O-P-S is a corporation founded to provide cloud-based environmental monitoring solutions for agencies responsible for testing samples against mandated requirements, yet often don’t have the resources to maintain compliance with the complex regulations from the EPA and states, and are subsequently causing thousands of violations every year. Our mission is to provide solutions to support the management of public infrastructure systems (Water, Waste, Air, and Land quality) to improve national safety. For example, in the United States alone there are public drinking water systems that supply water to nearly 320 million people. In 2011 (latest data), those agencies were reported to have made 196,110 violations of the EPA regulations in regards to the Clean Drinking Water Act. OPS is designing solutions to manage the complex task of meeting regulatory requirements in harmony with daily operations integrating all levels of system operations from field samplers, laboratories, and management. This scale-able solution is capable of managing the operational needs of- Monitoring & recording hundreds of thousands of samples per day - Assimilating that data into alerts, trends, and reports to rapidly inform key personnel - Provide advisory notices, even predicting violations before they happen The core engine of our solution is being designed initially to support the entire USA water system network, with a particular focus on providing an affordable service for the vast majority of provincial agencies lacking financial and technical resources. It will then be used to manage other crucial environmental monitoring systems impacting public safety, such as solid/water/hazardous waste, air quality, and land/agricultural/farm monitoring. We believe the solutions under development will even have worldwide advantages in supporting environmental monitoring initiatives, particularly in developing countries due to its cost-effectiveness.
