After a power blip — reconstructing excursion windows with incomplete logs

<p>Power events scramble more than compressors. Logger clocks drift, some channels stop mid-minute, and supervisors remember door activity differently than the CCTV timestamp.</p> <p>When Utilityspringbase supports an excursion investigation, we first establish a single timeline: mains failure start, restoration, and the earliest reliable logger sample after reboot. Then we reconstruct each zone’s temperature path and mark uncertainty where data gaps exist.</p> <p>Hold-or-release advice stays conservative in gap windows. We would rather a quality team stage a sensory check than release product on interpolated confidence. The dashboard views we leave behind after these events usually add a “data gap” overlay so future blips do not look like smooth control.</p> <p>If your facility lost power recently, gather logger exports, the electricity restoration notice, and dock door schedules before the briefing call. Incomplete context slows reconstruction more than incomplete charts.</p>
