WBTMS software · Busbar monitoring dashboard

See every busbar joint. Act before it fails.

The Amptronics WBTMS dashboard turns readings from your wireless busbar sensors into live heatmaps, phase comparisons, trends, auditable alarms and prioritised maintenance findings, all in one place.

Why a dashboard matters

Sensors collect the data. The dashboard makes it useful.

Hundreds of temperature readings a minute are only valuable if the right person can see what they mean, quickly. That’s the job of the dashboard.

From snapshots to continuous visibility

Periodic thermography catches a joint on one day. The dashboard watches every joint all the time, including nights and peak loads.

Context, not just numbers

Thresholds, rise above ambient, phase comparison and rate of change separate a loaded joint from a failing one.

Clear priorities

Ranked findings and an alarm centre tell teams what to inspect first, with no need to sift through raw readings.

Proof for audits

An auditable alarm trail and ready-made reports document asset condition for management, insurers and safety reviews.

Inside the dashboard

Eight modules, one workflow

From the plant-wide overview down to a single joint, then on to maintenance and reporting. Click any screenshot to enlarge it.

01 · Monitoring overview

Your whole installation on one screen

The overview shows every switchgear panel, sensor and alarm at a glance. A facility heatmap colours each measurement point by how close it is to its warning threshold, and a "hottest points" list ranks connections by their margin to warning.

  • Panel, sensor, online/offline and healthy-point counts
  • Facility temperature heatmap, one cell per measurement point
  • Hottest points ranked by margin to warning, with ΔT above ambient
  • Latest open alarms with a link to the alarm centre
  • Switchgear panel overview: every point by compartment and phase A/B/C/N
Why it matters: You see in seconds whether everything is healthy, and exactly where to look first if it isn’t.
02 · Live monitoring

Real-time detail for every joint

Pick any panel and measurement point to see its live temperature on a gauge with warning and critical bands, plus the last 30 minutes of readings, sensor signal, battery and data quality.

  • Live gauge with warning (W) and critical (C) marks
  • Rise above ambient (ΔT) and rate of change, with alert on fast rise
  • Signal strength, battery level and data quality per sensor
  • Configured thresholds and any open alarm on that point
Why it matters: A temperature on its own can mislead. Showing ΔT and rate of rise alongside it tells you whether a joint is simply loaded or genuinely deteriorating.
03 · Switchgear panels

Compare phases A, B and C side by side

Choose a panel and compartment to compare the hottest point on each phase, with 1-hour, 24-hour or 7-day maxima. A phase deviation indicator flags points where the spread between phases is unusually large.

  • Hottest point per phase with status and 24-hour maximum
  • Highest temperature and largest rise above ambient
  • Phase deviation indicator for spreads of 8 °C or more
  • A/B/C bar chart by measurement point against the warning line
Why it matters: Three phases carrying similar load should run at similar temperatures. A phase that runs hotter than its neighbours is often the earliest sign of a problem connection.
05 · Alarm management

An auditable alarm lifecycle

Every alarm, whether over-temperature, rapid rise, sensor offline or sensor fault, is tracked from trigger to closure. Alarms are never cleared silently: each one must be acknowledged and investigated, and the history can be exported to CSV.

  • Open alarm counts by severity: critical, warning, advisory, offline, fault
  • Filter by open, unacknowledged or closed, and by panel
  • Status per alarm: active, under investigation, condition cleared
  • Export alarm history to CSV
Why it matters: A full alarm trail shows that every event was seen and acted on, which matters for safety audits, insurers and root-cause reviews.
06 · Sensors & devices

Commissioning and communication health

See every wireless receiver and sensor in the installation, which panel and phase each is mounted on, and how well it’s communicating, from link quality and battery to firmware and commissioning date.

  • Receivers with online sensor counts and firmware version
  • Filter sensors by online, delayed, offline, fault or uncommissioned
  • Latest reading, last communication, link and battery per sensor
  • Register and commission new sensors
Why it matters: Monitoring is only as good as its sensors. Spotting a weak link or low battery early means you never lose sight of a critical joint.
07 · Predictive maintenance

Findings ranked by inspection priority

The dashboard analyses temperature behaviour, such as deviation from comparable points, rapid increases and repeated warnings, and ranks findings as urgent, high, medium or low. Each finding lists its supporting evidence and possible causes to check during inspection.

  • Findings ranked urgent / high / medium / low
  • Evidence: current reading, trend duration, deviation vs other phases, rate of rise
  • Possible causes listed as hypotheses to verify on site
  • Recommended action under the site’s safe-work procedure
Why it matters: Maintenance teams get a ranked to-do list instead of a wall of numbers, so effort goes to the connections that need it most.
08 · Reports & export

Reports for maintenance, management and audits

Generate daily, weekly or monthly reports for any site, panel, phase or sensor, then export to CSV or print and save as PDF.

  • Temperature summary and maximum temperature by panel
  • Temperature-rise comparison and alarm events by severity
  • Sensor communication availability and maintenance activities
  • Unacknowledged alarms report
Why it matters: Ready-made reports save hours of spreadsheet work and give management a clear record of asset condition over time.
Built for every team

One source of truth, three ways to use it

Maintenance engineers

Live detail, phase comparison and ranked findings show exactly which joint to inspect and what evidence points to the problem.

Operations & control room

The overview, heatmap and alarm centre give shift teams instant awareness of every panel and a clear process for each alarm.

Plant & asset managers

Trends and scheduled reports show asset condition over time and support maintenance planning and budget decisions.

How it connects

From sensor to screen

Wireless sensors

BBS350BT, BBS350CT, WRHTC and WM2THC measure each joint and panel.

Receivers

BBC969-485RC and BBC969-27C collect readings in each panel.

Gateway

The AMP-IoTG 4G gateway sends data securely to the dashboard.

WBTMS dashboard

Heatmaps, trends, alarms, findings and reports for your whole site.

The WBTMS dashboard is a condition-monitoring tool. Its thresholds and alarms support inspection and maintenance decisions. It does not trip breakers or replace certified protection relays.
