There are some things you need to be notified of somewhat quickly, but not instantly. But some things you need to know instantly. Like where your keys are when you’re late for work. But if you work for a municipal gas company, an over-pressure situation takes priority over pretty much everything else. And instantly, is just barely fast enough.

It’s why so many companies are digitally transforming their line monitoring—and Emerson's Zedi Cloud SCADA Solutions is leading the way.

Sensors placed at critical points throughout your system, you—and all authorized personnel who need to respond—will be notified quickly when an over-pressure situation happens. That way you can make adjustments, in person or remotely.
Sometimes an under-pressure situation for any city or town natural gas distribution system can be just as concerning because it could mean a compressor is down, slowing service to the affected area. This can also lead to issues for customers, so its quick resolution is also important.

Remote monitoring also makes your people more efficient, helping keep payroll and inventory under control. With real-time notification, your people will know where to go, and that will tell them much of what they need to know about the parts, tools and supplies they may need—which will minimize second or third trips to the warehouse or yard.

That’s the up-close and personal view, a vital one indeed. But there’s also the big picture.
