    For more than 135 years, we at OTT have been focused on everything that relates torecording, measuring and analyzing. However, it is not just the data we deliver thats right

    on the mark, but also our basic values, such as quality consciousness, innovation and

    customer proximity.

    The consistent implementation of these values has allowed OTT to evolve into one of the

    worlds largest manufacturers of hydrometric systems. Whether water level, flow or

    precipitation measurement, OTT devices belong there. The product range is sensibly

    complemented with the high quality and proven HYDROLAB multiparameter sondes,

    which cover the area of water quality measurement.

    OTT and HYDROLAB have been combined in the OTT Hydromet group since 2009. Joint

    ideals and a high expectation of their own performance constitute the basis of this synergy.

    Together with global co-subsidiaries and agents OTT Hydromet provides intell igent and

    ultra-modern solutions for measuring tasks related to surface water, groundwater and

    precipitation to customers in more than 90 countries. Our applications include everything

    from individual sensors to nationwide measuring networks always tailored precisely to

    the specific local requirements.

    Everything that has always been essential: innovation and customer proximity

    As time goes by: a story of lasting success

    In 1873, after completing his studies of geodesy and gathering professional experience in

    Munich, Vienna, Berlin, London and Milan, Albert Ott, a native of Nesselwang (Allgu)established his "Mathematisch-Mechanisches Institut A.OTT" in Kempten, Germany.

    Even the very first measuring device he developed a current meter dating back to 1875

    set international standards thanks to its outstanding quality and precision. This is still true

    for all OTT Hydrmet products today. OTTs Universal Current Meter C31, for instance, is

    the tool of choice hydrologists around the world count on when measuring discharge. Yet

    it is only one of innumerable milestones OTT Hydromets engineers and technicians

    achieved in the course of several decades.

    PLS: Pressure Level Sensor

    SE 200: Shaft Encoder 200

    The float-operated OTT SE 200 shaft encoder was developed based on the proven

    technology of the OTT Thalimedes. A float-cable-counterweight system conveys the

    change in water level to the float pulley of the sensor. The rotational movement caused as

    a result of this is converted to an electrical signal, thereby determining the corresponding

    measurement value.

    Large, constantly growing measurement networks monitor groundwater and surface

    water quantities and qualities. Some of the data is being utilized in long-term prognoses

    and monitoring. In addition, however, short-term prognoses are gaining importance for highwater modeling and for public notification. A dense measurement network is required for

    this, which makes acquired data available online. The logistics involved are usually very

    complex from a technical and human resource point of view, and translate into a consider-

    able financial burden for network operators.

    OTT netView provides exactly the right solution for this. OTT netView is a web-based data

    management platform for saving environmental measurement data and presenting it on the

    web. Using the http protocol, stations can send their data via GPRS or DSL directly to a

    web server where they are saved in an SQL database. Data can then be accessed by

    simply using a standard web browser.
