SLATE

About

SLATE is designed to make remote monitoring projects of all sizes feasible and to increase productivity, margins and value for those engaging in remote monitoring activities from all perspectives i.e. for services suppliers, construction companies, building owners, asset owners, etc. and those on the periphery of remote monitoring projects such as project managers, investors and similar. SLATE does this by providing a rich set of data management, action and reporting tools. It uses understanding focussed AI to support and upskill inexperienced workers as they use the platform as well as driving insight and accelerating key activities conducted on the platform such as report drafting and delivery. For asset owners such as building managers SLATE can be used to aggregate data from disparate sensors and systems that may be installed and can use this data to trigger human focussed messages (email, SMS, etc.) and system triggered activities in remotely controllable systems. For example with room occupancy sensors and a smart lighting system in place SLATE can trigger the lights to turn off when a room is unoccupied and send a message to reception or security staff that the room is now empty, as well as providing reports on actual and future predicted room use via the occupancy data. This is of course a simple and somewhat contrived example and more complex monitoring, action and reporting scenarios are possible. With respect to reporting, automated daily, weekly, monthly or other timeframe reports that describe the performance of a building or a portfolio of buildings can be defined and scheduled. This means that once configured, asset owners and building managers can sit back and receive scheduled information on their infrastructure in a regular digestible format, whilst also being able to login at any point to review the current status of all monitored places in real time. Furthermore SLATE can incorporate data into 2D and 3D schematics of buildings such as floor plans, CAD drawings, photographs (e.g. from remote cameras), blueprints and BIM models to aid visualisation of sensor data, forming a digital twin of the building and the processes occurring within it (which can then be extended to model future or alternative behaviours such as predicting energy usage and cost with increased occupancy for example). Finally our overview map provides a GIS style interface for rapidly viewing the locations of buildings in the world and ascertaining the status (e.g. red, amber, green) of key building metrics. Though a SaaS solutions provider who typically works with other businesses providing the monitoring service(s), we do also have options for bespoke sensor system development as and when necessary to aid data aggregation or integration (particularly with existing/legacy systems).
