MetaPulse - Field Telemetry & Dispatching Platform
Field telemetry, alarm management, and operational reporting for gas distribution networks
Telemetry, SCADA, IoT, Gas Networks, Monitoring, Dispatching
Overview
MetaPulse centralizes telemetry from field metering devices and gives dispatchers a live view of pressure, temperature, flow, connection status, alarms, and reporting workflows. It is designed for gas distribution teams that need reliable device monitoring, event escalation, reconciliation, and operational traceability.
Key Features
- Field Device Monitoring
- Multi-protocol Acquisition
- Automated Alarm Routing
- Flow Reconciliation
- Operator Web Application
- Audit & Security
Challenge
Distribution operators often manage field devices through fragmented channels, manual spreadsheets, and operator calls. Delayed alarms, manual reconciliation, and scattered device records make it harder to detect issues quickly and document operations consistently.
Solution
MetaEnergy built a four-layer platform covering field data acquisition, central storage, processing services, and an operator web application. The platform supports device communication, alarm detection, secure API integration, flow reconciliation, billing-data synchronization, and audit logging.
Impact & Results
- In the reference configuration, the platform monitors 300+ field devices with 10-second polling intervals. Automated alarm routing can reduce notification time from hours to seconds, while unified dashboards reduce manual handover and reporting effort.

Real-Time Operations & Control
Live operational environments for dispatching, monitoring, alarms, and control-room workflows
We build operator-facing systems that bring telemetry, alarms, device state, reports, and actions into one workspace. These systems help dispatchers and supervisors move from fragmented screens and manual calls to live operational visibility.
What we deliver
- Dispatcher workspaces
- SCADA visualization layers
- Live telemetry dashboards
- Alarm routing and escalation workflows
- Operator action logs
- Shift handover and reporting views
Use this service when
- Operators rely on disconnected SCADA screens, spreadsheets, or phone calls
- Alarm history is difficult to reconstruct
- Supervisors need a consistent view of live network state
- Dispatching, reporting, and device records are not connected
