As the costs associated with monitoring remote assets and situations that fall under Local Government responsibility increase, councils are looking for ways of saving staff time and vehicle expenses.
RMTeK Pty Ltd has developed a solution that will assist with reducing overheads and increasing productivity.
Using its Solar Remote Vision and Data, the company is currently working with Gosford City Council in monitoring remote stream flows in the upper reaches of the City’s catchment.
Using state of the art Solar IP Camera installations that communicate wirelessly, Council is now receiving images and weather station data on a daily basis, eliminating the 30 kilometre drive to the site.
The system can equally be used to monitor skate parks, recycling depots, causeways, all without the need for power and wires.
Sporting fields lighting and irrigation control
Aside from visual monitoring, RMTeK is also supplying switching and control solutions that enable SMS and web control of lighting and irrigation systems on council controlled sporting fields and open space.
Using this system means that instead of issuing keys to lighting boxes, a council registers mobile phone numbers for sporting club representatives (and council staff) so that the clubs simply SMS the lights to turn them on and off. The system is highly configurable to easily manage different situations such as the changeover stage where one club finishes training and a new club starts.
Alongside lighting control, automating legacy management systems for irrigation can drastically reduce staff time in having to travel to the fields to monitor and manage the process. As a result, irrigation timing is more accurate and will assist with improving water use efficiency.
