Fieldmouse connects your pumps, motors, and critical infrastructure to a real-time monitoring platform — so fault events are detected instantly, not hours or days later when damage has already occurred or a service has failed.
The Challenge
Council and venue assets — pumps, motors, compressors, lift stations, and other critical equipment — are typically managed reactively. Without real-time status visibility, faults are only discovered when equipment has already failed, when someone complains about a service outage, or when the consequences of failure have escalated into a larger problem.
Remote assets at parks, reserves, and distributed infrastructure sites are particularly vulnerable. A pump failing at an unmanned site may run dry, overheat, or cause downstream flooding for hours before anyone is aware. Emergency call-outs outside business hours, expedited part sourcing, and damage remediation all cost significantly more than proactive detection would have.
Without operational history data, maintenance decisions are based on scheduled intervals rather than actual runtime and condition — leading to either premature servicing or missed failures.
"Fieldmouse proactively actions the asset — as opposed to just monitoring and providing alerts."
How Fieldmouse Helps
Fieldmouse connects directly to asset run/fault signals, power inputs, and analog sensors — giving operators a live view of every monitored asset from a single dashboard.
Monitor run/stop status, fault signals, and operational inputs for pumps, motors, and equipment in real time. See the current state of every asset across every site from a single dashboard view.
When a fault signal is detected — motor overload, dry run, high temperature, or unexpected stop — an alert fires immediately via SMS or email. Your maintenance team is notified before the problem escalates.
Automatically log total runtime hours, daily cycle counts, and on/off patterns for each asset. Use actual operational data — not calendar intervals — to schedule maintenance and predict end-of-life.
Connect analog sensors to monitor temperature, vibration, pressure, or current draw alongside run/fault status. Early deviation from normal ranges flags developing issues before they cause failure.
Where active control is required, Runner relay outputs allow remote reset, start/stop control, and automated responses to fault conditions — without requiring a site visit for common correctable events.
Every status change, fault event, and alert is timestamped and stored. Generate operational history reports for insurance, maintenance audits, and regulatory compliance at any time.

Key Outcomes
Indicative results based on typical deployments. Your results will vary by asset type, site count, and existing maintenance practices.
Catching faults early and scheduling maintenance based on actual runtime data eliminates emergency call-outs, expedited parts, and the cascading damage that comes with undetected failure.
Real-time alerts mean maintenance teams are notified the moment a fault occurs — not hours later when damage has escalated or services have failed entirely.
Full operational history and fault records available on demand for insurance claims, regulatory requirements, and maintenance audit documentation.
Fieldmouse Devices
Asset monitoring deployments use Scout for sensing and status input, with Runner added where remote control of relay outputs is required alongside monitoring.
Scout
by Fieldmouse
Primary monitoring device — reads run/fault digital inputs, analog condition sensors, and transmits continuous status data to the platform.
Runner
by Fieldmouse
Optional add-on — provides relay control outputs for remote start, stop, and reset operations alongside the Scout monitoring capability.
