§ 00 · THE OPERATING LOOP

From soil probe to boardroom KPI in ninety seconds.

Build and Rent Flow Technologies is a closed loop between the physical world and the people who steward it. Sensors emit, edge gateways buffer, models decide, and the front line acts — continuously, with receipts.

§ 01 · THE LOOP

Six moves. One rhythm.

the loop~90s cycleSENSEProbes emitSTREAMMQTT → edgeSTORETime-series DBMODELAnomaly + forecastDECIDERules engineACTAlerts + actuators
SENSE
Probes and cameras emit raw physical measurements at rates from 1Hz to 15min.
STREAM
Edge gateways buffer, compress, and forward over MQTT with store-and-forward on disconnect.
STORE
Time-series DB for high-cardinality metrics; object store for imagery; graph for asset relationships.
MODEL
Per-site forecasting and anomaly detection; models retrain on drift, not on schedule.
DECIDE
A rules engine your ops team can read — no PhDs required to tune thresholds.
ACT
Alerts route by playbook; actuators fire; every event carries a receipt back into the loop.

Each hop is instrumented. If a link degrades, the gateway holds up to 30 days locally and back-fills once it reconnects — no gaps in your history.

NARRATIVE

A soil moisture probe in Zone 3 drifts three standard deviations from its 30-day baseline.

Within four seconds, the anomaly detector flags it. A playbook fires — the on-call agronomist gets a push notification with the affected parcels, historical context, and a one-tap "acknowledge" that opens a resolution ticket.

By 05:20 a valve actuator kicks in. By 06:00 the system confirms baseline is restored and closes the ticket automatically. The entire incident is stitched into the daily digest with a receipt.
