Hamburg\u2019s IoT pilot project, launched in March 2016, was initiated to record the emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and fine dust using sensors at various locations at the port.<\/p>\n
“The IoT pilot project has been very successful for us,” said Ulrich Baldauf, head of IT strategy at HPA.<\/p>\n
“We have been able to measure numerous parameters of air pollution live, eg the emission of particulate matter of particle size PM2.5 and PM10, or, in some cases, even nitrogen dioxides, which generally account for only 10 billionths of the total air. The Kii platform enabled us to collect the various data sources in a uniform manner and to prepare them for analysis.”<\/p>\n
The technical management of the project was carried out by Kii in partnership with AQMesh, a manufacturer of air quality measuring devices.<\/p>\n
Emission values were collected centrally over the Kii IoT platform and prepared for analysis over a period of three months. This allowed the HPA to analyse the air quality at different locations in the port and, above all, test the functionality of different environmental sensors.<\/p>\n
The sensors also provided data on temperature, air pressure or humidity, which were incorporated in later analyses by the HPA.<\/p>\n
All recorded sensor data was sent to the Kii IoT Platform via a gateway that the sensors talked to wirelessly. The Kii platform collected the data, prepared it and made it available to HPA employees for analysis via APIs and on an intuitive web dashboard.<\/p>\n
Using IoT to reduce emissions is one of the new solutions being developed and tested by the port authority, with the dual goal of not only measuring pollution but also identifying and tackling the sources of air pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
