audako is the perfect all-in-one solution for the water industry. Whether in the distribution network when maintaining the pipeline network or in water extraction when monitoring the extraction processes, a modern and reliable solution is essential. In the field of groundwater and flood protection, the task includes monitoring a large number of measured values from widely distributed locations and taking the right actions at the right time to counteract the shortage of groundwater as well as an emerging flood. Due to the manufacturer-independence of our software and its interfaces to the usual control types, a seamless integration into your process control system is made possible. In addition, the integration of cameras rounds off the portfolio of the audako platform and makes it the ideal platform for plants in high and groundwater.
audako can help distribute and improve the quality of water. You can make your technical infrastructure much more efficient by integrating our IoT technology. audako can automatically monitor water pressure, which must be kept constantly high in long-distance supply lines in order to provide drinking water through the long pipe systems. In addition, distribution networks are becoming larger and larger in order to balance out water shortage and surplus areas, so that treated drinking water remains there for a longer period of time until it reaches the consumer. This calls for reliable quality control of drinking water. audako combines digitalized condition and water quality control in one software. With audako, you can increase the reliability and quality of your water supply while reducing water supply costs.
Especially when snow melts, flood facilities should be monitored very well. Municipalities have to prepare an emergency plan to protect the population in case of floods. audako takes over a continuous monitoring of the floods for you. You will no longer miss anything. audako has limit alarms in real time and can inform the responsible personnel in an emergency before it is too late.
audako facilitates level measurement with a digital technology. audako offers highest reliability and accuracy by real-time data of measured values. For liquid analysis, audako serves as a central platform for the provision and further processing of measurement data. You can view all data (pH, turbidity, temperature, conductivity, oxygen concentration etc.) from your smart meters in one platform and control them for quality assurance of the water.
audako helps you to ensure a constant supply pressure in the case of fluctuating delivery quantities or natural differences in altitude. Our water pressure monitoring enables a pressure regulation according to demand, the control of the maximum pressure in the plant, the determination of minimum and maximum withdrawal quantities and the required water pressure as well as the use of chemical additives for the treatment of the raw water to be controlled.
Elevated tanks, metering shafts, wells and treatment plants are usually located far away and lonely in the forest, in addition they are often difficult to access. With audako you can make your water supply more efficient and safer by remote monitoring. Save yourself annoying and time-consuming control trips. With audako's IoT data loggers, an undisturbed and secure transmission of data from inflow and outflow meters, fill levels, water levels and faults of plants into the LTE multifrequency network is guaranteed.
Our customer survey has shown that most working time is spent on locating pipe bursts and leaks in the widely distributed supply network. Intelligent monitoring is available to quickly locate leaks or pipe bursts in the supply network. An early alarm informs the maintenance team, which is then guided by navigation to the affected location. However, you can cap the flow in advance by remote maintenance and even stop it completely. This saves you personnel and travel costs!
Mobile assets such as vacuum pumps, mobile level probes and other devices, which are used for example in mobile dewatering, can be connected to the audako platform via open interfaces. The locations of the mobile assets can be determined by means of GPS trackers and also transferred to the audako platform for visualization in an Openstreetmap map. Nothing can get lost anymore!
With audako you have a completely automated reading and further processing of your data. The meters, sensors and thermometers transmit their measurement data to audako gateways at regular intervals. The data transfer is stored and available in cloud-based or on premise databases. Digitized transmission eliminates the need for on-site readings. Filling states, sensor data and much more data are collected in the audako platform. The evaluation and analysis of this huge amount of data (Big Data) is carried out by means of intelligent algorithms (AI), which are visualized in a simplified way as Smart Data on the dashboard. Process diagrams, hydrographs and other graphics are clearly displayed on the interface, providing the user with modern and convenient user interfaces.
For remote monitoring, control and maintenance of remote technical equipment and supply networks, we use our telecontrol technology, which is modern signal-converting technology. The benefit results from being able to react quickly and in a coordinated manner to the condition of a plant, e.g. in the case of malfunctions (such as the failure of a pump), regardless of location. For telecontrol we use audako data loggers, the extremely reliable transmission technology is used for the secure transmission of digital data over long distances. You can call up your data at any time or rectify many faults in systems directly on the device. A mobile remote control makes it easier for you to monitor your technical systems and devices. The fast response time for troubleshooting increases the productivity and lifetime of your technology.
As the weather gets warmer and warmer, drinking water suppliers are having problems with their extraction plants as well as their distribution networks with the buffers they contain and the quality of drinking water. Therefore, we strongly believe that there is a need for a smart grid for water. With the "Smart Water Grid" project, we want to go significantly further and integrate all the components of a water network compared to the state of the art, which usually only covers the neuralgic points of a network. From the deep wells, which are already equipped with monitoring technology in many places, to the customer meter, which is not yet recorded, all data is to flow together in the audako platform in order to be able to map a digital twin of the supply network. With a digital twin of the network, we want to help operators reduce losses and optimize network utilization.
