OGLAS: monitoring for off-grid sites

The Off-Grid Local Alert System: custom sensors, hubs and data analysis for sites with no reliable phone line and no wish to pay a monthly cloud bill.

Overview

OGLAS is the monitoring product line I build for off-grid and poorly connected sites: farms, fishing boats, golf-cart fleets, forklifts, factories and remote power installations. It measures and controls things in the field, gets the data to where you can use it, and raises an alert when something needs attention.

The pipeline is Sensors → Hubs → Local → Cloud, and I build the custom version of any link in that chain.

There are no subscriptions and no telco dependency, and the data stays yours.

How it fits together

Sensors

Measure or switch tank and trough level, soil moisture, power, gate and asset state, vehicle and engine, weather, smoke and gas. Long-range wireless, built to run off-grid.

Hubs

On-site receivers that collect sensor data and hand it on: LoRa, mesh and satellite hubs, with optional large or small displays. See Mesh & LoRa and the Gateway.

Local

Browse and analyse your data on site, on an SBC or a laptop. It backs up and manages data across every hub, and the data stays local.

Cloud

An optional private copy off-site, over LTE, Wi-Fi, satellite or HaLow. View it from your phone while you are away, and share it with whoever you choose.

Custom builds

Most of the work is bespoke: sensors, hubs, monitoring, alerts, and data analysis and presentation for sites where nothing off the shelf fits. If you have something that needs watching, online or off-grid, get in touch.
