Field/ Industry: Electronics
Agency: Advance Science and technology Institute
Industrial Model/Registration Number: Appln no.: 3-2013-000615
Status of Application: Registered
Brief Description:
The Water Level Monitoring Station (WLMS) is a weather device equipped with an ultrasonic sensor connected to the ASTI-developed Advanced Remote Data-Acquisition Unit that measures the distance to an object by using sound waves. The data gathered in a predetermined time interval is sent through SMS or satellite network which is viewable through a website.
Problem Addressed:
Need for timely water level information in critical flood-prone areas.
Advantages:
- The station is rugged and standalone which can be deployed even in remote areas;
- The station derives its power from the solar energy, backed up by internal rechargeable battery;
- The station monitors real-time water level changes in specific localities all over the country;
- The gathered water level data can be viewed and accessed through the Philsensor website managed by ASTI; and
- The station is controlled by the data logger (arQ) developed by ASTI.
Market Potential:
Research Institutions, Policy-creating and implementing bodies, Local Government Units and Non-government Organizations
