launched: 2019 | status: Implemented | Applicable for Rural Areas
Solution Summary
Single solution to track water consumption and detect and quantify water loss. No on-site visits required. Simple and straightforward to deploy and operate. All needed tools are in the platform. Return of investment is 2 to 5 years.
Key Benefits
Problem
Majority of water utilities struggle to track water consumption.
In most cases water consumption tracking requires manual inspection of water meters, which is laborious and expensive and leads to constantly rising operational costs.
Moreover, consumption data is usually incorrect as collectors cannot physically check all meters. This leads to out-of-date information, incorrect water bills, disputes with users over bills.
On top of that, that data inconsistency it preventing water utilities detec and decrease water loss, thus hidden leaks remain hidden, increasing the non-revenue water in an era of water scarcity.
Aim
Empower water utilities to remotely track water consumption, detect and quantify water loss, improve operational efficiency, and pinpoint high-return rehabilitation activities.
Spatial Level
Approach
A complete solution consisting of Remote Water Meter Reader and a Real-time Data Visualization and Analytics platform.
The Remote Water Meter Reader makes every pulse water meter smart to empower
cost-efficient remote water meter reading (via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT). It connects to any type of pulse water meter regardless of vendor or pulse generation frequency. It ensures high reliability and long lifetime to protect customer investment (even comes with a replaceable battery) and provides effortless multi-platform integration utilizing standard protocols.
The Real-time Data Visualization and Analytics platform empowers the water utility to remotely track water consumption city-wide, track non-revenue water per DMA, track water consumption trends, detect outlier events, detect and quantify water loss, and export consumption data for monthly billing purpose. Moreover, if you prefer - you can always use your own data platform!
