The Atom controller transforms this dam into a modern automated facility. Thanks to its compactness and multifunctionality, the device can manage all critical processes, such as:● Water level monitoring: Connected sensors continuously measure water levels in the reservoir or river. Atom receives and analyzes this data, automatically responding by opening or closing gates.● Flow regulation: During heavy rainfall or snowmelt in the mountains, the system can dynamically adjust the dam's throughput to prevent overflows and reduce flood risks.● Remote control: With Internet or local network connectivity, Atom integrates into SCADA systems or mobile applications, allowing operators to monitor the dam's status from anywhere.● Energy efficiency: The device optimizes energy use for operating mechanisms, reducing operational costs.
Engineers at i3 Engineering have also ensured Atom’s high reliability under challenging conditions. Dams are often located in remote regions where the climate can be harsh, and maintenance can be difficult. Atom is resistant to temperature fluctuations, humidity, and dust, making it an ideal solution for such tasks.
Installing this device on a dam in Albania offers several advantages:● Efficient resource management: Operators can respond more quickly to changes in weather or water demands.● Public safety: Reduced risk of accidents related to dam breaches or uncontrolled water releases.● Cost reduction: Automation lowers the need for extensive manual labor, helping local authorities save on operations.● Environmental control: The dam can operate with minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Integrating i3 Engineering devices into such facilities exemplifies how modern technologies can serve not only large industrial projects but also local initiatives that are significant for communities.
