Monitoring

CEI is experienced with projects where installed instrumentation needs continuous monitoring. Whether is for an indefinite period of time or simply for the life of the project. Monitoring can be done in two different methods, either manually and/or through automation.

Manual monitoring involves increased administrative time, but can reduce investment costs of an automated (ADAS) system.  Manual monitoring may be recommended for a smaller project that could be local and/or be accessed easily. This type of project would not typically require numerous instrument readings.

Automated systems might be recommended on a large project, with multiple instruments and/or at a distant remote location.  Automated monitoring may incur a higher initial investment than a manual system; however the overall saving on administrative costs can outweigh if there are many instruments and numerous instrument readings.  The best advantage to automated systems is, that the automated systems can be joined with modems (cell or short haul), radios, satellite telemetry, or an internet gateway (TCP/IP) to send/receive the data at a second or third location.

CEI performs all data reduction with charts/graphs and data sheets. We can monitor the instruments for you as long as necessary.
