Sense
Monitor your environment, machines and power
Temperature, humidity and weather. Readings from machines and meters over Modbus. Solar and battery power. One place to see it all, and an alarm when a limit is crossed or a sensor goes quiet.
Machines and power
The same charts and alarms, for the equipment you already run.
A limit on any reading
Set a threshold on a pressure, a level, a current or a temperature, and get an alarm when it is crossed or when the device stops reporting.
Set up with you
Tell us the machine or meter and what you want to read from it. We set up the readings with you and check the first values together.
Environment
Temperature and humidity
LoRaWAN sensors for cold rooms, pump houses and storage. Still being validated on our own system, and available on request.
Weather
Local weather station
Connected to a gateway. An overview, a calendar of past conditions, a wind rose and a workability view for planning around wind limits.
Weather forecast for every site
A forecast for each site's location. In the United States it comes from the National Weather Service; elsewhere from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway). For a station in the United States, we can also switch on the National Weather Service's active alerts for its location.
Measured where the work is
A forecast covers the area around your site. The station on site measures the wind where the lift or the work at height happens, which is the number a limit applies to.
When something changes
Threshold alarms
Too hot, too cold, too windy. You set the limit on the asset it applies to.
Silent-sensor alarms
A sensor that stops reporting is a problem too, so it raises an alarm of its own.
Where an alarm reaches you
Alarms show in Powoflow in your browser, and as a notification on your phone with the mobile app.
Keep your history
Readings are kept, and changing plan does not shorten them.
The alarm, the asset and the fix together
The reading sits on the asset's record, next to the work order that deals with it.
When a permit sets the limit
Permits and contracts set limits on wind, dust and noise. Keep them as alarms, and keep the readings as your record.
The limit on the asset it applies to
Set the permit's wind limit as an alarm on the weather station that measures it, and name the alarm after the condition it comes from.
The record that shows you kept it
Every reading is kept with its time, and every alarm stays in the alarm history, next to the work order that followed. Export the readings as CSV when someone asks.
One reading, several uses
The same wind reading tells the crew whether a lift is inside its limit, shows which way the wind blew when a neighbour asks about dust, and stays in the history for the question that comes months later.
Dust and noise
Some weather stations on our hardware page also measure particulates and noise. We have not validated those readings on our own system yet. Tell us the limits in your permit, and we will say plainly what we can measure today.
Know when Starlink updates itself
Starlink installs software on its own schedule, and the dish reboots to do it. Powoflow records each update, reboot and outage, scores the link from 0 to 100, tracks 30-day availability and obstruction, and lets you stow, reboot or speed-test the dish from the dashboard.
Why it mattersGround and structure movement
Powoflow Sense Neva measures position with RTK GNSS on a fixed monument and reports through Powoflow Sense Mesa. Powoflow shows whether the ground or the structure is moving, whether the data can be trusted, and raises an alarm when movement holds over three consecutive nights.

What it does not do yet
- Alarms show in Powoflow in your browser, and as a notification on your phone with the mobile app. Email and other channels are being built, and we will list them when they work.
- Machine and meter readings are set up with you, device by device. Ask before you rely on a reading we have not checked together.
- Leak, door, soil and light sensors are in testing. They can be supplied on request, and we tell you plainly what has been proven.
- We keep the readings and the alarms. Writing the report a regulator asks for is still your job.
