Remote environmental monitoring solutions keep industries safe, efficient and productive — with mission critical connectivity, sensor data and alerts

Industries ranging from oil and gas production to water management to agriculture use Digi IoT technology to transmit data on environmental conditions and monitor the safety and performance of machines and systems.

24/7 reliability

Around-the-clock environmental monitoring requires reliable failover solutions that can switch from a disrupted wired connection to an always-on, high-speed cellular connection automatically.

Monitor conditions – anywhere

Accurate monitoring is essential for proactive decision making and management. Get alerts in real time, 24/7/365, to prevent hazards from becoming disasters. Whether your sensors are local or remote, Digi has you covered.

Save on data costs

Companies can save money on data costs by transmitting only data that needs a response. That‘s the advantage of environmental monitoring solutions with edge computing capabilities.

Pollution Monitoring
Pollution Monitoring

Sensors installed to record emissions of pollutants can be connected to other sensors through mesh networks and to centralized data collection sites using Digi technology.

Pipeline Leak Monitoring
Pipeline Leak Monitoring

Finding one leak in miles of pipeline can be a serious challenge. Flow meters connected to Digi XBees can transmit data wirelessly through Digi routers to alert engineers and site managers to the precise location of the problem.

Water Quality
Water Quality Monitoring

Pesticide and herbicide runoff from farm fields and other agricultural sites needs to be monitored to prevent pollution of streams, rivers and groundwater. Reliable, low-maintenance Digi XBee radios transmit data from remote sensors for alerts and data logging.

Avalanche Sensors
Avalanche Sensors

Seismic sensors linked with Digi XBee modules can be placed near railroad tracks or roads in mountainous areas. They can detect vibrations that indicate possible avalanches or land movements that could derail a train or make roads impassable.

Hazardous Liquid and Gas Detection
Hazardous Liquid and Gas Detection

Sensors posted throughout oil production facilities can detect toxic H2S gas and other harmful chemical discharges. Data collected using XBee radios and transmitted through Digi gateways can ensure that facilities are always operating within regulatory parameters.

Lift Station Monitoring
Lift Station Monitoring

Lift stations for moving sewage need constant monitoring. Leaks or overflows can result in severe environmental damage and serious fines for the company or agency responsible. Real-time lift station monitoring keeps wastewater collection and treatment systems running smoothly and safely.
