IoT-Enabled HA Telemetry for Gas Pipelines
Transporting natural gas is a mission-critical operation. Pipelines run through remote, rugged terrain where constant oversight is difficult — and the stakes are high. Any failure can mean safety risks, regulatory fines, or environmental damage.
Instead of dispatching teams for routine checks or reacting after something went wrong, Honeywell aimed for a live, automated view of gas flow across the entire network, capable of acting the moment an anomaly appeared. To achieve that, they needed a platform that combined IoT telemetry, industrial resilience, and high availability — built to run for years, in places humans rarely reach, without losing a single second of visibility.

The Challenge
Honeywell needed a way to continuously monitor gas pipelines in remote, inaccessible locations. Manual oversight was impractical. The company required a solution that was highly available, could process large volumes of telemetry data, be reliable, and require minimal maintenance, all while meeting safety and regulatory compliance.
Key goals
Real-Time Monitoring: Ensure continuous, real time tracking of natural gas flow metrics for safety and efficiency.
High Availability: Deliver a 99.9% uptime system with auto-healing and redundancy to prevent disruptions.
Scalability: Handle high-density telemetry data with scalable infrastructure and long-term data retention.
Low Maintenance: Provide a self-sustaining solution with automated updates for remote, inaccessible locations.
The Solution
A Resilient Telemetry System
Working in close collaboration with the Honeywell team, Adanto Software designed and delivered an IoT-enabled high-availability telemetry solution to monitor and manage natural gas pipelines in remote and challenging terrains. The system provided safe, reliable, and efficient operations with minimal manual intervention.
Key Features Delivered:
High-Availability Clusters: Designed for 99.9% uptime, ensuring continuous monitoring and operational reliability.
IoT-Enabled Sensors and Systems: Integrated real-time data collection and processing of over 1,000 telemetry data samples per second.
Robust Infrastructure: The system leveraged IBM Power servers, Oracle RAC databases, and industrial-grade networking equipment for scalability and performance.
Automation and Resilience: Implemented auto-healing features for system updates, firmware upgrades, and software patches with minimal maintenance.
Secure Data Retention: Ensured long-term storage of telemetry data (6 months for raw data, 3 years for reporting) and rapid recovery capabilities.
Don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what our clients have to say about working with us and the results we’ve delivered.
