OFFER AN ECO-CONSUMPTION SERVICE TO YOUR USERS 

Residents and businesses receive a detailed daily report on their consumption in order to better understand it. They are also warned in case of leaks or overconsumption in order to control their bills. Once personalised by the user, the service provides advice on how to adopt eco-responsible habits. Residents benefit from tips on how to use the most important item of hot water in the home, the daily washing. Companies get indicators specific to their activities (tertiary, landlords, management of green spaces). Private and professional users thus reduce their water and energy consumption, save money and contribute to the environmental transition of the territory. ON'connect™ coach is a digital service available through an online account or a mobile application. Resulting from the ON'connect™ metering solution, providing a wealth of indicators, it is free for users and can be integrated into a customer relations portal (billing, online payment, etc.) or a more complete application including, for example, information on the quality of the water served.

CLOSE A REMOTE WATER SUPPLY AS SOON AS A LEAK IS DETECTED 

In order to avoid an unusualy high water bill or even possible water damage, the ON'connect™ switch solution detects leaks within your buildings and remotely controls the closure of the relevant water supply point. Managers can thus control their water consumption and ensure the continuity of activities within the facilities. The water supply can be cut off manually from the digital platform or automatically when a threshold is exceeded. Thanks to the consumption reports, users understand the consumption patterns according to days and hours, and can then program the opening and closing of valves according to the frequency of use of the buildings (holidays, weekends) to prevent any risk of leaks.

• Securing the facilities
• Maintaining activities on site
• Immediate response in case of detected leakage to limit losses
• Control of the water bill
• Gain points to obtain certifications and financial aid (CEE, BREEAM, HQE, etc.)

• Monitoring of water consumption at the various water points monitored
• Leak alerts by SMS or email
• Manual or automatic closing of water supply
• Programming of the opening and closing times of the water supply

• Bontaz assembly plant : 
  - 11 leaks detected on the 2 equipped networks
  - 4,201 m³ of water were saved
  - ROI achieved in 3 months
   
• 3 high schools in the Grand Est region: 
  - 26 leaks detected of approximately 1,149 L /h
