Noema - Analog Gauge Monitoring Application
The Analog Gauge Monitoring application from Noema uses computer vision to automatically monitor analog gauges and generate live data. A single camera can monitor multiple gauges at once, and live readings are sent to a backend or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for aggregation, monitoring and control. Noema apps operate at the edge, meaning computing is done on the camera itself, with no additional hardware required. Noema’s Analog Gauge Monitoring Application is more cost effective than a human operator and automatically digitizes readings from analog gauges.
The Problem
Monitoring analog industrial gauges in hard-to-reach places can be time consuming, expensive, and potentially dangerous. The readings from these gauges contain critical information, that needs to be relayed in a time-sensitive manner and in an easy-to-use format.
Even when readings are recorded correctly, it is a tedious process converting data to a digital format to ensure precise analysis and decision making.
Noema Solution
Noema’s Analog Gauge Monitoring application uses smart cameras and computer vision to automate monitors multiple analogue gauges and generates live data that can be aggregated by operators for more powerful insights. The application can be configured remotely onto a single camera which can monitor multiple gauges, with no additional hardware required.
Gauges are automatically monitored 24/7 and data is automatically digitized, allowing decision-makers access to real-time data, for aggregation, analysis and control.
- Monitors multiple gauges with a single camera
- A variety of cameras and gauges are supported
- Easy configuration & use
- Works with visible light and infrared images
- Generates live data from non-digital gauges
- Works with little internet bandwidth
- VMS and SCADA integration
Automated, 24/7 monitoring
Noema’s Analog Gauge Monitoring Application runs 24/7 and detects level changing events and critical tank levels with more consistency than a human operator. Having a human operator monitoring feeds is costly and prone to error, as continuous monitoring is nearly impossible. Real-time alerts minimize response times and regulatory costs for operators.
Computing at the Edge
Noema’s Analog Gauge Level Monitoring application operates at the edge, meaning the algorithm runs entirely on the camera, allowing you to monitor multiple tanks, on a single camera, with no additional hardware required.
Remote Installation & Configuration
Noema’s computer vision applications are easy to install. Mount a new camera or equip an existing one and configure the application remotely over the internet. No additional on-site hardware or measurements are required.
Data and Integrations
Noema’s Gauge Monitoring Application generates easily digestible metadata that can be integrated to any backend or SCADA.
