Remote tank level and pump runtime monitoring

Illustrative pilot scenario for water and pump station monitoring. Metrics represent scoping targets for a typical first deployment.

Situation

A utility operates remote pump stations where status is collected through manual visits and phone calls from site staff. Tank levels and pump runtime are not visible centrally, delaying response to abnormal conditions.

Task

Deliver live tank level, pump runtime, and alarm visibility to a central operations view—reducing unnecessary site visits while improving incident response time.

Action

  • Deployed level sensors and runtime monitoring on pilot station pumps
  • Used cellular edge gateways for sites without wired connectivity
  • Built a simple operations dashboard with alert notifications
  • Integrated email and SMS escalation for critical level and pump fault conditions

Result

  • Operations sees station status without calling site staff for routine checks
  • Abnormal level or pump conditions trigger alerts within minutes
  • Historical runtime data supports maintenance scheduling and energy review

40% for routine checks

Site visit reduction goal

Under 10 minutes
