Open source initiative website app For over 20 years the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has worked to raise awareness and adoption of open source software, and build bridges between open source communities of practice. As a global non-profit, the OSI champions software freedom in society through education, collaboration, and infrastructure, stewarding the Open Source Definition (OSD), and preventing abuse of the ideals and ethos inherent to the open source movement. Open source software is made by many people and distributed under an OSD-compliant license which grants all the rights to use, study, change, and share the software in modified and unmodified form. Software freedom is essential to enabling community development of open source software.

The BGMobile App enables users to connect to the BG4 controller for instant access of system status, download and share data, view graphed data, and change the BG4 controller settings. Effectively monitoring biofilm growth in water systems can enhance capacity and reduce cost. Structural Integrity Associates’ BG4 Biofilm Growth Detector paired with the BGMobile App, encompasses real-time monitoring for added assurance. Benefits include reductions in chemical costs, environmental impact and corrosion rates. Key features of the BGMobile App include: -INSTANT ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEM’S STATUS- Upon connecting, the user will instantly see the status of the BG4 controller to be assured the water system is clean (green status) or warned by a triggered IAPP or IGEN alarm (red status) that biofilm activity is on the rise and a chemical biocide treatment may be warranted. -DOWNLOAD AND GRAPH DATA LOGS- Further analysis can be done by downloading data logs from the BG4 controller and viewing data graphs directly on the BGMobile App. The data trends in the graphs will help the user understand when biofilm activity begins to increase or decrease, thereby enabling users to optimize the chemical biocide treatment program of water systems impacted by biofilm growth. -SHARE DATA LOGS- Data is shareable to whomever the user chooses. Use the BGMobile App to easily attach data logs as a .txt file to an email or send through any other App that can store or send .txt files. Share your BG4 controller data logs with Structural Integrity Associates and we can help you optimize your chemical biocide treatment program to protect your assets and reduce chemical costs. -MANAGE THE BG4 CONTROLLER SETTINGS- Use the BGMobile App to change the settings of the BG4 controller while remotely in the field. Reset the baselines, specify polarization cycle parameters, and change the BG4 controller’s IAPP, IGEN and Rate of Change Alarm set points to customize how your BG4 Controller monitors biofilm activity in your water system.
