Senix has released a whitepaper examining how ultrasonic sensors, combined with intelligent monitoring software, can support more effective flood detection and waterway management. The paper outlines the challenges posed by climate change and urban development, and how sensor-driven systems can deliver real-time water level data to improve safety, resilience, and planning.
According to the publication, ultrasonic sensors offer non-contact, low-maintenance monitoring suitable for a range of environments including rivers, lakes, roadways, and coastal zones. When paired with cloud-based software platforms, they enable rapid alerts, trend analysis, and integration with wider infrastructure systems. The approach is positioned as a scalable and cost-effective alternative to traditional monitoring methods.
The paper also emphasizes future developments in the field, such as the use of AI for predictive modeling, integration with satellite and aerial data, and mobile deployment options. These advances are presented as part of a shift from reactive emergency response to proactive water management strategies aimed at reducing risk to communities and infrastructure.
