Journey to Net Zero using OpenSmartMonitor

At Devtank we are focused on sustainability and helping to build a circular economy. We are already installing energy management systems into businesses and local authorities, with our product Open Smart Monitor (ENV01). A single wireless LoRaWAN based sensor can measure multiple parameters including:

• Temperature

• Humidity

• Air Quality

• Light level

• Sound Levels

• Water Consumption

• Gas Consumption

• Electricity Consumption

• Carbon Emissions

In this talk we will present the journey to realise an open hardware, software and data solution. This includes the recent work we have done with Dr Brunno Gallotta and the University of Derby Decarbonise team to deploy into local businesses with a live demo of several smart factories.
