Presented by: Kurt De Nies, Water LinkJan Van Cappellen, HydrokoStig Knudsen, Kamstrup
2Water Link
History:• 1881 founded as Antwerp Water Works (AWW)• 1965 intercommunal company• 2016 drinkwater provider of the city of Antwerp and surroundings for 135 years services
Services• tap water• sewage management• water solutions for the industry
facts & figures:
3Goals and success criteria
4The world is changing – society is evolving - momentum is nowNew customer requirements:
• involvement & interaction• optimal and speedy service• personal attention and empathy• knowledge and knowledge sharing
New ethics:• shutting off water is considered inhuman
& politically sensitive• idea of minimum supply
New technology:• ultrasonic water meters• cloud-computing, IoT• LPWAN radio-technology• prepaid
5Operational costs are increasingMeter replacement:• +- 17.000 / year
Closing commands – checks:• +- 40.000 / year
end of contract -vacancybad payersfraud
Traffic related problems:• traffic congestion - parking problems • road pricing - car-free city• road rage - stress• carbon dioxide emissions
Accessibility:• appointments - customer should be at home• entering the customers premises• Water meters difficult to reach• risk of labor accidents - aggression
6Smart metering solution gives an answerMinimum specifications at project start
• 16 years autonomous energy supply1 meter-reading / day1 open & close operation / month
• Plug & play• IP68• Increased meter reading accuracy during entire life course• Solution needs to be completely lead-free
• Remote controlled valveFlow reduction possibilityFraud resistant
• Central data capturing (no walk-by / drive-by)• Remote solution for visualisationand operating of the meter and the valve• Possibility to couple the solution to existing ERP systems
