ENMO®hydro stands for the latest developments in dynamic, continuous and automated water monitoring and thus makes an important contribution to the early detection of accidents or incidents and the assessment of potential hazards. ENMO®hydro goes far beyond what other competitors can offer in terms of mapping all workflows relevant to water monitoring as well as the options for data evaluation, export and visualisation.
ENMO®hydro is a software system for the efficient control of automated water quality monitoring networks. The new development takes dynamic, continuous water monitoring to another level: ENMO®hydro utilises the findings of the last 20 years and offers new possibilities in an innovative software environment.
The functionality of the 100% web-based multi-tier system includes workflows for the automatic collection of event samples and for quality assurance, the management and control of equipment in the measuring stations, numerous options for data evaluation, visualisation and export as well as a notification system.
ENMO®hydro consists of three components:
ENMO® Site continuously collects the measured values as well as status and fault messages from the connected measuring systems in the measuring stations. The data records are temporarily stored in the ENMO® Site computers and then transmitted to the ENMO® server via the Internet. With the optionally available ENMO® IT SEES plug-in, the data undergoes an anomaly detection process and an alarm index is automatically created, which simplifies the rapid assessment of the current water situation.
The measured values and status messages from all monitoring stations are collected in a monitoring network centre and stored in an Oracle database. The ENMO® server analyses the incoming data immediately - if the alarm index indicates a conspicuous water condition, the responsible person is automatically notified via SMS and email. At the same time, a workflow for analysing automatically collected event samples from the measuring stations is set in motion.
Everything at a glance
The modern, intuitive ENMO® Client interface can be used to compare, analyse and validate the transmitted data sets - a wide range of tools are available for this purpose.
The ENMO® Client can be configured with little effort in such a way that the respective processor can quickly gain an overview of all the measured variables required to assess the water quality. The ENMO® Client is also used to manage equipment, master data, access rights and the schedule, including maintenance routines. So that collected data can be presented without great effort, the ENMO® Client provides for the export of vector graphics, Excel documents and bitmap graphics - the layout is also retained during export.
Water quality monitoring network Hamburg 1
ENMOhydro was developed in co-operation with the Institute for Hygiene and Environment in Hamburg. The result of this collaboration was the combination of the software development expertise of a leading provider in the field of laboratory data information systems and the tried and tested knowledge of an institute in the field of water quality measurement.
The Hamburg Water Quality Monitoring Network of the Institute for Hygiene and Environment has been involved in automatic measurements at water quality stations for many decades, both in various research projects and in day-to-day measurement routines. This involves monitoring the quality of the surface waters of the Elbe and its tributaries in the Hamburg area. The aim of the monitoring is to observe changes in water quality, prevent accidents and provide early warning.
Over a period of around 30 years, a close-knit network of measuring stations has been set up to continuously record chemical and physical parameters (oxygen content, conductivity, pH value, etc.). Four measuring stations are equipped with a biological early warning system: With algae and daphnia oximeters, the water quality monitoring network has resources for biological effect monitoring. Automatic sampling ensures that samples are always available for detailed further analysis in the laboratory if anomalies are detected.
The work of the water quality monitoring network is also exemplary in terms of transparency and information policy: the measured values are made available to the public on a daily basis via the Gateway Hamburg portal.
