Case Study: Industrial Leak Detection for Quix

New Zealand

The problem

No real-time leak detection, with leaks only discovered after manual checks or unexpectedly high water bills. Operational inefficiencies, with staff manually inspecting meters. Delayed response times, with leaks persisting for extended periods before being addressed because there were no automated alerts.

What we did

Smart Metering provided a fully automated Industrial Leak Detection system that continuously monitors water usage in real time, automatically detects abnormal consumption patterns, and sends instant alerts if usage exceeds or falls below a user-defined threshold within 24 hours. The solution was implemented on Smart Metering's cloud-based platform, letting Quix track consumption remotely, eliminate waste and respond to leaks before they became costly.

The outcome

Immediate alerts: Quix receives real-time notifications when usage deviates from expected levels. Significant cost savings: faster leak detection prevents excessive water bills and wasted resources. Sustainability gains: more efficient water use contributes to environmental conservation. Seamless integration: the system works with both existing meters and Smart Metering's NB-IoT-enabled smart meters.
