Product

Everything in one box.

Collecting, decoding, calculating, storing and showing your data. No separate servers, no client software to install. Used every day, not just when the network fails. In daily use on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams since 2018.

What you get

Six things it does well.

Watch what's happening

  • Current values for every site, on one page you arrange yourself
  • A live dashboard that updates while you watch
  • Alarms on the levels that matter, and on data that stops arriving
  • Color-coded, so a problem stands out at a glance

Report on it

  • The standard dam and river report, ready to print
  • Build your own with the columns you actually use
  • Interactive charts over any period

Set it up yourself

  • Add sites, groups and rating tables from the browser
  • Change how a gauge is read without calling us
  • A user guide built into the box, no internet needed

Get the data out

  • Straight into the models your hydrologists already run
  • A documented API for anything you are building
  • Plain spreadsheets and raw downloads for everything else

Maintain it in one place

  • Configure sites and settings centrally
  • Every unit in the field picks up the change
  • An email when any unit goes quiet

See the weather too

  • Weather stations alongside river and reservoir gauges
  • Live satellite weather imagery, received directly from the satellite
  • See a storm coming and adjust reservoir levels sooner
  • Any time series you measure, stored and charted the same way
