Problem Statement
Water distribution systems are complex networks involving storage, flow, and pressure dynamics.
Without integrated monitoring, these systems suffer from inefficiencies, leakages, pressure imbalances, and poor resource utilization.
Ground Reality
Across municipal and industrial water systems, the following challenges are common:
- Mismatch between supplied water and actual consumption
- Undetected leakages and distribution losses
- Pressure imbalance leading to uneven supply
- Tank overflows and underutilization
- Lack of centralized monitoring and control
Key Insight: True water intelligence emerges only when level, flow, and pressure are monitored together and analyzed as a system.
Solution Approach
Hexitronics proposes a 3-sensor integrated IoT system combining:
- Level Sensor: Monitors storage levels in tanks and reservoirs
- Flow Sensor: Measures water movement across pipelines
- Pressure Sensor: Tracks distribution pressure across the network
The system captures synchronized data from all sensors and transmits it securely to the cloud for advanced analytics and decision-making.
Sensor Intelligence (Core Logic)
- High flow + No level increase → Leakage or diversion
- Low pressure + High demand → Supply deficiency
- High pressure + Low flow → Blockage or valve restriction
- Tank full + Continuous flow → Overflow condition
- Pressure fluctuations → Network instability
