What we do
We work for the organisations that own, build and run environmental and geotechnical monitoring networks. We design systems to meet requirements set by the engineer of record, a licence, a regulation or the operation. We manage equipment purchase and delivery, oversee installation and commission each system. We run the monitoring program from the sensor to the decision maker. We work with any field device, new or in place, and with any logger or platform. We choose equipment on technical merit against the stated requirement. We take no commission from equipment makers.
InstraData, our real-time monitoring software built on SAFER, receives and checks telemetry data from any field device, new or in place. It runs on the organisation's servers or in the cloud.
We have installed, managed, upgraded and repaired real-time monitoring systems across Australia, and we work anywhere in Australia.

| InstraData hosting | What it doesInstrumenta runs InstraData on AWS in Australia, in data centres certified to ISO 27001. Hosting includes backups, updates and support. |
| InstraData | What it doesReal-time monitoring software built on SAFER, for any field device, new or in place. |
The SAFER framework
The weakest link between the sensor and the decision maker determines how well a monitoring program works. A fault at one stage affects every later stage, and those stages cannot detect it. The program works only when all five stages work at once.
