DESCRIPTION:Novel Aquatech Pty Ltd is an NSW-headquartered technology compa
 ny developing and commercialising a multi-tenant IoT monitoring platform t
 hat connects purpose-built sensor devices through a gateway-enabled hub-an
 d-spoke architecture to a cloud-based SaaS application. The platform deliv
 ers real-time environmental and operational monitoring\, rules-based alert
 ing\, and actionable insights to customers across agriculture\, government
  facilities\, and indoor air quality (IAQ) management. The talk will descr
 ibe a few projects\n\n#1: Grape farming in Victoria. The platform supports
 :\n\n- Irrigation management — Real-time soil moisture and weather data 
 to optimise water use\n\n- Crop storage silo monitoring — Temperature an
 d humidity tracking to protect harvest quality\n\n- Frost management — A
 utomated alerts when field temperatures approach frost thresholds\, enabli
 ng timely intervention\n\n- Remote equipment control — Turning on/off fi
 eld equipment remotely via the platform\, reducing manual site visits\n\n[
 ]#2: Remote Infrastructure Monitoring — TVH (Queensland)\n\nNovel Aquate
 ch&#39;s platform is being trialled by TVH (tvhs.com.au)\, a company with an A
 ustralia-wide footprint\, for monitoring remote fuel and gas stations acro
 ss Queensland. This deployment validates the platform&#39;s suitability for:\n
 \n- Monitoring distributed\, unmanned infrastructure across large geograph
 ies\n\n- Providing centralised visibility into remote asset conditions\n\n
 - Reducing the need for costly manual inspections at isolated sites[].\n\n
 []#3: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) — NSW Schools and Government Buildings\n\
 nNovel Aquatech has developed and manufactured a purpose-built\, low-cost 
 IAQ sensor (the NovaSense IAQ) that is portable\, WiFi and SIM-enabled\, a
 nd produced in-house at a cost of approximately AU$150–200 per unit. A L
 oRa-enabled variant is currently under development.\n\nThe low unit cost a
 nd portability make this sensor highly attractive for large-scale rollouts
  across public infrastructure.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CH10903 - New South Wal
