Why choose remote monitoring devices?
Water damage restoration projects require careful control of on-site equipment. If systems overdry objects, energy efficiency plummets. If equipment dries too gently, the time required to restore a property increases. Simply put, poorly maintained and managed equipment increases the cost of completing a drying job.
To ensure a project is running smoothly and that equipment is performing as expected, drying technicians would often make regular visits to sites. However, these frequent commutes take time and send fuel expenses soaring.
Remote monitoring devices and control units or system monitoring tools allow technicians to observe important statistics, such as equipment energy consumption, room temperature and relative humidity, without the need for a physical site visit. This has several advantages for operators:
- Gather important insight into the progress of a claim and prevent needless downtime to optimize the cost of a job
- Automatically control systems when certain predefined thresholds are met
- Minimize on-site disruptions to improve comfort for residents still living in water-damaged property
- Capture and share key data with stakeholders, insurance companies and other relevant parties
- Develop reports to share with clients and colleagues to illustrate the successful completion of a job
These supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems work by gathering readings from sensors located on-site. This data is then transmitted to a cloud-based platform. Personnel can observe real-time stats and take action to enhance the cost-effectiveness of a claim.
Wireless monitoring and remote control systems represent the most efficient and effective way of monitoring indoor conditions and drying water-damaged property. Without high-quality sensors and monitoring software:
- Inaccurate readings can cause technicians to take the wrong actions
- Slow data collection may compromise cost efficiency
- Needless complexity can allow faults to be missed
With decades of experience developing efficient and effective water damage restoration equipment, our range of remote monitoring devices and control technologies are helping technicians minimize the costs of their claims all over the world.
