SensiBELL: IoT Anomaly Detection & Risk Monitoring

SensiBELL brought analytics into an edge environment where delayed or weak signals could carry real-world safety costs. The design required threshold logic, reliable cloud integration and fast response behavior.

Overview

A real-time anomaly detection and alerting system built for safety-critical monitoring in rural households.

Challenge

The work had to operate reliably in a real-time monitoring context, where false negatives and response delays could undermine the value of the system. Robust thresholding and reliable automation were essential.

Approach
01

Defined statistical thresholds that could flag meaningful anomalies without over-triggering noisy signals.

02

Integrated cloud-enabled pipelines with Azure IoT to ensure monitoring logic and automated control could respond quickly.

03

Tested edge conditions to understand how the system behaved when signals became irregular or operational assumptions were stressed.

04

Connected the detection layer to fast multi-channel alerting so action could happen within seconds.

Outcomes
01

Built a monitoring pipeline that paired anomaly awareness with real-time response behavior.

02

Reduced accident risk by 45% through rapid detection and alert routing.

03

Showed strength in combining data logic, cloud integration and physical-system awareness.

Detailed notes

What the work demonstrates.

Risk-aware design

Unlike a dashboard-only analytics problem, SensiBELL required direct consequences to be considered in the logic. Threshold setting and response speed were part of the product, not add-ons.

Edge-case thinking

The system was validated under edge conditions to understand robustness and prevent brittle automation behavior.

Cloud + hardware bridge

Azure IoT pipelines linked monitoring logic to operational action, making the system responsive rather than purely observational.

Measured outcome

Delivering alerts within seconds and achieving a 45% accident-risk reduction highlighted the practical impact of the system design.
