Vertical: Industrial IoT
Sensors Mag “Smart Viticulture Project in Spain Uses Sensor Devices to Harvest Healthier, More Abundant Grapes for Coveted Albariño Wines”
Smart applications are becoming more prevalent in big cities and urban environments and in the countryside as well. Smart agriculture brings state-of-the-art technology to an industry where the plow and sickle have ruled for thousands of years.
50 Sensor applications for a Smarter World. Get Inspired!
<p>More than <strong>50 billion devices</strong> will be connected to the Internet by 2020, but this new connectivity revolution has already started. Libelium publishes a compilation of 50 cutting edge Internet of Things applications grouped by vertical markets. </p>
Nature Preservation by Monitoring and Studying the Habitat of Bats with Waspmote
QUIROTEC system has been developed by Wireless Galicia, a Spanish company focused on wireless communication systems, and this project has been deployed in the National Park of Atlantic Islands of Galicia. This system is able to monitor several parameters (Temperature, Luminosity, Humidity and Ultrasounds) to study the habitat of bats and to determine whether bats are present within a specific area.
Wireless Sensor Networks enhancing the efficiency and safety of logistics operations
<p style="text-align: justify;">Management of cargo freight such as sea containers is an essential element of world economic systems. The transport and delivery of goods from continent to continent and between locations on-land enable business growth and facilitate population access to necessary goods and consumer items. However, mismanagement and accidents with transport containers cause significant impact to the economy, individual businesses, workers, communities and the environment. Libelium's <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> sensors can be used to monitor and control logistics operations. </p>
Smart City project in Serbia for environmental monitoring by Public Transportation
The EkoBus system was developed in collaboration with Ericsson and deployed in the cities of Belgrade and Pancevo. Several Waspmotes were installed on public transportation vehicles to monitor a set of environmental parameters over a large area as well as to provide additional information for the end-user like the location of the buses and estimated arrival times to bus stops. The GPS and 3G/GPRS modules allowed the Waspmotes to work as autonomous sensor collectors.
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>
New Smart Metering sensor board for Waspmote
<p>The new <strong>Smart Metering Sensor Board</strong> for Libelium's Waspmote platform enables very high reliability monitoring of 6 parameters for <strong>electricity </strong>&<strong> water supply</strong>, logistics and industrial automation.The new board extends the current features by supporting the measurement of the following key parameters:</p> <ul> <li>Electric current</li> <li>Water flow</li> <li>Weight of materials and goods</li> <li>Liquid level</li> <li>Distance by ultrasounds<br /></li> <li>Distance and displacement of an object </li> </ul> <p>Applications include managing the usage of electricity and water, supply chain management and manufacturing. </p>
