Hardware, as a Service
Deployed, calibrated and serviced by us
Project-based sensor packages, delivered as a managed service. We deploy pre-calibrated units, hot-swap them on your programme's schedule and track device health remotely. Every device streams to SWIM-OS, public dashboards or your own systems via our secure APIs.
WaQA Float
Floating multi-parameter sensor platform measuring pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and ammonium. IP68 housing, with six months of onboard memory.
Comms box
Connects to the float by Bluetooth so it can sit where the cellular signal is strongest. D
Device health is tracked remotely.
Camera Hardware
Records the discharge at the outfall, so a change in water quality can be checked against what happened, with no site visit needed.
Kiosk
Pumped kiosks for sites that need one, using the same comms, hot-swap servicing and secure data delivery as the float.
WaQA Float.
Measures pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and ammonium in the water itself.
Placed where the data is reliable.
The float can be tethered, anchored, staked or tied to an existing structure.
Always samples the same point in the water column.
Because the float rises and falls with the water level, data is always collected from 30cm depth, allowing for representative comparisons.
Data redundancy built in.
Onboard memory holds six months of encrypted data.
Battery powered.
No cables, external batteries, or solar panels required. Low power draw and no comms retrys means the battery lasts up to 6 months and the float will keep sampling, even if the comms box is unavailable.
Comms Box
Takes data from the float and sends it to SWIM-OS over the cellular network. Data is secure at rest, and in transit.
Sited for signal.
The comms box connects to the float by Bluetooth from up to 100 m away, so it can sit where the cellular signal is strongest.
Health tracked remotely.
Device health, out of water alarms, and data transmission are monitored remotely.
Data redundancy built in
A second point of data redundancy, the comms box can securely hold up to 6 months worth of data.
Camera hardware.
Records the outfall, so a change in water quality can be checked against what actually happened at the pipe.
Fewer site visits.
Images are reviewed in SWIM-OS. A suspected discharge can be confirmed or ruled out without sending someone to site.
Detection models to validate readings, or alert to events.
Image models for sediment, coloured discharges and foam alert to discharge events.
Overtopping, flow, and level models are also available.
WaQA Kiosk Measures pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and ammonium in the water itself.
Pumped kiosk.
For sites where an in-stream float is not suitable, a pumped kiosk draws water to the sensors on the bank.
Same service.
Kiosks use the same comms, calibration schedule and data delivery as the float, so results from both sit in one record in SWIM-OS.
Choosing the setup.
We recommend kiosk or in-stream monitoring for each site as part of siting, and record the reasons why.
