The deployment of a private IoT network based on LoRaWAN\u00ae<\/sup> technology makes it possible to modernize water consumption metering, integrate data into the customer\u2019s control system, and improve operational visibility <\/strong>in an industrial facility of approximately 18 hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n

Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The customer\u2019s industrial plant, covering approximately 18 hectares<\/strong>, uses water as a critical resource<\/strong> across multiple stages of its production process. However, the existing metering infrastructure<\/strong> had significant limitations<\/strong>, including a limited number of monitoring points, obsolete meters with no communication capabilities<\/strong>, and very limited visibility<\/strong> of consumption by area and process stage. These limitations made it more difficult to control operations, analyze water usage across the entire facility, and detect inefficiencies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address this challenge, Inmarepro and Koelus<\/strong> launched a joint project aimed at modernizing the existing instrumentation and digitalizing water consumption readings through industrial IoT technologies<\/strong>. This approach eliminates the need for cabling work and minimizes the impact on factory operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project was approached from two complementary perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inmarepro<\/strong> led the modernization of the metering infrastructure<\/strong>, replacing obsolete meters and incorporating new measurement points in critical areas of the plant. These changes improved the granularity and traceability of water consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile,Koelus<\/strong> was responsible for digitalizing the reading system<\/strong>, by deploying the IoT devices required to capture water consumption data<\/strong> and integrate it directly into the customer\u2019s control system<\/strong>. This was carried out through its MSE (Management Systems Extender) <\/strong>solution, which extends and enhances the capabilities of traditional control systems<\/strong>, by adding new measurement points without cabling<\/strong> and enabling real-time data availability<\/strong> through an efficient and scalable wireless communications <\/strong>system based on a private LoRaWAN\u00ae<\/sup> network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Implementing this project represented a paradigm shift in how the industrial plant manages water consumption<\/strong> The main benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
