Test the functionality of DataPortal SCADA at no cost. Modern data visualisation and monitoring at your fingertips

Many managers and engineers still face the same problem: how to quickly and inexpensively launch a data visualisation and monitoring system? Traditional solutions require the purchase of SCADA licences, implementations, servers and the entire IT infrastructure. This means high costs and long waiting times for results.

DataPortal solves this problem in a simple way. It is a cloud platform that does not require the installation of local servers or specialised software. All you need is an Inventia telemetry device, a SIM card and a DataPortal account. The rest happens in your browser – data is collected, archived and presented in a clear form. Importantly, every user can start testing the system completely free of charge. To get you started, we give you 90 inPoints when you register your account, which you can use for up to 3 months!

 

Easy start without barriers

Imagine ordering a telemetry device, inserting a SIM card into it, and then logging into your DataPortal account. All you need to do is enter the serial number and IMEI for the module to be recognised by the system. From that moment on, you have remote access to measurements from your facilities, and you can create visualisations and set alarms.

You don’t need to be an IT specialist or an automation engineer with years of experience. Thanks to the intuitive interface, you can create your first visualisation in just one day. In Designer, you can use ready-made graphics or design your own data display screen – e.g. a pumping station diagram, water consumption chart or PV installation operation diagram.

Support and training – at your fingertips

Although DataPortal has been designed to be quick and easy to get started with, no one is left on their own. If the situation requires additional help, you can count on technical support from Inventia’s specialists. Training, documentation and educational materials are also available to guide you step by step through the system configuration. This ensures that even the most demanding project will be a success.

What makes DataPortal stand out?

It is not “just another cloud platform”. DataPortal was created with the practical needs of users in mind and for integration with Inventia’s telemetry devices, which have been widely available around the world in various applications for almost 25 years.

  • The security and convenience of the cloud – forget about installing additional servers. Everything works online and is accessible from anywhere.
  • Integration with Inventia devices – all you need is the serial number and IMEI of the telemetry module to start the system.
  • Transparent visualisations – you can design your own screens or use ready-made graphics. Present data the way you want: in charts, diagrams or animations.
  • Real-time notifications – SMS or email will immediately inform you when set alarm thresholds are exceeded, so no undesirable situation will escape your attention.
  • Scalability – the system grows with your needs. Start with a single module, then expand to dozens of objects and hundreds of measurements that you will manage from your office.

 In practice, this means that you have full control over your facilities – without investing in expensive infrastructure.

How to get started with DataPortal?

Getting started is really easy and does not require advanced knowledge:

1.  Purchase an Inventia telemetry device – if you do not already have one, you can order it directly from Inventia or from an authorised Partner.

2. Prepare a SIM card – the module requires active data transmission. Importantly, transmission can be carried out using SIM cards from Inventia’s offer with Orange, PLUS and T-Mobile operators, but this is not a requirement. DataPortal also works with “foreign” SIM cards and receives data sent from the Internet.

3. Create a free account on DataPortal – go to dataportal.online
Remember, you have 90 inPoints to test the system!

4. Add a device– enter the serial number and IMEI to link it to your account.

5. Build your first visualisation – in Designer, you can create a screen to display data. You can start with ready-made graphics or build your own design from scratch.

6. Configure notifications – set alarms and select SMS/email notifications to stay up to date.

At this stage, you already have a working monitoring and visualisation system. And if you want, you can further develop it with additional objects and reports.

Where can DataPortal be used in practice?

DataPortal is a universal solution. It works well in both simple installations and large industrial systems. Together with our users, we have implemented, among others:

  • monitoring of water pumping stations and sewage pumping stations,
  • visualisation of energy generation in wind and photovoltaic farms,
  • predictive monitoring of electrical switchgear with SMS/e-mail notifications,
  • control of power generators in emergency power supply systems,
  • monitoring of surface and groundwater levels,
  • reporting water consumption based on remote meter readings,
  • leak notification systems in heating installations,
  • pressure control in water mains and reservoirs,
  • monitoring of water treatment plants and sewage treatment plants,
  • and even monitoring of mushroom cultivation parameters.

 

Such a wide range of applications shows that DataPortal is not just a tool for getting started. It is a system that can grow with your needs from simple implementation to global projects.

Why DP is it worth trying?

  • there are no start-up costs – you can test the functionalities without risk,
  • it is the perfect complement to Inventia devices – it works immediately after adding the module,
  • it is a secure cloud solution – available anytime, anywhere,
  • it is a flexible system that you start with simple visualisations and develop into large industrial projects.

DataPortal in numbers

Trust in the platform is confirmed by real data:

  • 30,000+ tags – recorded and analysed every day.
  • 1000+ users – companies and institutions use it every day to monitor their processes.
  • 600+ projects – completed in various industries, from water and sewage to energy and manufacturing.
  • 2,500+ visualisation screens – created in the system for data and report presentation.
  • 1,200+ data sources – supported and archived in the cloud.
  • 61,000+ telemetric devices connected to the platform.

These figures show that DataPorta l is a proven, stable and constantly evolving tool that can be implemented in both small installations and large industrial systems.

Don't wait!

Order the Inventia telemetry module today and create your first data visualisation in DataPortal. Thanks to SMS and email notifications, you will always be one step ahead of the problem.

Sewage pumping station monitoring – a practical case study

One of our clients was a water supply company managing several sewage pumping stations scattered across a large area. Until now, operators had to travel to the facilities to check the operating parameters of the pumps or the level of sewage in the tank. There was also no efficient fault notification system – faults were only detected when the consequences were already serious.

The solution was to implement Inventia telemetry modules together with the DataPortal platform. In just a few days, it was possible to:

  • launch remote monitoring of all pumping stations on the installed modules,
  • create visualisations showing the liquid level and pump status,
  • configure SMS notifications for operators on duty,
  • build automatic reports on energy consumption and pump operating time.

 

The result? The company has significantly reduced the number of service calls, anticipates possible emergencies thanks to notifications, and, as a result, responds more quickly to events that deviate from the norm. Importantly, the operating costs of the facilities have decreased significantly. The entire implementation did not require investment in servers or expensive IT infrastructure – all that was needed were telemetry devices and an account at DataPortal.
