The Details

Intelligent Analytic Software for Monitoring & Reporting

anyCOMM live "in-person" monitoring

anyCOMM provides live monitoring of the data analytics from the nodes and peripherals. Certain events qualify as triggers, and staff will receive an alert that data needs to be reviewed. Once the triggers are verified and validated, data will be packaged and passed real-time to utility company staff or emergency first responders. anyCOMM staff monitors data from multiple nodes to help predict the impact of nearby areas that may be in the path of an emergency. Separately, new triggers can be added at any time in the future. One example could be a notification from the utility data center when there is a relay event that drops a transmission tower offline. The utility has the capability to automatically identify the transmission line and the distance away from the data center. anyCOMM AI software can use that notification to find the closest nodes and then retrieve video and audio files captured prior to the event occurrence to potentially determine the cause. This data again would be sent real-time to a utility company data center and support staff.

Smoke Trigger

In the case of a potential fire event, AI scans the images that are captured by the node cameras every minute, looking for the presence of smoke or fire. If detected, a trigger is created. Another trigger could be from the detection of high wind or low humidity coming from the weather stations.

Network Center Monitors

The anyCOMM staff monitors the health of all nodes, connected peripherals, the data network between the different facilities and the anyCOMM data center. Software, firmware and maintenance updates happen in real-time.

Transmission Tower Relay

Relays are a major cause of wildfires. anyCOMM has the capability to detect these events on nearby towers or poles. Recorded video from the hardware installed can "roll back" the video in time, before the relay happened, to help determine the cause and if necessary, get first responders on the way ASAP.

Transmission Tower Event Trigger

For 1/60 of a second, the air surrounding the relay ionizes for several hundred feet in all directions. anyCOMM has built detection of this phenomenon into AI routines of the wildfire detection system.

anyCOMM hardware is installed high on towers & distribution poles to observe the best vantage points and report data to the backend.
