Smart Water: pipe control to reduce water leakages in Smart Cities

Worldwide global water consumption has tripled since 1950.

Smart Cities platform from Libelium allows system integrators to monitor noise, pollution, structural health and waste management

Libelium, a technology leader in wireless sensor networks, announces the completion of its <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/libelium-releases-new-iot-smart-cities-platform-enhancing-accuracy-in-noise-level-and-air-quality-pollution-sensors/">Smart Cities</a> platform. A new sensor board measures noise pollution, dust quantities, structural health and garbage levels. This board may be combined in a network with previously available sensor boards - for <a href=https://www.libelium.com/calibrated-air-quality-gas-dust-particle-matter-pm10-smart-cities/">gas monitoring</a>, radiation detection and Smart Parking. System integrators can now create a comprehensive range of services based on the Smart Cities platform.

Wireless Sensor Networks to Control Radiation Levels

The creation of the Radiation Sensor Board has been motivated by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima after the unfortunate earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. We want to help authorities and security forces to measure the levels of radiation of the affected zones without compromising the life of the workers. For this reason we have created an autonomous battery powered Geiger Counter which can read the radiation levels automatically and send the information in real time using wireless technologies like ZigBee and GPRS.

Smart Cities: sensor cities that interact with us in a smart way

The concept of city is changing as we knew it.

Monitoring indoor air quality with Waspmote to prevent accidents and improve production processes

Many production processes in industry, agriculture, viticulture and livestock require specific environmental conditions to be monitored at all times. Sometimes the process can generate air pollutants that can be harmful and even deadly to workers in certain concentrations. The fact of having a monitoring system with <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> allows to control the parameters of a production process, send alerts via GPRS and even activate mechanisms through the relay actuator included in the prototype board.

New Smart Metering sensor board for Waspmote

The new Smart Metering Sensor Board for Libelium's Waspmote platform enables very high reliability monitoring of 6 parameters for electricity & water supply, logistics and industrial automation.The new board extends the current features by supporting the measurement of the following key parameters: <ul> <li>Electric current</li> <li>Water flow</li> <li>Weight of materials and goods</li> <li>Liquid level</li> <li>Distance by ultrasounds </li> <li>Distance and displacement of an object </li> </ul> Applications include managing the usage of electricity and water, supply chain management and manufacturing.

Sensor networks to monitor air pollution in cities

<a href="https://www.ecologistasenaccion.org">Studies</a> show that more than 16,000 people die prematurely in Spain by breathing polluted air, being the traffic responsible for up to 80% of that pollution. This figure is 4 times greater than the number of annual traffic accident victims. In Europe, CO2 emissions from road transport (half of them come from urban transport) have increased by 32% since 1990. Each liter of fuel burnt is issuing up to 2.3 kg of CO2. Thus, each person who uses the car for journeys to work (with an average distance of approximately 15 km) emits about 2 tonnes of CO2 a year. The increase also generates more traffic jams, which cause a loss of 100,000€ million per year in the European Union. Monitor pollution levels in central cities is key to provide adequate information to citizens and take actions to reduce it.

Detecting Forest Fires using Wireless Sensor Networks How long do you want to wait to know there is fire in the forest?

New Waspmote Sensor Board enables extreme precision agriculture in vineyards and greenhouses

The new Agriculture Sensor Board for Libelium’s award-winning Waspmote platform enables very precise irrigation and climate control for vineyards and greenhouses by monitoring up to 14 environmental parameters: air temperature, air humidity, soil temperature, soil moisture, leaf wetness, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, trunk/stem/fruit diameter, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall. This sophisticated monitoring brings extreme precision to crop growing in vineyards and greenhouses by enabling irrigation and climate control to be matched to local conditions.

Libelium opens access to Bluetooth Wireless Sensor Networks

Libelium announces a new Bluetooth module for the Waspmote wireless sensor network platform. This module enables wireless sensor networks to be directly linked to portable devices such as smart phones and laptop computers. This capability is particularly useful for medical applications and for industrial diagnostics. Additionally, when combined with the <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/">Meshlium</a> multi-protocol router, it supports the deployment of hybrid ZigBee- and Bluetooth-based wireless sensor networks.
