Smarta Water solutions overview

Our Smarta water management solutions are proudly South African-developed and manufactured products that are built on advanced modern technology that leverages Internet of Things (IOT) technologies for automation of water infrastructure systems and components.
The Smarta water solutions products bridges the gap between the physical & digital worlds in a SIMPLE, SMARTER and RELIABLE way by integrating the hardware, software and wireless communications systems components for effective remote monitoring, control and management. They are scalable, modular and be retrofitted thus offering its customers the flexibility for installation as complete integrated system or incremental/ phased approach based on unique needs & budgets.
Each Smarta water solution product features an intuitive interface for comprehensive real-time monitoring platform, alert/notification system, and reporting capabilities that allows customers and its authorized Users to monitor, analyse, and control water usage with remarkable precision from their smart devices (laptop/tablet/ cellphone) on a 24/7 basis irrespective of where they are in the world thus empowering them to make informed decisions promptly.
Standard features and functionalities of all the Smarta Water Solutions products include:
- Live visual dashboard for operating data (i.e. power, consumption, water levels, water flow, pump pressure, alarms etc)
- Remote downloading of reports (both technical, water usage & financial) on a daily/ weekly/ monthly basis
- Alarms & alerts notifications in three (3) ways (i.e. SMS, email & data app) to select personnel
- Real-time monitoring of water data (flow rate, levels, volumes, pressure etc) for water meters, water tanks, borehole water tables and pipelines
- Real-time monitoring of water quality
- Remote control & monitoring of pumps condition including switching ON & OFF
- Real-time monitoring of power consumption (Volts, Amps, KiloWatts) including daily electricity usage costs
- Real-time monitoring of quality of electricity supply (power surges, fluctuations, outages)
- Controlled access for customers with multiple users for security purposes
General benefits of Smarta water solutions products include substantial costs savings (Opex & Capex), improvement of operational efficiencies and security of water supply as well as enhancement of customer service.

SCADA & TELEMETRY SYSTEMS

The SCADA & Telemetry water solution is a fourth (4th) generation of SCADA & Telemetry systems that provides Water Utilities with the tools to proactively and remotely monitor, controls & manage their geographically distributed water supply systems (boreholes, pump stations, booster pump stations, pipelines, reservoirs/ storage tanks etc) on a real-time basis 24/7.
Special Functionalities
The SCADA & Telemetry Water Solution helps Water Utilities to improve plant reliability and customer service and reducing operating costs (Capex & Opex), by resolving the operational water supply challenges which includes amongst others:
- High Non-revenue Water (NRW) – resolving the unmeasured & unmonitored water leaks in bulk water distribution networks and improve the reactive responses
- Regulatory Compliances requirements – resolves the manual and error prone Excel worksheet for compiling Water Use Licence (WUL) reporting
- Pump monitoring & control – reduce the costly frequent site visits for manual pump control (switching ON & OFF) and visual observation of pump conditions
- Reservoirs & Zonal/DMA water data (levels & readings) – eliminates the Sporadic water meter readings, human errors in meters reading & data capturing and costly site visits for manual readings
- Water demand management – reduce the huge disparities between projected water demand v/s actual water supply v/s actual water used
Water balancing– eliminating the theoretical calculations of bulk water losses and balancing (i.e. volume of water supplied v/s reservoir water levels v/s Zonal/DMA meter readings)
Special Features
The Smarta Pump Management System versatile compatibility allows it to seamlessly integrates with:
- Various single-phase or three-phase pumps systems (Centrifugal, Submersible, Variable Speed Drive (VSD) etc)
- Works with both Solar PV power & grid supply (Eskom/Municipality)
- Pump protection device for abnormal line voltage conditions, load fluctuations & dry well conditions
- Built-in GPS helps you keep track of your pump’s location
- Retrofit to existing installations without replacing old pump system
- Automated control philosophy for pump protection, dry running prevention & pumping schedules
SMARTA PUMP WATER MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Smarta Pump Water Management Solution is an advanced telemetry system with cloud-based architecture for automation, remote controlling (switching ON &OFF) and remote monitoring of pump system condition and performance thus leading to energy savings and extended equipment lifespan.
SMARTA OFF-GRID WATER SOLUTION

Smarta Off-grid Water Solution is a water management system that intelligently convert ordinary borehole water systems into automated water flow management systems. This enables real-time monitoring, control & management of both decentralised and geographically distributed water supply system on a 24/7 basis whilst ensuring that water supplied is compliant to drinking water quality standard (SANS 241: 2015).
Over and above substantial cost savings, the Smarta off-grid water solution is self-financing with a shorter payback period of between 12-54 months (volume of water usage dependent) and also saves upto 80% on municipal water bills.
Functionalities
The Smarta Off-grid Water Solution is the beacon of hope for resolving the interlocking water supply challenges, which include amongst others:
Municipal water supplies challenges
- Frequent intermittent water supplies
- High municipal water bills due to undetected leaks
- Water meter readings estimates
Sporadic performance of borehole water supply system
- Premature failures/breakdowns of pumping system equipment
- Erratic borehole dry-ups /depletion of water in boreholes wells
- Poor quality of installations (with failures appearing after 6-18 months)
- Careless operating & reactive maintenance practices
Management oversight challenges
- Lack of visibility into water systems performance
- Unbudgeted expenses for repairs or replacement of borehole systems
- Escalating operating costs due to ongoing maintenance & repairs
- Potential legal liabilities & regulatory penalties/fines due to non-compliance with New Water Act (Section 21 & Section 26)
Lack of overall off-grid system performance reports (Technical, Financial & water usage)
