Constellation Technologies Limited (the ‘Company’) is pleased to advise that its wholly-owned China subsidiary has been awarded the first commercial contract for its innovative Wetlands Monitoring application, developed in-house and now supported by the Company’s MeridianCT Platform.
The wetlands monitoring project provides a novel end-to-end IoT solution for remotely and autonomously monitoring vegetation health and growth, fauna activity, water quality and security for 16 micro wetland areas in the town of Anding in Beijing’s Daxing District.
Wetland areas are often established to support and form part of water treatment facilities across China, particularly in less densely populated areas, to naturally support the wastewater remediation process before treated water returns to natural water courses. To be most effective, the wetlands need active monitoring and management, which is traditionally done through manual on-site observation and sampling.
The CT1 team saw an opportunity to propose an IoT solution using video imagery, with minimal impact on the monitored environment and reduced labour time. It continually captures, processes, analyses and reports on a wide range of environmental factors relevant to managing the security of the wetlands and to understanding and benchmarking their ecological health and activity.
This solution has wide applicability in China, where wetland areas are becoming the main process for rural sewage treatment, and potentially for similar applications globally where samples and observations of environmental areas are recorded manually.
The SCADA-integrated solution provides data feeds to CT1’s MeridianCT Platform, which can also pair with and train AI algorithms to yield increasing value from the collected data over time.
The Company has also been awarded a separate, smaller SCADA integration project in Anding at a water treatment facility, similar to the SCADA integration component of previous MeridianCT projects.
These latest applications highlight the continued market adoption and the dynamism of the Company’s proprietary IoT platform to address real-world challenges and produce optimal productive and environmental outcomes.
