Traditional monitoring is expensive and reacts too late
Most pumping stations are located in rural areas. 2G/3G GPRS is being phased out (Bouygues to discontinue service in 2026, SFR in 2026). Fiber-optic internet is either unavailable or too expensive. Only 4G offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution.
Without real-time monitoring, a pump failure or a critical level is not detected until the on-call staff responds or during the next inspection round. The average time before detection without monitoring is 6 to 48 hours.
A on-call technician dispatched for a false alarm or a minor issue costs between 400 and 1,200 euros (transportation + labor + on-call fee). Multiplied by hundreds of stations, this represents a major budget item.
Environmental Code, prefectural ICPE orders, ARS reports, and SANDRE/RSDE reports for wastewater treatment plants. Manual traceability is time-consuming and prone to errors during inspections.
Drinking water, sanitation, irrigation, industry — a single solution for all your water needs
Monitoring of water intake structures, water towers, and pumping stations. Low-level and overpressure alerts. Tracking of distributed volumes for ARS reports and health compliance.
Monitoring of EU pumping stations. Alerts for network overflows and storm water overflows. RSDE/SANDRE self-monitoring reports for the ICPE prefectural order.
Management of irrigation pumps by sector. Scheduling of irrigation time slots; tracking of water volumes drawn in accordance with prefectural authorization. Drought and water outage alerts.
Monitoring of cooling loops, cooling towers, and compressors. Tracking water consumption for CSR reporting and ISO 14001 certification.
Monitoring of interconnections between distribution networks. Measurement of transfer flow rates, pressure balancing, and alerts for abnormal pressure drops in the distribution network.
