Automatic Management of Cloud-Based Water Quality Sensor Data

The water quality sensor instrument (water quality sensor) employs the sensing technology of this turbidimeter. By measuring and quantifying water with specialized reagents (test kits) using the water quality sensor, it eliminates individual variations in visual measurements and the influence of measurement environments (such as sunlight). By utilizing different types of specialized reagents (test kits), a single measuring instrument (water quality sensor) can perform various types of water quality measurements.

Water quality data measured by instruments (water quality sensors) does not need to be recorded, reported, and stored on paper every time. You can use a smartphone app to automatically manage the data in the cloud. The data is sent from the measurement instruments (water quality sensors) as-is, making it easier to prevent transcription errors. Even when managers are not on-site, they can view the water quality data at the collection points in real time via the cloud, allowing them to understand water quality changes promptly. Multiple administrators can also share data among themselves in the cloud.

In most cases, such cloud-based IoT systems are being implemented, and we face formidable challenges such as on-site network maintenance and system construction. However, the "water quality sensor" requires only a smartphone on-site—that’s a significant advantage. The water quality sensor system has been recognized as a solution to address various resource shortages in this field and marks a step forward in improving water environments across Asian countries.
