Smart Water Management System with Battery-Operated Devices
Introduction
The Smart Water Management System (SWMS) plays a vital role in optimizing the measurement, monitoring, and conservation of water resources across residential, commercial, and industrial inf rastructures. It enables utilities and organizations to maintain a balanced water supply network by tracking flow, pressure, and level conditions throughout the distribution system.
In many areas, inconsistent power availability and reliance on manual observation create gaps in water system visibility and efficiency. These challenges often lead to delayed responses, water losses, and higher operational costs due to insufficient data collection and monitoring inf rastructure.
SBEM’s Smart Water Management System with battery-operated devices provides a fully self-powered, IoT-enabled monitoring solution designed for efficient and data acquisition per interval. By integrating battery-operated level transmitters, pressure transmitters, and flow meters with SBEM’s IoT Web App (SenSphere) and Configurable Mobile App (SensLink), the system enables wireless telemetry communication, and secure cloud-based access, empowering users to monitor distributed assets, analyze consumption, and make datadriven decisions without the need for grid or solar power.
General Arrangement
Key Components
The Smart Water Management System integrates with battery-operated devices and a telemetry communication network for continuous monitoring of water parameter, level, flow, and pressure, across residential, municipal, and industrial applications.
Battery-Operated Electromagnetic Flow Meter (with/without Built-In Pressure Transmitter):
Accurately measures flow rate and pressure within pipelines while transmitting data over IoT communication protocols.
Battery-Operated Radar Level Transmitter:
Uses advanced radar sensing technology to detect and measure tank or reservoir water levels with high precision, unaffected by temperature or humidity variations.
Battery-Operated Pressure Transmitter:
Monitors pressure, helping identify pressure drops, pipeline leaks, or overpressure conditions in the distribution system.
Residential Water Meter (Battery-Operated):
Designed for household applications, it enables precise measurement of water consumption and supports centralized data collection for billing and analysis.
Telemetry Communication Network:
Enables secure and seamless data transfer from all connected field devices to the SBEM IoT Web Application using 4G communication with 2G fallback.
IoT Web Application (SenSphere):
A cloud-based web platform for monitoring, analysis, and visualization of aggregated water network data, accessible securely by authorized users.
Configurable Mobile Application (SensLink):
A dedicated mobile app for field configuration, parameter adjustment, and device management via Bluetooth communication.
