Case study overview
Project context and engineering direction
This project was initiated after Joel KABESYA contacted me for support on an energy-monitoring idea connected to a project he was developing in Likasi. The goal was to think through a realistic telemetry unit that could help review generator performance and load behavior without making the system overly complex.
The concept brought together sensing, data handling, and communications thinking so that a field device could capture useful operating information and make it available for technical review outside the installation point. The emphasis was on reliability, clarity of data, and the practical realities of remote monitoring.
The system direction covered how key measurements could be gathered, structured, and prepared for transmission, while still keeping the embedded platform lean enough for maintainable deployment. It was shaped for contexts where energy performance decisions need stronger evidence than occasional manual checks can provide.
Professionally, the project demonstrates how embedded telemetry can support smarter maintenance planning, more informed energy decisions, and better operational awareness in locations where infrastructure performance matters deeply.
