An Internet of Things (IoT) solution to water management that cuts down on overuse and waste of water filters.
Machines that use water come with a water filter that keeps scale from building up. Most of the time, these water filters are made of plastic and are only meant to be used once. Customers can check the filter by hand if they want to know how much capacity is still left. Most of the time, this isn’t done right, and customers often throw away their filters before they’ve been used to their full capacity. This makes plastic waste that isn’t necessary. Based on an average size of 5kg per filter that is only used 75% of the time instead of 95% and is changed twice a year, this wastes an estimated 60,000 tons of resin (polymer) in Europe. The Flowplan Solution solves this problem by providing a full Internet of Things (IoT) solution for remotely monitoring water use and predicting when filters need to be changed. This makes sure filters are never changed too soon or too late.
