Project
Autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) System for Water Quality Monitoring and Operational Support for Threats Identification
Description
The goal of the project is to develop and introduce to the market an innovative the ASIR – Autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) System for Water Quality Monitoring and Operational Support for Threat Identification adapted to river environment conditions, operating continuously. The ASIR will signal current hazards to ecosystems and predict potential environmental impacts, enabling appropriate and early action. The ASIR integrates three components that are innovative on a global scale:
- Autonomous Measurement Station – monitoring 10 key physicochemical water parameters such as: pH, chlorides, nitrates(V), ammonium ions, orthophosphates(V), conductivity, oxygen, temperature, flow velocity, depth. Seven of these will be measured using the applicant patent pending system (P.446260), with a roller system module equipped with several hundred disposable and inexpensive miniature sensors that do not require calibration or cleaning. After
a sensor loses its analytical parameters, it is automatically replaced with a new one. The continuity of operation for 365 days a year is ensured by a micro-hydroelectric generator powered by flowing water and the heating of electronic systems for stable operation in winter conditions. - Smart Cloud-based Management System for Measurement Stations – a platform for monitoring, managing, and analyzing data equipped with AI modules that identify anomalies and predict water parameter values 72 hours in advance.
- Interactive National River Pollution Risk Map – an innovative tool supporting the selection of an optimal measurement plan and the appropriate placement of measurement stations in the research area.
The project will be carried out by an interdisciplinary consortium experienced in the field of printed electronics, sensors, hydrology, IoT and IT. The commercialization model tailored to the needs of different recipients will make the ASIR widely available.
