Project contents
As part of a multi-year research and development project, we have developed measuring devices, operating technologies and cloud services for urban climate monitoring together with our partner company ERGO. The technology enables the operation of high-density measurement networks, particularly in urban areas, and delivers impressive data quality with greatly reduced operating costs.
The self-sufficient sensor nodes are solar-powered, use modern mobile networks (Cat-M, NB-IoT) for data transmission and are easy to install and maintain. Customized cloud services receive and validate the measured data and dynamically merge it with stored location and calibration information. All processing operations on the raw data are fully reversible, so that faulty data can be easily corrected and masked afterwards.
The installation and maintenance of the sensor nodes is supported by an app that can be used to quickly register devices at newly set up measuring points. If the devices at individual locations need to be replaced during maintenance work, this can be avoided in the app.
We make the measured data available to our users via our own platform SENSOTO. There, the meteorological data can be explored, interactively displayed and downloaded using various map and diagram functions. For processing in connected IT systems, the data can be retrieved in machine-readable form via REST APIs and automatically aggregated at different time intervals.
