Small water districts and utilities shouldn't need a $200k monitoring deployment to know what their systems are doing. Bits of the Machine gives you local monitoring that runs on your hardware, speaks to your existing equipment, and keeps working when your internet doesn't.
Talk to Us →Enterprise monitoring software is priced for large utilities. Small districts get nothing, or get a subscription they can barely afford that goes dark the moment connectivity fails — exactly when you need it most. During a wildfire, when cellular networks saturate and internet infrastructure goes down, cloud-dependent monitoring disappears. The system keeps running. You stop seeing it.
Aegis Box hardware at your facility monitors your systems continuously — pressure, flow, pump cycles, threshold violations. Network outage doesn't interrupt monitoring. Fire season doesn't blind you.
Connects to the Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Modbus, and DNP3 hardware already in your field. No new equipment required for most standard deployments. The infrastructure you have, finally visible.
Local AI flags pressure drops, flow anomalies, and pump irregularities in real time — on your hardware, without sending operational data to an outside server.
Full audit trail of system state, alarm history, and operator actions. Structured for the inspection that comes after an incident — not assembled manually after the fact.
Structured data export for SWRCB and Cal/EPA requirements. Reduces the manual burden on staff who are currently building these reports in spreadsheets.
Connects to Amber Monitor during declared emergencies — utility system status feeding into the broader situational awareness picture for your EOC.
Sonoma, Napa, Marin, and Lake County utilities particularly relevant given the wildfire and geothermal context.
