Quix approached Smart Metering with a challenge: they needed a way to monitor water consumption for a chiller tower top-up system. Without a real-time monitoring solution, potential leaks could go unnoticed for days or weeks, leading to significant water waste and operational inefficiencies.
The Problem
- No real-time leak detection – Water leaks were only discovered after manual checks or unexpectedly high water bills.
- Operational inefficiencies – Staff had to manually inspect meters, wasting valuable time.
- Delayed response times – Without automated alerts, leaks could persist for extended periods before being addressed.
The Solution
Smart Metering provided a fully automated Industrial Leak Detection system that:
✅ Continuously monitors water usage in real-time
✅ Automatically detects abnormal consumption patterns
✅ Sends instant alerts if water usage exceeds or falls below a user-defined threshold within 24 hours
The solution was implemented using Smart Metering’s cloud-based platform, allowing Quix to track their water consumption remotely, eliminate unnecessary waste, and respond to leaks before they become costly issues.
The Results
✅ Immediate Alerts – Quix now receives real-time notifications when usage deviates from expected levels.
✅ Significant Cost Savings – Faster leak detection prevents excessive water bills and wasted resources.
✅ Sustainability Gains – More efficient water use contributes to environmental conservation.
✅ Seamless Integration – The system works with both existing meters and Smart Metering’s NB-IoT-enabled smart meters.
Key Takeaways
Quix’s success demonstrates how Smart Metering’s Industrial Leak Detection system provides businesses with cost-effective, proactive water management solutions. Whether for industrial operations, commercial buildings, or multi-tenant properties, our system ensures efficiency, sustainability, and reduced operational costs.
