Studios
Monitoring Studio is GUL’s data management, analytics and visualisation platform for guided wave monitoring systems. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the gPIMS® system Monitoring Studio brings sensor data, asset information, monitoring results and supporting documentation together in one accessible workspace. Its analytical tools transform complex guided wave data into clear information that supports condition assessment and informed maintenance decisions.Monitoring Studio is available as either a GUL-hosted cloud service or a customer-hosted Local Node, allowing organisations to select the deployment model that best meets their operational, security and data-governance requirements.

The cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version provides authorized users convenient browser-based access to the Monitoring Studio Cloud . A user’s access can be controlled to serve up monitoring information from individual sensors, structures, sites, or organizational divisions.
GUL manages the SaaS, which is hosted on reputable platforms such as Microsoft Azure, allowing customers to use the Monitoring Studio without maintaining a dedicated on-premises server.
The Local Monitoring Studio is installed on a dedicated server on the customer’s premises.
All monitoring data is stored within the customer’s local environment, giving the organisation direct control over its data, infrastructure, access policies, backup arrangements and retention requirements.
Authorized users can access the Local Monitoring Studio through a standard web browser in the same way as for the cloud-based version, without the need for dedicated software to be installed on individual users’ computers.
Easily find individual sensors on a map or navigate to sensor data by selecting individual sites and structures
A key function of the data management service, it is designed to provide a historical record of events for the asset being monitored. Download data files from here, log events or upload reports, images, drawings and any other related information about the asset. You can also get notified each time a data file is uploaded.
Shows temperature compensated wall thickness data locally at the sensor position, covering the entire circumference of the pipe. Corrosion rates can be evaluated manually or, for automated systems, calculated automatically.
Available for automated systems, it features a trend map for easy identification of changes in large area monitoring data over time. Highlight and log changes that need tracking over time.
Have all the information in one place, including temperature of the pipe at the sensor location, battery status displays. Custom wall thickness and area monitoring thresholds can be defined for each sensor.
The Monitoring Studio is available in three service packages with increasing functionality:
a pay as you go style package suitable for repeat inspection and scheduled monitoring applications. Pay only for the files you want processed, while taking advantage of free hosting of the data and files you upload in the timeline.
an annual subscription suitable for scheduled monitoring applications or as a cost-effective solution for automated monitoring applications where Large area monitoring analytics is not required.
an annual subscription for automated monitoring applications. Our most powerful package featuring full automation.
The Monitoring Studio local come with one license
The Local Monitoring Studio is provided with an Advanced service package as standard.
