Remote reading, control of hydraulic infrastructures, and IoT digitalization
Digital Transformation of the Water Cycle: Sensors, Hybrid Connectivity, and Remote Control
The project
Ajuntament d’Artà
The Ajuntament d’Artà has launched a comprehensive transformation of its municipal water network through an ambitious digitalization project aimed at improving the service's efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. The initiative includes the implementation of remote meter reading systems, sensorization of critical infrastructures, and the deployment of a hybrid IoT communications network capable of ensuring coverage, remote control, and real-time data analysis.
Main Areas of Action
- Smart remote reading of water meters
- Sensorization of municipal wells and reservoirs
- Remote control of hydraulic valves
- IoT communications using dual technology (SIGFOX + LoRaWAN)
- Cloud platform for data management and visualization
Technical Development and Innovation
The project leads the design and implementation of the digital infrastructure, including:
- Supply and installation of 3,500 smart meters with dual connectivity.
- Integration of level sensors in wells and reservoirs, using 4G and LoRaWAN communications.
- Development of a remote valve control system using connected solenoid valves.
- Configuration of a cloud-based platform for centralized management of generated data.
- Technical coordination of the deployment and system launch, ensuring interoperability, coverage, and operational reliability.
Objectives
- Digitalize Artà’s water supply network for more efficient and sustainable management.
- Ensure continuous monitoring of key hydraulic infrastructures.
- Optimize water consumption and proactively detect incidents.
- Enable data-driven decision-making through an accessible and visual cloud platform.
- Increase the resilience of the water service to technical and environmental incidents.
