Traditionally, cities and towns have relied on fixed air quality monitoring stations to measure pollution levels in specific areas. However, IoT technology offers a more cost-effective, scalable, and flexible approach, vastly improving air quality monitoring over traditional fixed solutions.
Manx Technology Group has developed a school CO2 monitoring platform that combines battery-powered wireless sensors with an easy-to-use online dashboard. High levels of CO2 in the classroom can significantly impair decision making and cognitive performance.
The ability to remotely monitor river and stream levels is crucial for effective water management and reducing the impact of flooding and environmental hazards. Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, continuous monitoring of river or creek levels in multiple locations has become more accessible and efficient. With real-time data transmitted wirelessly, stakeholders can
Transportation has become critical for reducing carbon emissions as businesses become increasingly committed to sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. By promoting active travel options like walking and cycling, companies can reduce their carbon footprint and promote healthier lifestyles among employees. However, data collection and data-driven decisions can be challenging without the right
A recent report from campaign group Mums for Lungs and environmental charity Possible has highlighted the impact of air pollution on children. Pollution intensifies around schools at drop-off times, with NO2 levels up to 5x higher than usual. IoT sensors can help education leaders, schools and councils measure air quality, particulates and NO2 levels. The
Location marketing tends to focus on employment opportunities, local scenery, commute times, broadband speeds and public service performance – however, there is a growing interest and awareness of the importance of air quality and pollution on health. With the emergence of air quality monitoring systems and IoT technologies, the availability of data relating to air
We regularly speak to customers who have a requirement to measure turbidity levels in water supplies, rivers and other bodies of water. IoT is a powerful and cost-effective way to measure turbidity and transmit the results for analysis, visualisation and reporting. Turbidity is the loss of transparency, cloudiness or haziness of fluid due to the
It is widely recognised that poor air quality and high levels of particulates can significantly impact an individual’s health. The WHO estimates that 7 million people die each year from exposure to fine particles in polluted air. A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has confirmed the association between short-term exposure
IoT sensors can be used for remote borehole monitoring of water levels/depth, water temperature, and parameters such as pH and turbidity. Real-time monitoring coupled with LoRaWAN and cloud technology means data can be transmitted 15KM wirelessly or anywhere in the world using low-power satellite technologies.
The ongoing threat of climate change has reinforced the need to measure river flow rates accurately. Today, river flow (also known as streamflow) can be monitored remotely using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors that measure both water velocity and level. This technology provides real-time insights and alerts—even from the most remote environments.
Manx Technology Group (MTG) and Rural Business Consultancy (RBC) will be undertaking technology trials in the Isle of Man, exploring the use of Smart Farm technologies with farms and food producers. Using Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the initial trials will be focused on soil nutrient analysis (NPK), livestock monitoring, drone crop analysis, and asset
Computer Science Degree (BSc) students have completed the first IoT project at the University College Isle of Man (UCM). As part of the Experiential Learning module, the project seen students work with real clients to deliver a project within 6-weeks. Through the IoT partnership with UCM, Manx Technology Group (MTG) provided the students with Libelium
