iRAM’s environment monitoring system is designed to address the growing need for monitoring air quality across India. The portable internet of things (IoT)-based solution measures gases like CO, CO2, NO2, O3 and SO2, along with particle matter, ultra-violet (UV) and noise levels through a remotely calibrated sensor. Apart from pollutants, it also measures various other ambient parameters such as temperature, humidity, surrounding light and rainfall. This portable solution can be fully integrated with a smart pole. The live information can be captured and stored for future analysis by the authorities to create better environmental policies.
iRAM’s environment monitoring system comprises multiple sensors that continuously measure and transmit data to the central monitoring system (CMS). The sensors send data signals that are also location marked and time-stamped through a wide area network (WAN).
The sensors are quick to respond to variable changes in the environment, are highly accurate and reliable, require low maintenance, and have a built-in battery backup that can last for 24 hours. They automatically connect to the CMS and start measuring. Each sensor samples the environment at configurable intervals and transmits the data to the controller. The controller then sends the data to the CMS in a secure way through 2G/3G/4G, Wi-Fi or ethernet. If the controller is not able to transmit the data to the CMS due to any sort of communication link error, it stores the data locally and transfers the data after the communication link has been restored.
iRAM’s environment monitoring system comprises a modern system based on IoT and cloud architecture. The sensor data is always stored on the cloud server, keeping it safe from data loss. The logged historical information can further be accessed and analysed as and when needed.
