Built for long-term monitoring
Installed by South Africa’s Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) in August 2021, this Obscape station has been operating continuously in the field for nearly five years with minimal maintenance and no battery replacement.
After years of autonomous operation, the first service visit was finally needed… and the result?
A simple battery change — and it’s back in action.
Long-term environmental monitoring depends on systems that keep working with minimal intervention, reducing maintenance visits, lowering operational costs, and keeping valuable data flowing.
Designed for real-world conditions, our systems are built to support reliable, low-maintenance operation over extended deployments.
Not every success story is dramatic — sometimes it’s simply returning to a site years later and finding the system still doing exactly what it was designed to do.
