An autonomous distributed measurement system has been developed for monitoring mechanical stresses in underground pipelines operating in permafrost conditions and in petroleum product storage tanks. The system comprises energy-efficient remote units based on STM32 microcontrollers and 24-bit CS1238 ADCs, which transmit data via SIM800L GSM modules to a central FreeBSD server running PostgreSQL. The remote units can operate for several months on a single lithium battery, support configurations with up to 12 measurement channels, and are capable of collecting data from various analog sensors. The system architecture provides high scalability (supporting thousands of remote units) and remote data access.
