“Our advancements in IoT technology, analytics and automation now enable organizations to add water to their existing energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives,” said Matt Rose, co-founder and CEO of APANA. ‘Facility operators and property managers use the platform to avoid costs, protect assets and eliminate waste across the built environment. “That’s right.
APANA’s secure IoT solution connects meters and sensors around the facility using APANA-designed devices that leverage industry-leading Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies. With high-resolution data and cloud analytics, the solution monitors the facility’s water infrastructure to identify anomaly in real time. Insights and actionable, step-by-step guidance for troubleshooting are sent to the right person at the right time.
Although the company’s clients have demonstrated a reduction in water use of 20% or more, the real benefits go beyond simple water savings. With APANA, organizations can optimize everything that uses water that prevents equipment from failing and avoids hidden costs of reactive maintenance and inconsistent operating practices.
The company has successfully deployed its customer platform across more than 600 cities worldwide. In the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors, APANA focuses on grocery, hospitality, food and beverage, cities and other public institutions.
