Real-Time Insights for Safer, Compliant Worksites
OVERVIEW:
The IoT Environmental Monitoring feature enables real-time collection, visualisation, and management of data from on-site environmental sensors. These can include dust, noise, vibration, weather, and other health, safety and environmental (HSE) metrics. Users can set threshold limits, receive alerts when levels exceed compliance standards, and log contextual information to support audits, investigations, and regulatory reporting.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Real-Time Sensor Integration
- Connects with a wide range of IoT-enabled environmental sensors, including:
- Dust and particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10)
- Noise levels (dB)
- Ground vibration and movement
- Weather data (temperature, wind speed, humidity, rainfall, etc.)
- Supports industry-standard protocols (e.g., MQTT, LoRaWAN, HTTPS APIs).
Live Dashboard Visualisation
- Displays real-time readings via the operational Map
- Configurable Power BI Dashboards
- View current and historical data by sensor type, location, and time range.
Threshold Configuration & Alerts
- Define custom thresholds for each monitored parameter.
- Trigger real-time notifications (email, SMS, in-app) when levels breach defined limits.
- Escalation workflows for persistent or critical exceedances.
Non-Adherence Logging
- Record the reason for any threshold breach via structured forms or free-text entry.
- Attach supporting documentation or photos (e.g., weather incident, site activity).
- Categorise breaches (e.g., external source, equipment failure, planned activity).
Compliance Reporting & Audit Trail
- Export detailed logs of alarm event, reasons, and actions taken.
- Generate automated reports aligned with environmental regulations or project KPIs.
- Tamper-proof logs with time stamps and user attribution for accountability.
Sensor Health & Connectivity Monitoring
- Track sensor uptime, battery status, and signal strength.
- Receive alerts for offline devices or irregular data intervals.
USER STORIES
- As a site manager, I want to monitor dust and noise levels in real time to ensure we remain compliant with environmental regulations and avoid fines.
- As a health and safety officer, I want to receive alerts and log the reason for exceedances so we can document mitigation efforts and prepare for inspections.
- As a project director, I want to analyse environmental trends across projects and compare compliance rates over time.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Compatible with multi-vendor IoT ecosystems via configurable APIs and webhooks.
- Data storage optimised for high-frequency sensor inputs and long-term historical queries.
- Built-in safeguards to prevent false positives due to sensor anomalies or short-term spikes.
- GDPR- and ISO-compliant data retention and access controls.
