web platform, that receives the data sent by the smart buoy and,
after treatment it in backoffice, provides that data almost in real-time
in an online portal with qualified access, accessible via any device
with an Internet connection.
Location
The monitoring of the physicochemical and biological parameters mentioned above is made throughout
the entire water column, from the surface to the bed. The smart buoy possesses a truly innovative
and automatic system of warning in case of risk for public health, which is activated whenever any
of the physicochemical or biological parameters ascend to previously defined values.
The e-Buoy could be an important and useful tool for the entities related to water quality,
as it constantly and automatically monitors several
physicochemical and biological parameters, important to
assert that quality. In addition, the e-Buoy provides
tools for authorities and entities to define a
strategy based on prevention.
