Standby diesel — tested monthly, trusted daily, and silent until the day it matters.
A standby genset spends most of its life doing nothing — which is exactly the problem. Batteries fade, fuel degrades, coolant leaks, and connections corrode in the weeks between tests, so the failure shows up at the worst possible moment. Veritas Data designs and builds monitoring for diesel engines and gensets that watches the whole start chain continuously, so you find the weak battery on a dashboard, not during an outage.
Backup power is insurance you only collect on once, without warning — and a genset that doesn’t start during an outage isn’t a maintenance issue, it’s a failure of the whole reason it exists. For a hospital, a data center, or a facility under code, that’s measured in safety and liability, not just downtime. Continuous monitoring turns "we tested it last month" into "we know it’s ready right now."
The same analytics spine behind every Veritas system, engineered around diesel start-readiness.
A continuous read on the whole start chain — from the engine ECU over J1939, and from sensors we add.
Trend detection that flags the fade — a battery losing capacity, fuel trending bad, vibration rising — before test day, not after.
A clear heads-up while it’s a battery swap, not a failed startup — with the records your compliance program needs.
A focused view of one genset, with sample data — not a live system. Watch the battery voltage: when it drifts down toward the line, the most common cause of a no-start is building — weeks before the monthly test would catch it.
Modern gensets expose battery, fuel, temperature, and fault codes on the J1939/CAN bus — we read them directly, without changing how the unit runs.
Older gensets without a data bus get add-on sensors — battery, fuel, vibration, coolant — so age is no barrier to knowing it’s ready.
One genset or a fleet across sites — readiness for all of them in a single view, with the test records to prove it.
We read the ECU and add our own sensors — but the genset’s own controls and safety logic stay exactly as they are. Monitoring that can’t interfere with a start sequence is monitoring a facility will actually allow.
Where a genset that won’t start is a patient-safety event and code compliance is mandatory.
Where standby power protects uptime measured in millions per hour and a failed start is unthinkable.
Anyone responsible for a genset who’d rather find the weak battery on a screen than during the outage.
