A subset of the entire solution scope can be conceptualized as a pilot!
Rather than a set of tools that may or may not be used, work toward a solution targeted to your specific business needs
Work with clients to understand unique requirements
Define the solution and architecture with client
Recommend hardware(if necessary)
Configuration and custom development (if necessary)
Rollout, training & ongoing services

- Identified sensors/existing SCADA infrastructurethat could be re-calibrated or aligned
- Identified options to use gateways or Querydata logging servers to capture additional datapoints
- Recommendation on Plants where String levelmonitoring was required & appropriate hardware
- Stage wise Implementation & Training Plan RollOut
