Overview
MetaFlow is an operations platform for pipeline teams managing gas, liquid, and multi-fluid networks. It combines live telemetry, SCADA visualization, alarm workflows, hydraulic analysis, transient simulation, and role-based dispatching in one operator workspace. The platform supports multi-organization use, isolated demo environments, engineering-grade model analysis, and secure access control for dispatchers, engineers, and administrators.
Key Features
- Real-time Telemetry & SCADA Visualization
- Dispatcher Workspace
- Hydraulic Solver Engine
- Scenario & Report Management
- Multi-organization Access Control
Challenge
Pipeline operators often work across separate monitoring screens, engineering tools, and reporting processes. That fragmentation slows alarm triage, makes it difficult to connect simulations with live network data, and creates inconsistent handover between shifts. → Monitor distributed infrastructure in real time → Run hydraulic analysis using operational data → Manage alarms, events, and dispatcher actions consistently → Produce traceable reports for engineering and operational review
Solution
MetaEnergy developed MetaFlow with a Java/Spring Boot backend, PostgreSQL/PostGIS data layer, React/TypeScript operator interface, and a hybrid C++/Java hydraulic solver exposed through gRPC. The platform streams telemetry through WebSocket services, supports steady-state and transient hydraulic models, and provides operator screens with alarm history, audit trails, concurrency controls, and role-based access.
Impact & Results
- ✓ Unified operational visibility
- Live telemetry, network status, and alarms in a single control-room view
- ✓ Faster alarm investigation
- Searchable history, clear event context, and configurable notification workflows
- ✓ Repeatable hydraulic studies
- Scenario comparison, run history, and PDF reports from the same network model
- ✓ Safer concurrent dispatching
- Role-based actions, auditability, and conflict-aware editing for multi-user teams
