Product Details
Most water monitors are expensive, require engineer installation or are manually operated. Many have limited data output and are inflexible to use.
Through iterative user centred design, proof-of-concept and prototyping, the product has been designed to solve the market’s business challenges. It is built to withstand the extreme conditions of lakes, rivers and reservoirs around the world.
Our role in the product development has been:
- Ideation and consultancy
- Product and interface design
- Electronics design and build
- Responsive HTML5 front and back-end interface
- Data Dashboard and Mobile Application
- IoT communications platform for sensor-based systems
The versatility of the design has led to an array of new products that have evolved and been developed to meet different use cases within the water, environmental and utility sectors. The product is being used by over 50% of the UK water companies as well as in Germany and Australia.
