APPLICATION LIBRARY | AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT & MONITORING

Explore industrial monitoring and automation applications, ProSense project spotlights and manufacturer case studies. Find a relevant system concept and discuss your project requirements.

ProSense Solutions applications library

Start with the operational problem

A useful monitoring system connects a practical question to trustworthy measurements and a defined response. Use these application briefs to identify the points to monitor, the communications path and the people who will use the information. Each topic links to an equipment-selection companion on ProSense Instruments.

Explore application briefs

Cleanroom Pressure Monitoring with LEFOO

A room-pressure monitoring brief should identify the room, its reference area and the required pressure direction. Write the purpose of each point on a drawing before choosing instruments. A pressure reading by itself does not establish cleanliness or validate a controlled environment.

Irrigation Zone Water Balance and Flow Monitoring

A water-balance application compares the metered supply with measured zone use over the same time window. Start with a hydraulic layout: show storage, branches, bypasses and any unmetered users. Without that boundary, a difference between totals may be expected rather than evidence of a leak.

Hygienic Liquid Batch Measurement

A batch application begins with the liquid, the target quantity and the acceptable delivery tolerance. Map the vessel, pump, valves and measurement position. A flow total is one input to the task; valve closing time, liquid remaining in pipework and the repeatability of the transfer also influence the delivered quantity.

Water Detection Around Edge IT Cabinets

A small edge IT room can be affected by water arriving from an adjacent room, a cooling drain or a service route. Start by drawing plausible water pathways and the assets that could be affected. Place detection points around the risk being monitored, rather than assuming one sensor in the centre covers the whole space.

Acrel Hospital Switchgear Monitoring: Manufacturer Case

Condition monitoring can bring together different evidence about electrical assets. Temperature, partial-discharge indications and electrical measurements address different questions. The useful planning lesson is to map a measurement to a maintenance decision, rather than collect signals with no agreed interpretation.

Hot-Water Supply and Return Monitoring with Milesight

Supply and return temperatures can help an operator review a circulation system over time. Establish which loop is being monitored and where each reading will be taken. A difference between readings requires context such as flow, usage and operating schedule; it should not be interpreted as a diagnosis on its own.

ProSense project spotlights and manufacturer cases

The stories below distinguish ProSense enquiry or commissioning work from manufacturer-reported deployments and illustrative examples. Customer identities are withheld from the project spotlights. Project status is stated in each article; an order or quotation is not presented as proof of a completed installation or measured savings.

Scoping Multi-Site Acrel Circuit Monitoring

ProSense project spotlight | Scoping and quotation | Customer anonymised — A recent ProSense enquiry involved monitoring dozens of three-phase circuits across multiple sites. The proposed approach considered Acrel multi-circuit meters, matched current sensors and a cellular router connection. The work was at the specification and quotation stage when this spotlight was prepared.

Commissioning Rural Flow and Tank Monitoring

ProSense project spotlight | Supply and commissioning support | Customer anonymised — An ongoing rural water project has brought together flow measurement, tank-level sensing and Dragino connectivity. The customer's practical objective is to understand water use and recognise sustained flow that may warrant checking a trough, pipe or valve.

Defining Cold-Room History and Alarm Requirements

ProSense project spotlight | Dashboard and alarm setup requirements | Customer anonymised — After activating a supplied Dragino cellular temperature device, a customer asked for a clear current-temperature view, historical graphs and an alarm when the cold room became too warm. The room was used intermittently, which added an important question: how should monitoring behave when the equipment is intentionally switched off?

Monnit Door and Temperature Monitoring in Dairy Production

Manufacturer-reported case | Monnit | ProSense application commentary — Monnit documents a dairy manufacturer's use of wireless monitoring after a door-sealing problem contributed to temperature excursions. This is Monnit's reported customer example, not a ProSense installation.

Milesight Hotel BMS Modernisation in France

Manufacturer-reported case | Milesight and its project partners | ProSense application commentary — Milesight describes a LoRaWAN-based BMS upgrade at a 170-room Novotel in France, delivered with SCORP-IO and SPARWAN. The hotel needed centralised building management while remaining operational. This is a manufacturer and partner reference, not a ProSense-delivered project.

Two-Lane Production Counting with Coolmay PLC and HMI

Illustrative application | Coolmay PLC/HMI | Not a completed customer case — A production team may need separate totals for two lanes without replacing the entire line-control system. A PLC and HMI arrangement can be considered for that task, using suitable detection inputs and project-specific counting logic. This example explains the design questions; it does not describe a verified customer deployment.

Plan your next monitoring project

Send a brief description of the problem, a site or process sketch, the number of measurement points and the required trends or notifications. Include the power and network available at each location. ProSense can discuss an equipment and system scope, with installation, software and commissioning responsibilities agreed for the specific project.

How this application library is prepared

Publisher: ProSense Solutions. These guides are prepared with AI assistance from linked manufacturer materials and, where expressly identified, anonymised ProSense project correspondence. System-planning and equipment-selection guidance is separated across our two sites to serve different customer needs.

Manufacturer cases describe the manufacturer's reported work. ProSense project spotlights identify the stage supported by the records, such as enquiry, quotation or commissioning. Illustrative applications are labelled as examples. A product order alone is not evidence of an installed system, measured savings or customer endorsement.

Sources for the new manufacturer references were checked on 2 November 2026. Confirm current product specifications and project suitability before purchase. To request a correction or discuss the evidence behind a guide, contact sales@prosense.com.au or call 1800 560 854.

Manufacturer white papers and technical reading

Explore source-led guides from LEFOO, Madincos, Acrel and Monnit. We distinguish white papers, application guides and datasheets so that the source's purpose and age are clear. These are practical reading companions, not manufacturer endorsements of ProSense or claims of completed ProSense installations.

LEFOO — Manufacturer application guide

Pressure-switch application guidance on operating range, electrical interface and process connections. Publication date is not specified in the linked guide.

Madincos — Manufacturer-authored datasheet, distributor-hosted

A January 2019 manufacturer-authored MPR9000 datasheet hosted by a distributor. Use it as historical technical context and confirm the current model and software documentation before purchase.

Acrel — Manufacturer solution guide

A building energy-monitoring solution guide dated 4 December 2023, used here to inform measurement-boundary and circuit-schedule planning.

Monnit — Manufacturer white paper (2017)

A 2017 agriculture white paper. Our companion guide develops greenhouse monitoring questions and does not reuse its dated market forecasts.
