What is this innovation about?

Bitaqua has developed a smart water management platform, leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology. By installing sensors and enabling real-time data analytics, the system allows for remote reading, monitoring, operation and management of the entire water supply process, improving the efficiency of water usage. The system also allows for early detection of water leaks, preventing undesirable water waste.

What’s in it for a tourism SME?

Bitaqua’s platform provides an opportunity to enhance water efficiency and save costs by identifying wasteful patterns and preventing leaks. This digital approach not only optimizes operational expenses but also enhances a business’s sustainability profile. Additionally, its implementation improves resilience to water scarcity, which can be a significant challenge in tourism hotspots​.

Consider that:

While there are initial investments and staff training to take into consideration, the long-term benefits include lower operational costs and improved efficiency. The automated monitoring of water resources reduces manual oversight, saving time and effort. The solution works with different brands of water meters, all unified under the same software platform and communications system.
