Questions any quality manager 
Should ask

  • Question: Are you aware of the statistical limits of your quality sensors? Hint: Statistical limits represent the upper and lower bounds encompassing 95% of the sensor's operating range.
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS automatically learns and defines each sensor's statistical limits.
  • Question: How often do your quality sensors report a violation of these statistical limits?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS triggers an alarm when the duration of violations exceeds typical historical patterns.
  • Question: Do you track the maximum change in sensor values over a 5-minute interval? Would you like to be alerted to abnormal changes?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS monitors the maximum sensor value changes within predefined time windows and offers automatic configuration for relevant alarms.
  • Question: How often do your sensors report a fixed value for over 30 minutes? Do you think receiving a notification when this happens for an entire day would be important?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS learns the normal duration for fixed values for each sensor and sends alerts when unusual patterns occur.
  • Question: Water pressure tends to be lowest between 2 AM and 4 AM. In the case of pipe cracks, the average pressure measurement may gradually shift over time. Would this information be valuable to you?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS monitors daily pressure patterns and alerts you when significant changes are detected.
  • Question: Optical sensors, like those measuring turbidity, tend to show increasing values over time due to dirt accumulation. Would it be helpful to receive maintenance alerts before this becomes an issue?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS tracks sensor trends and alerts when required maintenance is required.
  • Question: Do you know which combinations of sensor readings are rare but acceptable, and which suggest potential problems?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS generates heat maps of common and rare sensor combinations, alerting you when unusual and potentially problematic patterns occur.
  • Question: Would detecting communication issues be beneficial, especially for water networks transmitting data via cellular connections, which may drop occasionally?
    MicroEDS Answer: In case cellular communication is used, the MicroEDS detects a sudden drop of all signals to zero and classifies it as a communication problem.
  • Question: Maintenance activities often produce recognizable patterns in sensor data, which can trigger false alarms.
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS learns these maintenance patterns and suppresses irrelevant alarms.
  • Question: AI technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Would you like your monitoring system to consult AI engines for deeper insights into changes in your water network?
    MicroEDS Answer: MicroEDS can leverage AI engines to provide more advanced insights into measurement patterns and potential issues.
