Remote monitoring reduces the cost of monitoring cathodic protection and improves the reliability of cathodic protection systems. Automated processes by the end user can populate data into existing databases customized for cathodic protection record-keeping, and can be integrated with other software.
With the decreasing costs and increasing capabilities of electronics and communications, it has become practical to monitor cathodic protection levels using automated monitoring systems, or smart test stations. These smart test stations can measure pipe-to-soil potentials, instant-off and depolarized coupon potentials, and bond currents, and communicate these data via satellite or cellular communications systems. Low power electronics allow these smart test stations to operate using a lithium battery, obviating the need for electrical power and increasing the reliability by eliminating a source of electrical spikes and surges. In addition, automated processes by the end user can populate data into existing databases customized for cathodic protection record-keeping, and can be integrated with other software systems, such as work-management or risk-management software.

Today, multi-purpose, built-for-purpose, all-in-one, pipeline integrity automation, wireless, data communication radios are available that monitor and report all cathodic protection rectifier operations, automate rectifier interruption, monitor rectifier operational status, monitor and report pipe-to-soil potential, pipeline pressure and pipeline pigging operations.
Impressed current cathodic protection (CP) systems for water storage tanks must be periodically tested in order to ensure proper performance. Remote monitoring units (RMU) provide the ability to monitor CP system performance data from remote locations using modem-equipped personal computers.
