Pain Points (Public)

Industrial and geotechnical monitoring installations (such as dams, tunnels, and mining sites) require logging both standard RS-485 transmitters and specialized resonant sensors like vibrating-wire gauges. Off-the-shelf industrial dataloggers are often bulky, costly, and proprietary, while in-house custom designs struggle with high-voltage excitation, ultra-low power consumption for remote solar deployments, wear-resistant non-volatile storage, and multi-bearer telemetry.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Architect a modular multi-board data-acquisition platform that separates core processing and communications from specialized sensor front-ends. The host board employs an ultra-low-power STM32 microcontroller, high-endurance FRAM for high-frequency logging without flash wear-out, and hybrid LoRa and cellular LTE telemetry, while swappable expansion boards provide tuned excitation and frequency detection circuits tailored for geotechnical instrumentation.

Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Treat this initially as a high-margin specialized hardware engineering consultancy for geotechnical and structural monitoring clients (such as Safe Instrumentación) rather than forcing an unvalidated standalone off-the-shelf product.
What to build first
    1. Deliver Altium Designer schematics and 4-layer PCB layout for the main 'Brain' board featuring STM32G0B1RE, SPI FRAM, native USB, RS-485 transceiver, and dual LoRa/LTE-M modem interfaces.
