The first responsibility of the cloud platform is receiving measurements transmitted from field installations.
Incoming data should be validated before being accepted into the operational database.
Validation may include verification of:
- device identity
- measurement format
- timestamp consistency
- expected value ranges
- communication integrity
Measurements failing basic validation should not immediately be discarded.
Instead, they should be flagged for subsequent engineering review whenever appropriate.
Maintaining both accepted and rejected observations contributes to improving future diagnostic capabilities.
