Applications
Besides developing products and services, Munisense also handles the operational processes to keep applications running, like network monitoring and maintenance. We also develop OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) products. Please find some examples of our projects below:
The city of Leuven in Belgium limits noise nuisances from nightlife for its citizens and prevent damage to the hearing of the nightlife participants. The city has issued regulations that require establishments that play loud music to limit the sound levels and monitor these levels continuously. Munisense supplied the noise monitoring system to about 100 establishments and provides their management and the city with compliance data. The system consists of a sound meter, a display that shows the real-time sound levels, and an on-line portal to view violations and historical data. For more information please see www.horecasense.nl (in Dutch).
The Wareco Water Data (WWD) is a turn-key service from Wareco Ingenieurs in the field of managing groundwater networks and monitoring groundwater during construction and replacing sewer lines.
Our equipment, cloud platform and services is Wareco's added value to their engineering services.
Noise monitoring in combinatie met nudging technieken heeft geluidsoverlast voor bewoners in het uitgaansgebied van Leuven sterk gereduceerd.
Onze noise monitoring stations (geluidmeters) die naast alle
gebruikelijke geluidparameters ook geluidsherkenning leverden werden gekoppeld aan nudging systemen. Het ingestelde geluidniveau in combinatie met gedefinieerde
geluidherkenningsparameters werd
gebruikt als trigger voor een scala aan nudging technieken.
Het meest effectief bleken de nudging boodschappen die direct op straat werden geprojecteerd aan de overlast veroorzaker(s).
Deze lichtprojecties zorgden voor een verlaging van de geluidsoverlast
met 30%. Deze slimme technologie helpt de Leuvenaars aan een betere nachtrust en een gezonder leefklimaat.
News
De afgelopen maanden hebben we weer een aantal grondwaternetwerken aan onze database mogen toevoegen. Na Haarlem kozen ook Zundert, het Hoogheemraadschap de Stichtse Rijnlanden en Papendrecht voor waterdata van onze grondwatermeters.
Zo koos Gemeente Zundert er voor om het beheer en onderhoud van hun grondwaternetwerk door ons te laten uitvoeren. Het Hoogheemraadschap de Stichtse Rijnlanden gunde Socotec/Munisense het beheer en onderhoud voor de ruim 300 grondwatermeetpunten. Daarnaast besloot Papendrecht om te blijven vertrouwen op onze waterdata.
Binnenkort installeren wij de eerste telemetrische grondwatermeters in Zundert en zal onze veldwerkpartner Socotec dit voor HDSR gaan doen.
IB Land zal het beheer en onderhoud in Papendrecht blijven verzorgen.
We installed a noise display for the Province of North Holland along the Hilversumseweg (N525) in Laren. With this measure, the Province of North Holland wants to reduce noise pollution from loud vehicles. The LED screen warns drivers when their vehicle is making too much noise.
Residents living near the N525 in Laren called on the Province to take action against noise pollution caused by excessively loud vehicles. They indicated that at times there is unacceptable noise pollution.
Our advanced noise monitoring station measures the noise level along the N525 day and night, and triggers the LED display when the measured value of a vehicle exceeds the preset noise level.This makes road users aware of their behavior and encourages them to drive more slowly, avoid unnecessary noise and not accelerate too fast.
Mid December 2024, Vodafone and KPN indicated that they would keep their 2G network online for two years longer than planned. The providers initially planned to take their networks offline on December 1, 2025, but have pushed the date back to December 1, 2027.
We already took action at the beginning of 2023 because these types of processes are inherently problematic. And because no policy can be made based on suspicions, as soon as the date of December 1, 2025 was set, we warned our customers and offered a future-proof alternative.
Although even the date of December 1, 2027 can still be pushed back, this is becoming less and less likely. After all, the spectrum that becomes available is worth much more for LTE-M than for GPRS. The switch-off date in other countries is even further in the future (2030).
Of course we now have an excellent successor: the LV8.
This works with LTE-M and roaming SIMs from Deutsche Telekom. The LV8 can last up to 25 years.
What now with LV4 and LV5?
No worries! Because our
digital service will continue to exist for all working LV4 or LV5 water
meters, as long as they will have sufficient 2G coverage.
However, the LV4s are no longer repaired but recycled.
Until the end of 2027 we will continue to repair your LV5s.
Furthermore, the batteries for both LV4 and LV5 water meters will remain available until the end of 2027.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this.
Switch to LTE-M
To ensure a smooth transition to the LV8 (with 4G/5G LTE-M), a discount will be applicable during 2025 and 2026 on the purchase of the future-proof LV8 when replacing LV5 water meters.
Contact us at sales@munisense.com. We are happy to advise you on the smartest (and cheapest) way to switch.
Overigens zijn wij tussen de feestdagen door gewoon bereikbaar.
In vervolg op de eerdere projecten bouwen Leuven en Gent verder in "Nudging down night noise".
De twee grootste studentensteden gaan op verschillende locaties het nachtlawaai meten en herkennen om een breed zicht te krijgen op nachtelijke geluidsoverlast. Hiervoor wordt een geluidsherkenningsmodel gebruikt.
Daarnaast zoeken beide steden ook naar een gemeenschappelijke basis om nachtlawaai te meten en te beschrijven. Stad Gent legt hiervoor de objectieve data uit de metingen van onze noise monitoring stations naast de akoestische modellering.
Bovendien gaan beide steden nachtlawaai preventief aanpakken met nudgingtechnieken. Leuven kijkt naar de opschaling van de projecties en het aansturen van de openbare verlichting. Daarnaast worden ook nieuwe nudgingtechnieken onderzocht.
Beide steden gaan, naast de objectieve data uit de metingen, aan de slag met subjectieve data van bewoners over geluidsoverlast.
