ADS® Announces ForeSITE™ UL Ultrasonic Monitoring System That Is Fully Compatible With The ADS PRISM™ Software Suite

ADS Environmental Services® has announced release of its new ForeSITE™ ultrasonic sensor for remote, non-contact monitoring of water levels in a variety of applications. The FS-UL system provides cost-effective, easy-to-setup, reliable monitoring for surface water, stormwater, canals & channels, and flood control requirements.

ForeSITE UL is designed for direct mounting above the water surface and provides measurements at user-prescribed intervals with +0.04 inches (+1 mm) accuracy.  Data is logged and stored in non-volatile flash memory and then communicated via cellular infrastructure with support for CAT-M1 and NB-IoT networks and standards-based data protocols to assure host compatibility.

The ForeSITE UL remote system includes the fully integrated and stabilized ultrasonic sensor, high performance antenna, mounting bracket, and installation kit accessories. Also included is start-up software for rapid configuration and cloud-based software for data capture and communications. Depending on measurement intervals and communications frequency the remote ForeSITE UL unit’s long-life battery can exceed five years.

Full compatibility with the ADS PRISM™ suite of cloud-based, end-to-end software for aggregation, visualization, and analysis enables users to easily integrate ForeSITE UL sensor data readings into their overall collection system management processes. PRISM provides near real-time information to system operators for enabling data-driven decision making, along with dynamic analytical functions that inform new discoveries to enhance ongoing system effectiveness.

The addition of ForeSITE UL to the industry-leading ADS family of Collection System Management solutions is another major step forward in our ongoing mission to provide customers with an unprecedented set of interoperable remote monitoring sensors and end-to-end analytics capabilities.

As with all ADS solutions, ForeSITE UL offers a range of different support options, from self-installation to full turnkey installation, monitoring, and data analytics services. This gives system operators optimal flexibility for managing their collection infrastructure in a manner that best fits their goals, budget, and staffing situations.
