Water, air, noise and weather monitoring for mining and field operations in the Puna. Development and support from Salta, with sensors and connectivity selected for each site. We start with a technical assessment and a custom prototype.
Altitude, available power and connectivity shape every measurement. We design around these conditions, with local storage to retain records when the link goes down.
In-house development. Support from Salta. Data you can access and export.
Water, dust, noise and weather at the measurement point.
In-house electronics and firmware. Solar power and battery storage.
LoRa, cellular or satellite, depending on site conditions.
Real-time data, configurable thresholds and reports.
Site-specific solar stations that measure and transmit data to a dashboard with alerts. We start with a custom prototype and a single-point trial.
Environmental noise and acoustics, grounding and power quality. The scope, applicable criteria and documentation are defined for each assignment.
Topographic surveys, stockpile volumes and infrastructure inspections.
Long-range, low-power radio to a dedicated gateway. The gateway's internet connection is selected for the site.
Where coverage is available, it offers a simple, direct connection to the cloud.
An option where other networks are unavailable, subject to service availability, power requirements and operating costs.
Download records in open formats (CSV) and receive periodic reports for your documentation.
A technical contact who understands the design and can plan maintenance and site visits.
Sensors, power and connectivity are sized for the measured variable, terrain and sampling interval.
Local backup, access to records and open-format exports so you can work with your information.
We establish what needs measuring, where and to which requirements.
Connectivity, power and sensor options for your site, with a written scope, timeline and cost.
A single measurement point installed and tested in real conditions, against agreed acceptance criteria.
If the trial meets the criteria, the system can expand to include a dashboard, alerts and maintenance within the agreed scope.
Client work, open-source projects and prototypes in development.
I developed a substantial part of the firmware for an STM32 audio-sensing pipeline and built hardware test prototypes during a two-month project for an overseas company.
An STM32H743 audio pipeline with 32 output and 2 input channels using circular DMA. Acoustic signal processing on a microcontroller.
A platform based on ESP32-S3 and an SX1262 radio for Argentina's AU915 band: point-to-point LoRa and LoRaWAN, a LoRa-to-MQTT bridge, low-power operation (around 20 µA in standby according to the manufacturer; independent measurement pending) and a custom monitoring dashboard.
An ESP32-based sound dome. An open-source project exploring audio systems and embedded control.
LoRa, cellular or satellite: range calculations, line of sight, Fresnel clearance and high-altitude solar power, with the calculations explained.
Occupational and environmental noise, background correction, wind-affected measurements and conditions at 4,000 meters. With the equations explained.
I am a Sound Engineer (UNTREF). Since 2012, I have worked with embedded systems and drones: STM32 and ESP32 hardware and firmware, real-time audio processing and long-range telemetry. I am a certified UAV pilot, have training in IRAM/IEC electrical certification, and have developed firmware and hardware prototypes for an overseas client. Based in Salta, I focus on measurement challenges in demanding locations.
Every site has its own conditions. These are the first questions we discuss.
Apacheta Sistemas develops remote environmental monitoring solutions, technical measurements and drone surveys. Based in Salta, it serves operations in Salta, Jujuy and Catamarca, focusing on mining and remote Puna locations.
A station can be designed with solar power, a battery and local storage. Connectivity may use LoRa to a gateway or a satellite connection, depending on the terrain, available power and technical feasibility. Each site requires an assessment first.
The configuration may include water level and quality parameters, particulate matter, noise and weather. Sensors, ranges, calibration and sampling intervals are selected for the project's objectives and requirements.
The design includes local storage to retain records and synchronize them when connectivity returns. Backup capacity and power autonomy are sized for each installation.
Continuous monitoring and a measurement with a technical report may have different scopes. Requirements, instrumentation and applicable professional authorizations are reviewed before quoting to define the appropriate deliverables.
Start by sharing the location, variables and objectives. Following the assessment, we propose a configuration, installation scope and monitoring and maintenance plan. One-off measurements and surveys can also be discussed.
Tell us where your operation is, what you need to measure and which challenge you want to solve. We will arrange a conversation to define the scope and next step.
