Control systems and technologies

Why choose control systems?

Water damage restoration projects require careful control of on-site equipment. If systems overdry objects, energy efficiency plummets. If equipment dries too gently, the time required to restore a property increases. Simply put, poorly maintained and managed equipment increases the cost to complete a drying job.

To ensure a project is running smoothly and that equipment is performing as expected, drying technicians would often make regular visits to sites. However, these frequent commutes take time and send fuel expenses soaring.

Remote control units and system monitoring tools allow technicians to observe important statistics, such as equipment energy consumption, room temperature and relative humidity, without the need for a physical site visit. This has several advantages for operators:

• Gather important insight into the progress of a claim and prevent needless downtime to optimise the cost of a job

• Automatically control systems when certain predefined thresholds are met

• Minimise on-site disruptions to improve comfort for residents still living in water damaged property

• Capture and share key data with stakeholders, insurance companies and other relevant parties

• Develop reports to share with clients and colleagues to illustrate the successful completion of a job

These supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems work by gathering readings from sensors located on-site. This data is then transmitted to a cloud based platform. Personnel can observe real-time stats and take actions to enhance the cost-effectiveness of a claim.

Wireless monitoring and remote control systems represent the most efficient and effective way of monitoring indoor conditions and drying water damage property. Without high-quality sensors and monitoring software:

• Inaccurate readings can cause technicians to take the wrong actions

• Slow data collection may compromise cost-efficiency

• Needless complexity can allow faults to go missed

With decades of experience developing efficient and effective water damage restoration equipment, our range of monitoring and control technologies are helping technicians minimise the costs of their claims all over the world.
