Project Automation S.p.A.
Project Automation has been active for over 30 years in environmental monitoring. We collaborated on an IoT solution that ensures alerts and secure citizens against flooding.
Environmental monitoring
Our technology has proved so effective that it is now being used in other parts of Italy and southern Europe. We can make critical data become available to our customers when they need them.

The background
Increasing climate change are a crowing problem, also in Italy. Especially heavy rain showers have major consequences, where roads are being flooded and the consequences of the subsequent landslides can be catastrophic.
Project Automation is working with weather monitoring so the costly damages from floods and landslides can be prevented.
The need
Project Automation needed a data logger with the capacity to connect to many different sensors and collect and transmit crucial weather data through the radio network to the Italian authorities.
They needed a system not only robust to the weather, but also a solution with a minimal power consumption. Using alternative energy would make it possible for the system to be laid out on Sardegnas many mountains.
Our Skylark solutions arefocused on problem solving
The solution
The solution for Project Automation was our ruggedized IoT datalogger with the ability to connect many sensors at once. A low power model with a combination of solar cells and batteries as the only energy source to collect and transit crucial weather data.
The IoT solution collects data on how much it rains, the wind direction and strength and humidity. To prevent dangerous situations to occur, the system also looks at the cloud formations and high and low pressures.
The result
The result is an automatic and continuously monitoring of weather conditions. The large amount of advanced data provide different possibilities for analyzing the weather locally. With intelligent systems it will show some connections that was not possible to see before.
The result of logging weather data is that we can warn the locals about storms and hazardous weather, so they can take their precautions. It also gives insight on how to build buildings, roads and bridges that suits the new weather conditions.
