Development and Evaluation of a Modular Multi-Sensor System for Comprehensive Water Quality Analysis

Sammanfattning

This study addresses the challenges faced by industries requiring precise water quality monitoring by developing and evaluating a modular multi-sensor system. Existing solutions often lack scalability and flexibility, necessitating multiple devices for comprehensive analysis. The methodology employed a recursive prototype development approach, integrating various hardware and software components, including microcontrollers and a user-friendly mobile application. The prototype facilitated real-time data acquisition and management through a dedicated server, supporting essential water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, and conductivity. Results indicate that the system significantly enhances measurement accuracy and operational efficiency. However, the implementation of a smart home connectivity standard was unsuccessful, highlighting the complexities associated with integrating new communication protocols. Despite this, the system offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for continuous water quality monitoring, presenting significant improvements over existing technologies in terms of flexibility, user engagement, and data reliability.
