Case Study: Enhancing Flood Prevention and Safety Measures

Case Study: Enhancing Flood Prevention and Safety Measures

Working with a customer in France, we harnessed the power of IO-GATE to revolutionize the monitoring of water levels in a dam, employing IO-Link sensors in conjunction with a strategically placed IP camera. Our solution involved installing a high-resolution camera overlooking the dam, providing clear and continuous capture of the water levels and its surroundings. To ensure seamless data transmission, we connected the camera to the IO-GATE via the Ethernet interface.

For this project, we went a step further in customizing a Docker container app tailored to the customer's specific requirements. The IO-GATE, functioning as the central hub, efficiently processed and transmitted the data acquired by the camera to a cloud-based platform for in-depth analysis.

In real-time, our system tracked water level data using purpose-built sensors, presenting it comprehensively on a user-friendly dashboard. This real-time monitoring capability, driven by the IP camera and IO-GATE in tandem with water level sensors, not only ensured continuous oversight but also empowered our client to respond promptly to any unforeseen events such as flooding or drought alarms.

Integral to this streamlined operation, our Edge Manager effectively managed and coordinated all aspects of IO-GATE, its cameras, and sensors, ensuring a cohesive and efficient ecosystem for our client.
