sensors Without Losing Data Traceability
A reference-check and quality-flag workflow for installed water sensors, including what to record when calibration or maintenance changes the time series.
