Overview
Smart Earth Technologies has partnered with Wiretree to deliver the Total Water Enterprise Platform to midsize cities and municipalities across the nation. The platform provides wireless water meters, valves, and various pressure sensors with embedded radio transmitters, connecting devices out in the field (aka your house!) back to HQ via a Zigbee-based mesh network.
Whew, sounds impressive, huh? We thought so too – so we jumped at the chance to build the 2-way, real-time data collection system, back end communications architecture, and Real-time monitoring system required to power this industrial strength application suite.
To give water management department workers some shiny tools to use, our team wrapped the front end interface in a Flex user interface, and integrated it with the industry leading Geographic mapping server ArcGIS from ESRI.
The result of all this mad science and slick design is a system that allows real-time monitoring and remote control of a city’s water distribution system – conserving money and water for taxpayers. (ps, don’t forget to pay your water bills!)
