This project focuses on retrofitting an existing concrete water tank with modern IoT technology, integrating it into the ICTnexus Smart Island LoRa® Network for enhanced monitoring and management. The retrofit involves adding a LoRaWAN® level sensor to the tank and a LoRaWAN® power meter to the existing pump system.
How we Completed
ICTnexus evaluated the existing concrete tank and pump system to determine optimal sensor placement and installation requirements. A submersible level sensor was lowered into the tank. The cable was securely fastened to provide an appropriate depth. The sensor’s cable was connected to a LoRaWAN® transmitter. The result was verified by a manual measurement.
transmitter, which was mounted in a weatherproof enclosure.
The Mission
The primary objectives of this retrofit project were:
- To implement real-time monitoring of water levels in the existing concrete tank
- To enable remote tracking of the pump’s energy consumption
- To integrate the new sensors with the ICTnexus Smart Island Network for centralized data management and analysis
- To improve water resource management and energy efficiency without significant infrastructure changes
Final Results
The project was successfully completed, yielding the following outcomes:
- Accurate Water Level Monitoring: The submersible sensor provides precise, real-time water level data, enabling better management of water resources
- Energy Consumption Insights: The LoRaWAN® power meter offers detailed information on the pump’s energy usage, allowing for optimisation of pump operations
- Enhanced Data Visibility: Both water levels and energy consumption data are now accessible through the ICTnexus Smart Island Network dashboard, providing comprehensive system oversight
- Improved Operational Efficiency: The real-time data allows for more responsive and efficient management of the water system, including timely pump activation and deactivation based on actual water levels
- Remote Management Capabilities: Operators can now monitor and manage the system remotely, reducing the need for frequent on-site visits
- Early Issue Detection: The system can now detect anomalies in water levels or energy consumption patterns, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Historical data collected through the ICTnexus platform facilitates informed decision-making for long-term system improvements and resource allocation
