Imagine, if you had a highly successful cold storage business, storing highly valuable perishable produce and you had a significant refrigerant leak, or furthermore , a sensor failure corrupted your entire facility control system . The unfortunate fact is, that this nightmare, actually happened to someone I know! Not only that, they spend more on service and maintenance than could be imagined, have a very sophisticated plant, adequately sized and with excessive amounts of redundancy.

Like almost all facilities however, they only had one central control system (PLC in cold storage, BMS in HVAC). Its quite common to have backup compressors, condensers, even backup power supplies, the astonishing fact however, is that its extremely rare to consider back up monitoring and reporting.

On a recent holiday, I found myself in deep discussion with a businessman who’s entire business was machine monitoring. This, coupled with my friends cold storage incident, started me thinking (which is always dangerous), and I guess became the foundation of “ Livesense”.

So, what is Livesense?

Our thrust, is not be another control system, it is to be a simple,  cost effective, monitoring and reporting  system  for those “keep me awake at night incidents”. These will vary from building to building and process to process,  as a result customised web based dashboards can be quickly constructed for individual buildings or applications. For example, a cold store may be focussed on temperature, smoke, refrigerant and condensing temperature: whereas a hospital may be more concerned about the status of its backup generator, that its chemical dosing equipment is running, temperature is maintained in its operating theatures; conversely, a facility manager, on a 45C day, may want to simply look at his building and check the chilled water temperature; someone with a green building may be interested in automated collation and reporting for Green Star?

Whatever those “keep me awakers” are, if they can be sensed, Livesense can alarm, monitor and report via its web based dashboard system – accessed when, where and how you want it.

Is it expensive?

No Livesense, is a subscription based system with no fixed contracts.Simply pay a deposit for the hardware, pay a monthly subscription and you can log into your individual customised dashboard.

Will I get urgent alarms?

Yes. Define what you want to when you want to know and how you would like to view it and Livesense will do the rest.

Will Livesense add value to my business?

Although, we would like to say yes, you are the only one who can successfully determine that. As a result, we encourage you to install Livesense for a free no obligation trial for the 1^st month.
