As climate conditions change, the frequency and severity of floods are increasing around the world. For rural areas or remote sites, it’s a low-cost and low-maintenance way to gain control over local water flows—without complex infrastructure.

With smarter sensors and real-time data, even invisible risks can be revealed. In a recent pilot installation, a set of wireless air quality sensors helped uncover a surprising health hazard inside a modern office building.

Indoor air quality sensors are increasingly used in museums, archives, and heritage sites to safeguard artifacts. Pollutants temperature and humidity fluctuations, all threaten collections by triggering irreversible damage. As with museums and archives, real-time sensing on this ship means environmental risks can be identified before they cause damage.
