Sensor registration to observation

Save the sensor against its operating record and review each observation with its source and quality.

Step by step

  1. Establish sensor context Site Operator

    Site Operator confirms the sensor identifier, building, zone, metric and unit. Select the operating record that gives the registration its site context. Resolve a similar zone name against the actual building condition before submission.

    • Identify the sensor and its operating context
    • Updates Building sensors, Operational events, Sites
  2. Save the registration Site Operator

    Site Operator submits through the specialty sensor action. The action checks the details and saves the sensor against its operating record. Open Sensor Register and confirm the sensor identifier, building and zone.

    • Validate and persist the attributed sensor
    • Updates Building sensors, Operational events
  3. Capture the observation Site Operator

    Site Operator selects the sensor and records the observation date, value and quality through the observation action. The action checks the entry before saving it. Open the observation and confirm the sensor, date and value.

    • Validate and persist the dated value and quality
    • Updates Sensor observations, Building sensors
  4. Review source quality Site Operator or Facilities Manager

    Site Operator and Facilities Manager inspect Valid, Missing and Invalid observations using the sensor's metric and unit. Investigate unsuitable evidence before relying on it to interpret the building condition.

    • Examine the measurement in its metric and unit
    • Updates Sensor observations, Building sensors

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Wrong operating record. A recognizable building label does not replace checking the selected event and its site.
  • Incompatible units. Different metrics or units need separate interpretation even when both observations contain numbers.
  • Assumed save. Open the saved observation and check its sensor, date and value before using it in the site review.
