AHA 2016 Campbell Update 4th Quarter 2016

AHA CONFERENCE

Steve Bailey, Gavin Hewitt and David Hammond recently attended the biennial Australian Hydrographers Association (AHA) Conference in Canberra.

As always the AHA Conference provides a valuable opportunity to network with the hydrographer community, catch up with old contacts and discuss new topics in the water industry.

The conference was the first time CSA has exhibited our new logger, the CR300/310 and also our Internet of Things (IoT) platform Altoview. Attendees were exited to learn more about both products and it was great to discuss many new applications that could utilise a small powerful logger or an IoT solution.

During the conference many presentations discussed the IoT, its history, emerging technologies and how an IoT solution could be used in hydrological applications. David Hammond presented an overview of CSA’s IoT solution, AltoView and how it is being used to provide an IoT network in Townsville.

AHA also introduced Technical Workshops which gave exhibitors an opportunity to showcase products, services or a unique application. Gavin Hewitt introduced the CR300 & CR310 dataloggers for CSA. The workshop provided attendees with the CR300 specification, advantages over existing loggers and ideas for future applications. The WiFi option was also a highlight with many attendees visiting the CSA booth to discuss applications where the CR300 and WIFI could be utilized. The technical workshops were a great addition to the conference and CSA will be looking forward to the next AHA in 2018.
