New Turbidity Sensor for Smart Water to Control Water Quality

With the the addition of the <strong>Turdibidy</strong> sensor to the Smart Water solution Libelium completes the range of water quality sensors available for <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/" title="Waspmote">Waspmote</a> and <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/plug-sense/" title="Plug&Sense!" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Plug & Sense!</a> platforms. The new set include: pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), conductivity (salinity), turbidity, temperature and dissolved ions (Na⁺, Ca⁺, F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, I^-, Cu²⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, NO₃^-).

Smart Water Sensors to monitor water quality in rivers, lakes and the sea

Libelium launched a Smart Water wireless sensor platform to simplify remote water quality monitoring. Equipped with multiple sensors that measure a dozen of the most relevant water quality parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) conductivity (salinity), temperature and dissolved ions such as Ca2+, Cl-, I-. Waspmote Smart Water is the first water quality-sensing platform to feature autonomous nodes that connect to the Cloud for real-time water control.

Wireless Sensor Networks to monitor food sustainability

<p style="text-align: justify;">Given <a href="https://internationalsupermarketnews.com/">recent public alarm</a> at the safety of our food sources, this accuracy of monitoring our food supply during the transport and distribution increases consumer confidence and protects community health and the food industry's integrity. To prevent food insecurity, we require reliable food systems at each stage of the food cycle: from food <strong>production</strong> and <strong>harvesting</strong>, during  <strong>transport</strong> and <strong>distribution</strong>, at the shops we buy at and in the social settings wherever we <strong>consume</strong> food, and in the <strong>management</strong> of the resulting <strong>bio-waste outputs</strong>. Libelium's <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> sensors can be used to monitor and control the whole food cycle. </p> <p> </p>

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.

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

<p>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. </p> <p> </p>
