IoT Solutions
Water Management activity affects multiple sectors: agriculture, farming, industry, services, cities… Monitoring potable water, detecting chemical leakages in rivers, controlling realtime leakages in the sea, tracking pressure variations along pipes and checking water quality in facilities such as fishfarms or swimming pools are some examples.
Population growth and climate change are the main challenges for water, a scarce resource.
Some figures…
Where to monitor water quality?
Need for ecological control:
Parameters to monitor according to the laws:
Any scenario
Industrial
Emergencies
Management
Smart Water is a product designed to detect the most relevant parameters related to water quality control such as dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential, pH, conductivity and temperature.
Different models for several budgets or needs: Basic, Ions, and Xtreme
Sensors from prestigious manufacturers such as Aqualabo
High accuracy sensors
Real-time information, continuous monitoring
Easy installation
Sensors can be placed in a buoy (sea and lakes installation)
Solar powered
Long battery life
Interoperability: any wireless technology
LPWAN and cellular communication protocol for isolated locations
Any Cloud platform
Predictive and preventive models can be built
Add on Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture
Physical characteristics:
Smart Water Xtreme sensors
Smart Water Xtreme | Plug&Sense! sensors have been designed to continuously monitoring.All sensor probes incorporate an integrated temperature sensor to compensate measurements. This process is called “integrated temperature compensation”.
All sensors/probes incorporate calibration inside. Very low power consumption. Sleep mode available.
Robust sensor probes: PVC and stainless steel. 5-6 bar pressure resistance.
Optical and anti-fouling systems require less maintenance.
Fouling effect occurs when there is organic materials in the water. It creates a “bio-film” which adheres to the probes and provokes wrong measurements → quality decreases
A variety of mounting accessories for each sensor are available to the customer, to be placed in pipes or tanks.
Protective wildlife accessories are also available.
Sensors available:
Smart Water PRO
Smart Water | Plug&sense! allows remote monitoring of the most relevant parameters related to water quality.
Sensors available:
Smart Water Ions
Smart Water Ions | Plug&Sense! specializes in measuring ions concentration enabling water quality control in rivers, lakes and the sea.
Sensors available:
Parameters to measure
Dissolved oxygen, pH level, redox (ORP), conductivity, salinity, TDS – Kcl (total dissolved solids), temperature, nephelometric turbidity, suspended solids, sludge blanket.
Ion selective probes: ammonium, nitrate, chloride, sodium and calcium.
Sensors for biochemical and organic levels: fluorometers for chlorophyll, phycocyanin (freshwater BGA), phycoerythrin (marine BGA), CDOM/fDOM (colored dissolved organic matter/ fluorescent dissolved organic matter.
Sensors maintenance

Influential measurement factors
TURBIDITY
Please be aware that turbidity IS NOT the same as suspended solids.
There are several factors which provoke water turbidity:
Particles absorb heat from sunlight, making the water hotter and this reduces the concentration of oxygen in the water. The particles also scatter light, decreasing photosynthetic activity in plants which contribute to lower oxygen concentration even more.
Higher and quicker sedimentation process (in highly turbid waters), fish eggs and insect larvae in the river bed become covered and suffocate, the gills of the fish become damaged.
CONDUCTIVITY
pH LEVEL
DISSOLVED OXYGEN
BOD and COD cannot be measured with a probe directly. Instead, we can measure carbon levels.
Wireless communication protocols available to connect devices
