Installing AeroPilot
A typical deployment covers site assessment, gateway installation, sensor connection, calibration, alarm setup and operator access.
- 01
Assess the site and install the gateway
We review the blower equipment, controller interfaces, existing sensors and network access. Gateway placement and required cabling are agreed with the site team before installation.
- 02
Connect and calibrate sensors
Each available signal is mapped to the gateway. Readings such as pressure, temperature, speed, current and power are checked against the existing controller or instrument display.
- 03
Set up data hosting and access
Devices are added to the site account and named to match the facility. Users receive access to the web dashboard. Data can be hosted in an Australian cloud region or on site where required.
- 04
Configure thresholds and alerts
The operations team agrees warning and critical limits for each measurement. Email, SMS and webhook recipients are then assigned according to site and alarm severity.
- 05
Build a 3D facility model, if required
Where the optional 3D view is used, the model is prepared from available drawings and site information. Equipment readings and states are then linked to the corresponding model components.
- 06
Start monitoring and establish baselines
AeroPilot begins recording telemetry and sending configured alerts. During the first two to four weeks, the team reviews operating patterns and adjusts limits for each connected machine where needed.
Planning the work
Installation time depends on the blower controller, available signals, cabling routes and site access. The scope is confirmed after the initial assessment.
If a 3D facility model is required, drawings and site information are collected separately from the gateway installation.
