Pipeline Monitoring System

Gain real-time visibility across every mile of your pipeline. Primate unifies SCADA, GMS, sensors, weather, and security data into one live operational view so operators can detect anomalies faster, act with confidence, and maintain complete situational awareness.

From Weeks to Hours: $150K Saved Every Year

Primate’s Network Model lets operators complete grid updates in 4 hours instead of 80, cutting dependency on engineers, eliminating backlogs, and typically saving over $150,000 per year in labor costs.

Real-Time Monitoring vs $6.7B Blackout

During the 2003 Northeast blackout, alarm failures left operators blind for over 90 minutes.Primate’s real-time EMS health monitoring would have caught the failure instantly, preventing cascading outages and billions in economic losses.

Preventing $1M-a-Day Penalties

NERC violations for missed contingencies can cost utilities millions daily. Primate continuously monitors data quality and system limits, instantly flagging potential breaches to help keep operations compliant and penalty-free.

One Visualization. $100M in Mission Costs Saved

A detected anomaly nearly grounded a million-dollar launch. Primate’s visualization revealed it was outside the critical zone, preventing an unnecessary cancellation and saving hundreds of millions in wasted preparation.

Turning $1.7M Outages Into Minutes of Downtime

Average grid outages last 5.8 hours and cost $1.7M in downtime and penalties. Primate’s fault detection helps operators isolate and resolve issues fast, often restoring power in minutes instead of hours.

Stopping $300K-an-Hour Downtime Before It Starts

Each hour of downtime costs electric utilities around $300K. Primate’s continuous visualization spots anomalies before they escalate, keeping systems online, reliable, and efficient around the clock.

Why Pipeline Monitoring Is Hard Today

Most pipeline control rooms rely on systems that do not communicate cleanly. SCADA shows pressure and flow, GIS shows alignment sheets, weather feeds live elsewhere, field telemetry comes through a different channel, leak detection alarms appear in vendor portals, and nothing shares context.

The result is slow detection, missed correlations, and operators who spend their shifts looking for signals instead of understanding them.

Primate solves this by aggregating, validating, analyzing, and visualizing pipeline data in one consistent operational view.

One Platform = Every Data Source

Primate’s visualization and data integration stack consolidates SCADA, GMS, leak detection systems, sensors, GIS, weather, field telemetry, enterprise applications, and security data into a single operational interface. Operators get a live, constantly updated view of system conditions, supported by intelligent analytics and crystal-clear visuals at any scale.

Top Operational Use Cases

Pipeline monitoring demands fast interpretation of many changing conditions. With Primate, operators gain clearer awareness and faster decision support across every part of the network. With it, you can:

Real-time monitoring of physical security and cyber threats

Visualize leak indicators with pressure, flow, environmental, and weather context.

Integrated safety monitoring including man-down alerts and crew safety status

Track system conditions, pump performance, valve positions, and anomalies.

Automatic data quality validation and system health checks

Display activity, construction zones, alerts, weather events, and crew proximity.

Seamless integration of field device communications and monitoring

Centralize pump health, temperature, alarms, and trends to diagnose early.

Seamless integration of field device communications and monitoring

Support rapid isolation with real-time valve states, shutdown visualization, crew locations, and environmental overlays.

Complete Operational Context

By linking field telemetry, maintenance systems, and historian data, Primate gives operators immediate context behind every reading. Live sensor data shows what is happening, maintenance records show why equipment might behave differently, and both feed directly into a single operational view.

Historian data strengthens this picture by revealing patterns that are easy to miss in real time. Operators can compare current conditions to past trends, identify early warning signs, and replay events to understand how anomalies developed. Together, these sources create a complete, reliable snapshot of pipeline health.
