The interesting question is <em>how much</em> that watcher needs to think.</p> <p>We build monitoring for real equipment — a <strong>geothermal system</strong> (temperatures, on/off cycling, runtime) and <strong>automated reloading equipment</strong> (cycle counts, timing, consistency). Both start from the same simple place: a rule. If the loop temperature crosses a limit, or a machine stops cycling, raise an alert. Rules are cheap, transparent, and you should always have them. They catch the failures you already know how to name.</p>
