Smart Farming: Monitoring Horses and Equine Facility Management with Waspmote

<p><strong>EOIT</strong>, an acronym for <em>"Eyes on Inspiring Technology"</em>, is a young entrepreneurial company that views wireless sensor networks as an opportunity to improve agriculture, at a local level and internationally. <strong>EOIT developed Smart Horse using Libelium's Waspmote</strong>. It is an integrated technology platform that uses wireless sensor networks to monitor horses' health and the condition of barns and stables, and generate alerts in real time. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/smart-farming-monitoring-horses-equine-facility-management-waspmote/">Read more</a>.</p>

Water Quality Monitoring in Europe’s Largest Fluvial Aquarium

<p>Thanks to the collaboration between Libelium and the Aquarium of Zaragoza, measurements at the freshwater aquarium and a terrarium <strong>are taken several times per hour</strong> instead of once a day. The technology solution selected is <strong>Libelium's Smart Water</strong>. The main goal of this water-monitoring project <strong>is to automate the measurement of physical and chemical parameters</strong> in the tanks, improving the reliability and frequency of the data collected, and simplifying the tasks of the Aquarium of Zaragoza staff.

Urban Resilience in the Smart City: River Flood and Forest Fire Early Detection

Cities around the world are now focused on urban resilience, or the ability to withstand and recover from physical, social, and economic challenges that result from natural disasters, the forces of climate change, congestion, or other man-made disturbances. With the implementation of HAZUR and Libelium sensors</strong>, the territory of La Garrotxa can readily manage critical facets of its infrastructure and public services.

Comparing the Professional VS the Maker Sensor Lines for Agriculture and Water Monitoring

<p>In Libelium’s product portfolio is possible to find different options to control and measure agriculture and water parameters. On the one hand, Libelium offers professional solutions based in our own designed platform <strong>Waspmote: Smart Agriculture</strong> and <strong>Smart Water</strong>, on the other hand, we have designed two Arduino based cheap alternatives for makers: <strong>Open Aquarium</strong> and <strong>Open Garden</strong> that are distributed by Cooking Hacks – Libelium’s open hardware division.</p> <p>In this article, we will go through the main differences between them to <strong>help Libelium’s customers to choose the platform that suits best their needs</strong>.

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.

Detecting Radiation Levels in Fukushima: an example of crowdsourcing

The creation of the Radiation Sensor Board was motivated by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima after the unfortunate earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011. We wanted to help authorities to measure the levels of radiation of the affected zones without compromising the life of the security and rescue teams. For this reason we designed in just 3 weeks a Geiger Counter sensor board for Waspmote, which could read the radiation levels automatically and send the information in real time using wireless technologies like ZigBee and 3G/GPRS to the control point without human intervention.

Smart Water project in Valencia to monitor Water Cycle Management

This project was developed by the Institute of Computer Technology in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia and Telefonica Cathedra in Valencia (Spain). The Smart Water System consist of a mobile wireless sensor network that can be fast deployed in a particular area to monitor water quality by measuring parameters such as PH, conductivity, oxydation reduction potential (redox), disolved oxygen (DO) and turbidity. In this case, modularity and horizontal architecture of Waspmote allowed the customers to easily integrate these new sensors.
