Remote monitoring is a critical tool in protecting our communities and environments – with smart solutions available to allow a continuous flow of near-real-time monitoring data. Beyond that, these technologies act as a warning system to help keep our communities safer in times of natural disaster. In this deep-dive session, Philippe Boulanger from Spark NZ / Adroit will show how councils can move from reactive and ad-hoc approaches to monitoring their environments to proactive and continuous using proven technologies already deployed across Aotearoa.

Drawing on case studies from flood detection, water quality monitoring, and construction site monitoring, the session will demonstrate how real-time data improves operational resilience, community safety, and environmental outcomes. Technologies like Adroit’s Water Level monitors, their range of Water Quality sondes and Smart Monitoring solutions - powered by Spark’s IoT network - are already helping councils across New Zealand meet their environmental goals and industry clients meet their consent objectives.
