The line

Three products. One reading, kept whole, all the way.

The site node in the energy centre. It reads the controllers and meters, queues every reading until the broker has it, and sends over one encrypted outbound connection. It never changes plant on its own.

What stays true along the line

The rules every stage keeps.

Every reading keeps its identity

Its sensor, its unit, its time and its quality grade travel with it from the controller to the screen. Nothing is averaged before it is stored.

Nothing comes in to the site

The site node and the supervisor both dial out. There is no new opening in the energy centre's firewall and no visit from us to make one.

The model is never in the live data path

The checks on a reading are physics and arithmetic. The model works on readings it can trust, afterwards, and only proposes.

Plant changes only with an engineer on site

A control state is called from a catalogue, signed, with an engineer checked in and a heartbeat fail-safe at the site end. Nothing changes plant unattended.

The records belong to the network

Whoever the contractor is and whoever we are, servicing history, readings, jobs and evidence stay with the network.

Every figure points at its evidence

A certificate, a laboratory result, a completed job, an invoice, a meter reading. Status is never stored; it is worked out from the dates each time.
