Objective
The problem: water reservoir and water wells are fragmentarily managed. This causes high energy inefficiency of water pumping and provision operations and depletion of aquifers.
The solution: the Smart Water Manager - SWAM is a system composed by a set of sensors and actuators interfaced through a remote data logger to a data mining, analytics and actuation expert system.
Value Proposition: the SWAM is able to control and optimise the water pumping and the aquifer exploitation, increasing the overall energy efficiency and reducing maintenance cost of entire grids of water wells.
Business Model: Main revenue streams are the royalties on the energy savings achieved by water managers trough the SWAM system (ESCO model).
Users/Clients: Water Management Companies and Public Autorithies
Market: 20M revenues at the 3rd year after commercialization.
Competition: Specific competitors dealing with SCADA/DCS automation systems for water plants and aqueduct monitoring and innovative solution for optimising the performance of drinking water networks
Revenue Streams: royalties on the energy savings achieved by water managers trough the SWAM (ESCO model).
