The decision to make remote monitoring of water systems Ellab’s core business was taken in the second half of the 1970s. At that time, we established the first wireless connection between two water supply facilities in Slovenia. An engineering-led company has never been satisfied with mediocre solutions taken from industry. Industry has diametrically opposite requirements to telemetry: a demanding centralised process, excellent energy supply, extremely fast communications, centralised process control. A remote monitoring system typically comprises a multitude of interacting facilities across several municipalities. Facilities operate in a harsh environment, there is no power supply, there is no communication infrastructure… On the other hand, the administrator wants to be able to access the system anywhere and at any time. And not just one…

That’s why we have developed basic guidelines that we follow in all our solutions:

• The systems are exclusively designed according to global standards (telemetry equipment, communication protocols, alarm system, etc.);

• Using the world-renowned DNP3.0 (DistributedNetworkProtocolv3.0) telemetry protocol allows us to operate in real time with minimal data consumption. Our systems are equally responsive, regardless of size;

• Management at all levels – facility, field, office, home, etc. – eliminates costly 24-hour on-call services. Even the largest systems operate on a duty-at-home basis;

• Backed by 50 years of tradition, we are actively involved in the design of each project and advise our customers both in the field of automation and in the selection of the associated measuring equipment;

• We carry out projects from start to finish in our own electrical and mechanical workshops. So products are carefully inspected and tested before they go into the field;

• In the long term, the real value of the system comes from the professional maintenance and continuity of the contractor;

• Choosing Ellab is a safe decision.
