Sensicore Introduces Advanced Online Water Analysis and Data Visualization System
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 14 / / -- Sensicore, which manufactures smart sensors systems and software for monitoring the purity and surety of our water supply, today announced its WaterNOW service, an online monitoring system that enables real-time monitoring of water and wastewater for municipal and industrial applications. WaterNOW enables dynamic contouring of water chemistry on a map, much like Doppler weather conditions are presented on television, which will help users better understand contamination problems using sophisticated plume analysis algorithms. The Company's software also ties together water quality information from any source, including field and lab tests, on-line continuous monitoring systems (SCADA) and third party lab testing, providing a total picture of water quality information. Advanced analytical tools allow users to perform real-time analysis on their data and graph and prepare reports from within the WaterNOW system without having to export to another application.
"The antiquated system of collecting water samples and spending days in the lab analyzing, reviewing and preparing data reports is over," said Malcolm Kahn, Sensicore's CEO. "WaterNOW provides users with the ability to visualize their water quality information on a map of their city or community, and helps them understand and trouble-shoot problems in real-time. It will be an invaluable tool in helping municipalities provide a higher quality product while also improving operations and saving labor resources."
WaterNOW provides a complete picture of water and system conditions and helps users analyze complex changes is parameters and their affect on quality. The system uses a highly secure Internet browser model that provides easy access to a user's data from any Internet connected computer. WaterNOW accepts data from any source and is an easy-to-use tool for data analysis, data visualization, data warehousing, report writing and test scheduling By generating a robust database history, WaterNOW also enables users to make more informed decisions more quickly and provides comprehensive answers to water concerns Users can share real-time data between departments, with management and even with key customers. A built-in alarm function communicates the right information to the right people instantly. Extensive report writing capability eliminates the drudgery of compiling and writing reports. WaterNOW can even schedule reports to be ready at a future time.
The WaterNOW system works in tandem with Sensicore's WaterPOINT 870, a hand-held, wireless device that utilizes a smart sensor chip to calculate 14 different water profiles in four minutes. The system enables incremental testing, helps pinpoint the extent of contamination quickly and efficiently, and allows users to perform real-time post-event monitoring while still the field.
About WaterPOINT 870
WaterPOINT 870 profiles pH, ORP, Conductivity, Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Monochloramine, Ammonia, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, Langelier Saturation Index, Calcium, Carbon Dioxide and Temperature. An optional optical chamber adds tests for turbidity and color. WaterPOINT 870 allows users to manage scaling, water aging and cross flow/cross connection contamination problems, in addition to providing critical information about water disinfection. The system is capable of storing over 250 water profiles. Its Bluetooth communications interface enables users to download results to any lab computer or to communicate directly to the WaterNOW service via cell phone.
