Despite the digital transformation, Itron remains one of the beneficiaries. This company has developed a Water Operations Management platform that reduces water consumption and operational costs through the appropriate use of new internet-of-things technologies.
Using the platform, utility companies can reduce operating costs by reducing water leaks. Besides using IoT technology to monitor leaks, improve water quality and manage wastewater, Itron also uses it to reduce the time maintenance crews spend traveling for control measurements.
