The Plant Operations Smartphone Tracker (POST) team is charged with building a Plant Operations Smartphone Tracker (POST) for tracking mobile application which tracks water quality data from our AguaClara's eleven rural treatment plants in Honduras. As part of the first AguaClara POST team, we will:

• Use the latest tools, including: NodeJS, Java, and MySQL
• Help make critical design decisions that will affect the further development of POST for years to come
• Serve a real need in Honduras alongside the rest of the AguaClara team

The app will This tool, implemented as an Android phone application, will be built from start to minimal viable product (MVP) during the spring semester and implemented in Honduras in early summer. Some of the challenges will be to:

Team challenges include building a robust data-capture system that works seamlessly with intermittent internet

connections, designing an intuitive

interface that displays plant performance data to operators

, connecting the app to a custom-built Bluetooth turbidimeter

, and providing detailed recommendations for future improvements

This project will become a core part of AguaClara technology and may eventually be used throughout the world to track water treatment plant operations.
