New Weather Station Sensors integrated in Libelium’s IoT platform perform maximum accuracy

Libelium has developed a project to test the accuracy of weather stations that includes its IoT platform in comparison with the professional station of AEMET. In order to do this, Libelium's engineering team installed two <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/plug-sense/" title="Plug & Sense!">Plug & Sense!</a> nodes in the <a href="http://www.cusvaldespartera.es/" title="CUS Zaragoza" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sustainable Urbanism Center of Zaragoza</a> (Spain) requesting permission from AEMET to carry out the measurements in the same location and under the same conditions as its reference station. The results obtained in the comparative study show that the station behaves in parallel and with the same precision as the official AEMET meteorological station, both in terms of wind speed and direction and in terms of accumulated precipitation parameters. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/new-weather-station-sensors-integrated-in-libeliums-iot-platform-perform-maximum-accuracy/" title="Read more">Read more</a>.

Reducing Logistics’ environmental impact by air quality monitoring in the Baltic Sea Port of Gdansk, Poland

<a href="http://www.featureforest.pl/" title="Feature Forest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Feature Forest</a> is a Polish start-up, specialized in developing software solutions for the IoT, taking advantage of data science methods. The company has successfully accomplished the so-called Space3ac Acceleration Program, a project which seeks the minimization of port activity impact as well as solving the problems of transportation industry players in the surrounding areas of the Gdansk Port. The fPerception system allows the immediate detection of hazardous chemical compounds polluting the air in real time. This project aims to localize the sources of air pollutants in the area of the port, such as the berthing of vessels, the heat and power plants, the cargo handling activities, the surrounding industry or the raising road and railway transport. Libelium technology is located nearby potential sources of pollution where information about gas concentration is correlated with wind direction and speed in order to predict and react in case of an emergency. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/reducing-logistics-environmental-impact-by-air-quality-monitoring-in-the-baltic-sea-port-of-gdansk-poland/" title="Read more">Read more</a>.
