3SMART WATER SOLUTIONS

Every drop of water is precious for the planet and for the future of life as we know it. Waterdemand is increasing as the population grows.

Iskraemeco Smart Water Solutions address themost important challenges facing water utilities: reduction of Non-Revenue Water (NRW), improved consumer service, efficient water metering and consumption billing, asset and workforce management.

We choose a holistic approach to modern utilities' pain-points, offering technological

components and services that are tailored to meet today’s and tomorrow’s needs of advanced water networks for sustainable financial and technical operation.

We integrate end-to-end security requirements for the entire communication chain on all levels.

We deliver the whole metering and data environment as a secured unity, for which we have developed our Key Management System that represents the core of security implementation.

Smart water.

Addressing the most important challenges of modern water utilities.

Software & Services

Solution architecture.The solution package composed of an array of co-ordinated smart meters, through communications up to data management and software services for metering, billing, customer engagement, and network optimization.

Iskraemeco provides an end-to-end solution from deliveries of sensors, rollout and solution operation in 3 models of managed services: SaaS / SMaaS / laaS.

As water utilities increasingly evolve into subscrip-tion-based business models, our Smart Water solution is a perfect tool to fit this trend. We excel at water solutions from Software- as-a-Service (SaaS) to more comprehensive service agreements of Smart Metering-as-a-Service (SMaaS) and In-frastructure-as-a-Service (laaS).

Smart water meters with Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technologies and advanced analytics have become the solution’s key focus.

Sustainability.Clean and affordable water is of the highest importance for the people. We need water to sustain our lives, for sanitation & hygiene and for food pro-duction.

Water conservation and reduction of non-revenue water (NRW) are the key concerns of water utilities across Europe and worldwide. The growth of residential static metering (ultrasonic) remains one of the most interesting technology stories to follow. Today, more than 80% residential water meters are still mechanical. IoT communication has become the key focus of smart water meters. Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies are widely being explored for it.

Water utilities are increasingly adopting digital analytics platforms enabled by smart water me-ters and metering platforms. The data gathered are used to detect leaks, asses and predict con-sumption patterns in real time, and optimize water resources.

Knowing and understanding technologies and market demands, we are forming our Smart Water Solutionse to contribute to the sustainable financial and technical operation of water utilities.

Iskraemeco views sustainability as a philosophy that must be lived and embedded, not as a set of routines and guidelines to be followed as an af-terthought.

It is high time for drastic measures and Iskraeme-co holds itself, its supply chain, its partners, and the industry as a whole accountable for sweeping progress. The water issue is one of the areas where we can contribute to a better world.

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water is also UN SDG (sustainable development goal) nr. 6. and Iskraemeco is an active member of UNGC (United Nations Global Compact). With our Smart water solutions we aim to contribute to managing and sustaining water resources.

Every drop of water is precious for the planet and for the future life as we know it.
