Advanticsys, in collaboration with our local partner Teching Perú, is proud to announce the successful deployment of a smart water monitoring system for SUNASS (Superintendencia Nacional de Servicios de Saneamiento), the public entity responsible for regulating and supervising sanitation services in Peru.

The project involves the provision of SPC-31 dataloggers integrated with our Concordia Cloud Platform, enabling SUNASS to monitor pressure in drinking water distribution networks across the regions of Tumbes, Piura, and Lambayeque. This initiative strengthens SUNASS’s ability to oversee and regulate water service quality, ensuring greater efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in water management.

Each SPC-31 device is equipped with high-precision sensors for real-time pressure and temperature monitoring. Designed for durability, the devices feature IP68-rated enclosures, making them resilient to the harsh environmental conditions often found in field installations. Data transmission is performed using both MQTT and FTP protocols, ensuring secure, reliable communication in open formats such as JSON and CSV. The devices are powered by long-life lithium batteries, providing over five years of autonomous operation, and have been calibrated either by the factory or by accredited laboratories, ensuring the highest standards of measurement accuracy.

At the core of the project is the integration with the Concordia Cloud Platform developed by Advanticsys. This platform enables centralized, real-time visualization and management of all data collected by the devices. It allows SUNASS to configure alerts for abnormal pressure conditions, export data in open formats for audits and regulatory reporting, and analyze historical trends to support strategic decision-making. The platform seamlessly integrates with SUNASS’s existing web and SCADA infrastructures, ensuring smooth data interoperability and reliable connectivity even in remote areas.

Through this initiative, SUNASS benefits from continuous monitoring of key pressure variables, a significant reduction in the need for manual data collection and field inspections, and faster incident detection and response through automated alerts. The availability of accurate and timely data supports better operational decision-making and reinforces transparency and compliance with Peru’s water service regulations.

According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is causing around 467,000 premature deaths in Europe every year. Cities around the world are committed to improving air quality by drastically reducing the main contributor: road traffic. In most of the cases, drastic measures are being taken by capitals like London, Paris or Madrid forbidding private cars usage on given days or during seasons. However, this is not enough. With powerful technology-enabled tools, cities can improve their decision-making process.One example is the successful project developed in Chester City (United Kingdom), where Advanticsys Internet of Things technology has been used to reduce air pollution caused through traffic congestion by linking air quality measurements to a local authority’s traffic management control system. The project aimed to test the feasibility of developing an integrated data platform for Chester city centre. The focus was on linking a novel air quality network of low cost wireless sensors with the traffic management within the city centre to alleviate air pollution ‘hot spots’ caused by queuing traffic.

Advanticsys provided a scalable low-cost wireless sensor network which included air quality sensing units measuring key traffic pollutants: nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM).

The end-to-end solution provided by Advanticsys is completed with the Concordia Cloud platform, where the data from sensing units are being sent in real time. The platform also includes events notification by email.Dr Hannah Newton, the project lead, from UK-based company C-Tech Innovation said: “We have installed air quality sensors in the Cheshire West and Cheshire (CWAC) air quality management area for comparison alongside the CWAC pollution analysers. These sensor units are mounted to the lamp posts in the area and communicate over the mobile network. The project concept is to create air quality sensors that can be linked to a city’s traffic management control system (traffic lights, signage etc.) to help alleviate hotspots of pollution caused by heavy traffic.”

A sensor network deployment based on ADVANTICSYS technology will be the tool used by a group of experts from the University of Seville to obtain data with which to analyze the impact that climate change will result in Doñana Biological Reserve (DBR).

The intelligent nodes are currently located in Laguna del Ojillo de Doñana where through humidity, temperature and wind direction data, among others, and the application of computational intelligence and monitoring techniques can foresee water levels.

Low-cost wireless technology and consumption

The system implemented in the DBR is based on CM3000 and CM3300 platforms that ADVANTICSYS strongly recommends for deployments in remote environments where extended radio coverage is needed. These devices have very special characteristics: low cost, low power consumption, ability to wirelessly communicate with each other, data processing capacity, and ability to be equipped with sensors and autonomous in the sense of energy. This, coupled with its low cost makes it possible to make a deployemnt of hundreds of nodes to cover large areas.

The Doñana Biological Reserve

The Spanish natural protected area of Doñana in Huelva, has 104,970 hectares and includes both the Doñana National Park (established 1969) and the Doñana Natural Park (established in 1989 and expanded in 1997). Its vast expanse of marshes hosts numerous species of waterfowl, typically up to 200,000 individuals during the winter each year.

Due to its privileged location between two continents and its proximity to the meeting place of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Strait of Gibraltar, Doñana can observe over 300 species of European and African birds a year, being a transit, breeding and wintering grounds for thousands of them (aquatic and terrestrial).
