Field testing of DL-PR21

Our latest newsletter extensively covered the EU-funded DiVES project at the Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius, in collaboration with the University of Jyväskylä. The project aims to explore the advantages of automated measurement methods compared to manual field measurements. As part of the project, Decentlab's DL-PR26 & DL-PR36 sensors underwent comprehensive testing. Furthermore, the DL-PR21 | Pressure / Liquid Level and Temperature Sensor with G1/4'' Pipe Thread for LoRaWAN was recently tested, leading to significant insights.

The development of IoT technology enables the integration of monitoring devices into water production facilities. LoRaWAN-based devices, such as the DL-PR21, offer system-independent capabilities for flexible data collection.

The DiVES project focuses on pressure monitoring at the Veteli waterworks using the DL-PR21 sensor. The sensor transmits water temperature, pressure, and battery voltage every 10 minutes. Measurement intervals can be adjusted remotely via the LoRa network.

The data is sent through a LoRa connection to the project's network server, which then directs the information to the DiVES platform. Visualizations and alarms based on predefined limits are generated, enhancing monitoring efficiency and providing valuable insights for operators. This represents a significant step toward smarter and more effective water infrastructure!
