💧 From Iota to you all... have a happy and safe festive season. 🎄 Please note our closure period. #water #innovation #technology #merrychristmas #besafe

#Lentic knows best!   Have a listen to our Director Partnerships and Strategy Emma Milburn GAICD share this great example of Lentic #data showing the presence of a #water #leak even after an inspection by a plumber was unable to find an issue.    Thanks to the persistence of a Queensland resident who continued to follow up the information (based on Lentic data) they were seeing through the GreenBe Software customer portal, the leak was eventually found under a concrete slab by a specialist leak detection service and fixed.   This is just one example, from one customer. As Emma explains, by October 2024 with 94,000 meters deployed, South East Water had saved customers 1.4 gigalitres of water, which is equivalent to $6.2million. Of those 94,000 customers, 19% were detected to have a leak.    Do you have a question about #digital water #metering at scale and the benefits it can deliver? Reach out! As proven leaders in digital water metering, we can help.   Spark IoT & Emerging Tech   #technology 

Through Iota, utilities can access #technology and #innovation developed by Victorian #water authority South East Water, which has been tested and proven across their network – technology, which is developed by water, for water. Not only that… you gain access to South East Water's learnings and have the opportunity to ask questions of an authority experienced in digital metering and other innovation transformations. This helps derisk and accelerate your own digital transformation.   One utility taking up this opportunity is Barwon Water. Recently our Customer Director David Mason GAICD and IoT Test Analyst and Support Engineer Kai James spent the day with Barwon Water’s Smart Networks Section Leader Travis Juffermans and his team in the first of a series of service management design workshops as part of our new #partnership with Barwon Water to expand their #digital metering program roll out to approximately 20 percent of their customer base over four years.   The partnership extends to leverage our meter managed services, where Iota is providing service management for our IoT platform #Lentic, including daily system and device health monitoring, over-the-air device updates and configurations, and training and educating Barwon Water employees to upskill their staff through an extended transitionary period.   Have any questions about digital metering? Reach out to us!   #collaboration  In shot are Travis Juffermans and Kai James.

Iota is excited to partner with Spark IoT & Emerging Tech to deliver #water saving solutions to communities across New Zealand.   Here our Director of Partnerships and Strategy Emma Milburn GAICD talks about how Spark has brought together the various parts of the #digital metering value chain to create an end-to-end digital metering solution for utilities and councils, and the role we play in this.  #Lentic #innovation #technology #environment #partnership

Considering digital water metering? #Digital water meters are great! They come with new pressure and vibration sensor options in addition to basis flow metering for billing. They can now provide near real time insights into a water network to facilitate detection of both customer and network side leaks, to guide proactive maintenance and investment decisions, personalised insights for enhanced customer engagement and more. Digital meters provide exponentially more data than mechanical meters. And data is great… if you’re set up to use it! If not, you become a victim of data paralysis – in other words, your information highway becomes a traffic jam! Ensure your digital metering is a success and avoid data paralysis - talk to us! #technology #water #collaboration

#FlashbackFriday to the Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) (IWN) Annual Members Conference 2024 themed Collaborative Transformation, where Jason Cotton (IWN Program Director) hosted Barwon Water’s Travis Juffermans (Smart Network’s Section Leader) and our very own David Mason GAICD (Customer Director) to discuss how a partnership between Barwon Water and Iota is exploring and integrating device and meter data management technology into Barwon Water’s Smart Networks program. This short snippet of the conversation sees Travis briefly explain how Barwon Water validated and tested the potential of this technology for their purposes. Barwon Water has partnered with Iota to integrate Lentic® device and data management and Sotto® vibration technology into its Smart Networks program to target customer and network leaks to reduce non-revenue water and improve water security. So far, it’s proving successful. Tried and tested on the South East Water network, Iota brings to the industry, technology that is developed for water, by water. 💧 💧 💧 Like what you 👀?

Hot off the press in the November edition of Utility Magazine is a feature on how Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) is approaching #digital metering to reduce #water loss, improve operations, provide customers with detailed consumption #data, minimise bill shock, and deliver better demand management outcomes.   After assessing six possible metering options, the article outlines what TRC determined was the best return on investment for their needs and how they are now scaling up to 68,000 digital meters across their network. Read all about it to find out more!   Iota is proud to be in a consortium with Optus and GreenBe Software to deliver the solution.   #innovation #technology   https://lnkd.in/gsQNMmYG

It’s #NationalWaterWeek - a time to raise awareness about the importance of #water and recognise water #innovation and achievements. To celebrate…some of the Iota team are getting ready for the Victorian water industry’s night of nights tonight - the Australian Water Association’s Vic Gala and #awards – where, in particular, we are cheering on Ninad Dharmadhikari, MIEAust Development Manager Systems, Research and Development South East Water, for being recognised as a finalist for Young Water Professional 💧 Ninad has played a key role in many of the innovations that now sit within the Iota portfolio - Tank Talk®, OneBox®, Flow Lotic™ to name but a few, with many more to come, we are sure! We wish Ninad all the very best tonight, along with all the other amazing award nominees and we thank them for their wonderful contributions to the global water industry. #technology

Another great water saving partnership is kicking off! Barwon Asset Solutions, a wholly owned subsidy of Barwon Water, has collaborated with Geelong Grammar School to install Iota’s Footprint® technology at the school. Footprint® is a smart metering platform that provides visibility of water consumption in near real time. It detects when water flows are outside normal range, and customers are notified of potential leaks or abnormal water use so these can be investigated and corrected, saving precious water and money. We can’t wait to see the results of this new partnership! #water #innovation #technology
