UTILITIES & EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment monitoring
Give maintenance teams better visibility of how equipment is operating and where a closer inspection may be needed.
Pumps, fans, heating plant and other building equipment can be distributed across many sites. Connected condition and status information helps teams investigate exceptions between routine visits and build a more useful maintenance history.

01
What we monitor
Depending on the asset and approved installation method, monitoring may include operating status, runtime, temperature, vibration or electrical demand. Existing controller data can be used where an appropriate interface is available. We select measurements that relate to a defined maintenance question and preserve the equipment’s local protection and control systems.
02
Illustrative application scenario
For example, a pump’s runtime increases while the associated system performs differently from its normal baseline. The team reviews the trend alongside operating conditions and schedules an inspection. Finding and resolving the cause can then be followed by comparison with subsequent performance.
A change in a signal is a reason to investigate, not a diagnosis of a specific fault. Different loads, seasons and operating modes can produce legitimate changes.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
Rhine-water pumps at CHEMPARK
Conneqtive describes six wireless vibration sensors monitoring three Rhine-water pumps at CHEMPARK Krefeld-Uerdingen. LoRaWAN carries condition data into a cloud dashboard, supporting targeted maintenance with vibration-analysis expertise. The publisher reports a 70% reduction in downtime for the project. The example illustrates the combination of suitable sensing, analysis and maintenance action rather than a benefit delivered by connectivity alone.

03
What your team sees in NesosIQ
View asset trends, agreed exceptions and relevant device status in one place. Combine equipment information with utilities or indoor-condition data where useful. Scoped integration with a maintenance or building-management system can connect monitoring to the existing work process.
04
What a pilot should establish
Choose a small set of consequential assets and define the failure or performance question. Check mounting, measurement frequency, sensor range and data quality with the maintenance team. Build a normal-operation baseline before setting thresholds, then assess useful findings and time saved on diagnostic visits.
LoRaWAN can suit periodic status and summary data; high-frequency vibration analysis may require local processing or different connectivity. The deployment is specified for that need. Monitoring supports maintenance judgement and does not guarantee failure prediction or replace required servicing.
05
Add AI-powered maintenance insight
Where suitable historical data is available, NesosIQ can add anomaly detection and forecasting to condition monitoring. We configure and validate the analytics around selected assets, helping your maintenance team investigate changing behaviour and prioritise inspections.

No. Nesos IoT deployments use LoRaWAN, a low-power wireless standard designed for monitoring across buildings and estates, so devices do not rely on building Wi-Fi. Network design, gateway connectivity and a site survey are confirmed for each project so coverage fits the environment.
-
Your organisation does. Nesos IoT does not manage alerts or operational responses: your team defines the thresholds, notification routes and response procedures, and NesosIQ can connect to your existing systems through APIs and agreed integrations.
-
Yes. Suitable applications can share the same estate network and NesosIQ platform, so you can start with one challenge and add further monitoring as your needs grow. Our device-agnostic approach selects compatible equipment for each task.

We follow Discover, Survey, Pilot, Deploy, Integrate and Scale, starting with a focused pilot that validates measurements, coverage and the operational response. Nesos IoT is based in St Helier, Jersey, and works across the Channel Islands and beyond. Call +44 (0) 1534 753225 or email info@nesos.co.uk.
NEXT STEPS
From pilot to portfolio
We follow Discover, Survey, Pilot, Deploy, Integrate and Scale: agree the operational need, validate devices and coverage, commission the solution and connect it to the people who will act. Device choice, reporting intervals and integrations are confirmed for each project. Suitable applications can share the estate network and NesosIQ platform.
