IoT tools can be used to improve water management
The Internet of Things (IoT) can help preserve scarce resources, as pollution and climate change result in greater pressure on water supply, and increasing human population and urbanisation lead to higher demand, Apex Innovation MD Brynn Williams says.
“The consequence [of this trend] is [greater]water scarcity in many regions of the world, resulting in severe implications for food security, health and ecosystems,” he says, highlighting that more than 40% of the world’s population is affected by water scarcity and that about one in four people is likely to be affected by recurring water shortages by 2050.
IoT can allow organisations to take an inventory of all infrastructure assets and revolutionise water monitoring and the billing environment.
Apex aims to leverage the power of IoT to accurately measure the use of utilities, collect and process data and translate this data into comprehensible and actionable outlines for municipalities, utility companies, property managers, engineers and consumers, besides others.
The Apex platform, built using Amazon Web Services (AWS) technology, offers users high-resolution data visibility using IoT devices with low power consumption.
“As both the private and public sectors continue to adopt smart metering technology for new builds and convert older infrastructure, the demands for system integrators like Apex Innovation will continue to grow.
“Using AWS, we leverage serverless infrastructure to enable us to concentrate on customercentric development and operations rather than on infrastructure needs,” he explains.
