Smart IoT sensors monitor water tank levels across Moreton Bay saving ratepayers and optimising operations
Today, Optus Enterprise and Myriota have partnered with Queenslands Moreton Bay Regional Council to deploy ground-breaking Internet of Things (IoT) satellite water tank sensors that will monitor the level of water in outdoor water tanks, eliminating the need to send staff to remote locations for manual checks. The inefficient solution required one staff member per day per week to monitor waters levels.
Moreton Bay Regional Council is the first council in Australia to deploy this unique method of remote monitoring, which provides near real time data of actual water levels via low earth orbit satellites, enabling the Council to make informed decisions about water usage, solve problems caused by unexpected water shortages and optimise operations and resources.
