Lakeshore Data Systems · Tecumseh, Ontario
Connected intelligence for equipment that is expensive to lose.
We design the sensor hardware, the firmware and the cloud behind it as one system, so the intelligence sits next to the machine instead of in a dashboard after the fact.
The idea
A brain on the machine, not a dashboard after the fact
We build systems that live on the equipment. They sense what the machine is actually doing, notice the quiet failures, and can act before the damage is done. The phone is a window on that system. It is not the system.
Read the machine itself
Pressure, temperature and whatever else the equipment reveals, measured at the equipment and not inferred from a calendar.
Learn what normal looks like
Firmware on the device learns each unit's normal and catches the quiet problems: a starved line, a motor running on air, heat with no flow.
Switch it, or refuse to
Relays and interlocks let the system run equipment, and refuse a command that would damage it. The limits live on the device.
Cloud and app. History, alerts and remote control sit on top. They advise. The device decides.
One stack
Hardware, firmware and cloud, designed together
We do not bolt a dashboard onto someone else's box. Each layer is built knowing what the others will do.
Hardware
Sensor and control boards we design in-house, sealed against the weather and built for the places equipment actually sits.
Firmware
The logic runs on the device. It decides, acts, and keeps a local record when the network does not.
Cloud
Device identity, encrypted telemetry and commands, long history, alerts, and the tools the trades use to look after their customers.
Built to be trusted
Equipment that fails when nobody is watching needs a system you can trust
Safety and security are part of the design, not a layer added at the end.
- Each device holds its own certificate and enrols itself.
- Telemetry and commands travel over encrypted connections.
- Safety limits are enforced on the device, so a bad command or a lost connection cannot override them.
- The device keeps a local record when the network is down.
In the field
Sold and supported through the trades that already stand next to the machine
We build the system. The trades place it, service it and keep the relationship with the customer.
Our first commercial line is Pool Queen, connected monitoring and control for residential pool equipment. More products of this kind will follow on the same stack.

If you service equipment that is expensive to lose, we would like to hear what you see go wrong.
