Leveraging IoT Technology for Building Smart Sanitation SolutionsMONITOR, OPERATE, AND ANALYZE WITH FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTIVE DATA COMMUNICATION

SUMMARY• Sanitation solutions need to capture data• Data must make the journey from sensor

to storage• The “Internet of Things” (IoT) revolution

offers us valuable tools

LESSONS LEARNED• Sanitation operations are significantly improved by data capture and

analysis• The IoT revolution continues to give us new tools we can leverage• Zigbee has become the short-range, low power communication

standard• AWS Greengrass can greatly simplify the capture and transmit problem• Tools such as AWS IoT analytics can assist organizations that need to

ingest, store, and analyze large quantities of data

CHALLENGE• Biomass Controls is developing the next generation of its kelv˚n software• Data is generated by field sensors• How to capture it locally and process for adaptive controls?• How to transmit information to permanent storage?• How to analyze data and generate meaningful information?• How not to spend a fortune developing custom software?

Jeff Wong is responsible for the company’s kelv°n information technology which includes sensors, microcontrollers, edge computing, cloud computing, and mobile applications. Biomass Controls is currently using IoT technology to update its solutions.
