Human-Computer Interaction in IoT System for Water Tank Monitoring and Controlling

Building scalable infrastructure capable of processing large amounts of data from remote IoT devices is a significant challenge in industry today. This article examines one solution to this problem through a case study of Meadowlark Solution’s extensive IoT network. Meadowlark Solutions designs, produces and deploys the Tank Toad, a remote water management device for agriculture. Livestock producers need to check water storage levels and operate pumps to effectively care for livestock. The Tank Toad automates the task of data collection and remote control, reducing workload and drive time. Information flows in both directions, giving the customer real-time authority over the water supply. The system as a whole, including remote devices, endpoints, data storage, dashboard elements, information distribution and customer interaction, is described below.
