Libelium Air Quality Index IoT Vertical Kit

This kit allows real time monitoring air quality in cities. It includes Smart Environment PRO Solution with gases calibrated sensors. For ambient monitoring it provides more accuracy in monitoring gas concentration levels and the amount of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 particles allows cities and government agencies to meet international Air Quality Index (AQI) compliance values, and better advise the public of air quality and health risk.

Includes sensors for monitoring the levels of O₃, SO₂, NO₂, CO.

The data is sent to the Internet by the GW using Ethernet and 4G radios.

Software Solution

Meshlium visualization plugin allows to:

• Visualize real-time data.
• Show measured data graphically between different time periods. It is possible to select for example last week, or last month data.
• Compare different parameters in the same node, and check their historical evolution in a comparative way.
• Geolocate the nodes via GPS and a communication module, and check in a visual map the data measured for each node.
• Sensor data is stored internally using the Meshlium MySQL database. Data can be extracted to a third Cloud Platform later.

Know more about the Meshlium Visualizer at the Meshlium Technical Guide. Section 16.

* There is no SSH access in the IoT Vertical Kits.

Meshlium Sensor Visualizer interface includes 100 times free access limit.

After 100 log-ins a license fee can be acquired to keep on using it.

Application examples

Predicting eruptions in the Masaya Volcano with wireless sensors.

Volcanoes' eruptions are one of the most unpredictable and impressive natural phenomenons. Some vulcanologists are currently focused on working with the latest technology to monitor in real-time everything that happens inside and outside the crater to predict eruptions. With more than 80 sensors deployed, the main aim of the project has been building a digital early warning system to predict volcano eruptions. The ultimate goal of the project is providing a public service by giving access to the general population and decision makers enabling them to experience an active volcano in real-time.

Mobile monitoring system: Vehicles with sensors to control air quality in Glasgow.

Public authorities in cities have deployed static stations to monitor air quality data for a set of pollutant with specific, and high cost, sensing technologies. These stations provide highly accurate data but their cost limits the quantity of deployments, leaving large gaps in coverage. CENSIS, the innovation center of excellence for Sensor and Imaging Systems (SIS) technologies, has developed a low-cost system with Libelium Waspmote Sensor Platform in Glasgow (UK) that can be deployed flexibly and rapidly in mobile configurations to complement static stations providing more capilarity to Smart Cities projects.

Smart Airport project: monitoring environmental conditions in Santiago de Chile airport.

Worlwide airports have become indoor cities where passengers spend so many time before and after taking their flights. In modern airports can be found hotels, restaurants, luxury shops and leisure centres but what makes passengers experience truly comfortable is reducing waiting times, enhancing conditions and also improving processes in the terminals. Ikusi is a technology company specialised in applications to provide greater intelligence and efficiency in infrastructure security, road and rail mobility, airports and cities; with Libelium Waspmote Sensor Platform, the Spanish company has developed a wireless sensor network to ensure quality in management and operation under the concession model in Santiago de Chile airport.

Enhancing environmental control and reducing emissions in Nordic Smart Cities.

In the last years, it has become mandatory through several international regulations to reduce emissions that could impact in the environment and also inhabitants lives. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has led this project based on wireless sensor networks with Libelium Waspmote Sensor Platform. The Smart City plan has been deployed in two Nordic municipalities as test beds: Trondheim (Norway) and Vejle (Denmark).

Monitoring the largest Gold mine in Thailand.

Akara Resources is the leading gold producer in Thailand owning the largest and most important gold mine in the country: Chatree. The mine´s air quality will be monitored by Libelium’s Waspmote Plug & Sense! Sensor Platform in real-time and stored using EnviroSuite’s Air Quality Module. The archived data can be accessed for use in compliance reporting and back tracking for accountability.
