Partnering with Leading Environmental Services Companies to Protect the Planet
Until the advent of digital wireless technology and M2M solutions, the monitoring of a multitude of environmental conditions and regulated locations such as landfills, waste water plants and other potentially harmful operations, was largely a manual process.
Time, lack of technology and lack of automation as well as the expense involved, limited the actual amount of monitoring that could be accomplished, with processes largely limited to occasional inspections by humans – with those sites that absolutely required monitoring paying an exorbitant price. The use of M2M wireless technology, able to be delivered in often hostile locations with low power devices, both facilitates reduced monitoring costs while increasing the amount of data that can be captured and transmitted.
As Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiatives increase the pressure on industry to report and file detailed and regular – not simply exception – reports on critical facilities, wireless M2M is the obvious answer.
The use of M2M technology in environmental monitoring started expanding significantly as wireless technology is applied to more monitoring applications. There are many using M2M technology already in early adoption phases:
- Air quality measurement and reporting
- Irrigation, temperature, pressure and chemical monitoring
- Collection of water samples in rivers, lakes and even coral reefs
- Monitoring of gas and pollutant levels in landfills
- Measuring and controlling water levels in wastewater treatment facilities
- Flood management of bacterial and water levels
In the case of air quality and many other environmental conditions, the monitoring is required and regulated by government agencies. Compliance to regulations at the lowest possible cost will continue to drive the adoption of M2M technology as will the ability to more quickly identify and respond to events where conditions could be dangerous to people or property.
