Water management has become crucial across industries over the past few decades due to the alarming issue of water wastage and also depletion of naturally available resources due to climate change. Managing resources to save water through monitoring of waterflow in industrial plants while measuring the amount of water used in each process are the essential parts of any industrialized operation and will allow companies to improve their water security in the coming years.. Thus, the emergence of technologically evolved smart flow meters has proved to be a cost-saving aid for businesses, in terms of easy operation and maintenance of water data across the organization. The global flow meter market was valued at $9114.39 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $14859.14 million by 2029.
Creating a more environmentally awakened industrial atmosphere, Kritsnam’s mission is to make water management affordable, easy, and data driven. Through Dhaara, Kritsnam’s cloud-based live water budgeting platform, organizations can project their water plans, map and track actual vs. planned usage, identify gaps and uncover potential opportunities for corrective and preventive actions. Businesses can now objectively evaluate water risks and manage their water footprint digitally with smart water flow measuring devices which are battery operated and easy to install. The platform enables users to chalk out water budgeting plans suitable to their needs.
As the government has put forward strict protocols for water management and measuring procedures, several organizations are opting for
digital flow meters over the conventional ones due to their high accuracy rate of measurement. However, the huge amount of data that these applications generate needs to be recorded and monitored thoroughly in order to provide value to the user. This is where Kritsnam has leveraged its wisdom derived by years of research and experiments to build Dhaara, a data-driven and AI induced water flow measurement solution that ensures sustainable water management practices. With its inbuilt telemetry system and capability to communicate with remote servers, Kritsnam’s ultrasonic flow meters are offering water measurement capabilities across all parts of India.
Array of Innovations
Kritsnam offers Dhaara Smart water meter and Dhaara Live dashboard services for advanced and seamless water management. Dhaara Smart is an IoT based ultrasonic flowmeter with latest sensor technology. The battery powered water meter is energy saving and comes with tamper detection technology that alerts the user of any kind of unauthorized alteration in the appliance. The AI technology helps in higher measuring efficiency and also to keep the error rate within standard permissible limits. The inbuilt GPRS/4G telemetry enables hassle free and secure transit of data to the recipient’s servers. Data privacy and security are of utmost importance that have been factored in while developing Dhaara Smart.
The meters are assembled, calibrated with an in-house calibration setup and tested for quality before being shipped to the end user’s location. Dhaara is a plug and play device which does not require supervised installation support for the customer. An installation guide is provided along with the meter that guides the user step-by-step on how to get the meter up and running. The solution comes along with simplified dashboard services to provide remote tracking through mobile phone application or PC and give the user detailed information on daily consumption, weekly consumption, flow rates, pump working hours and idle times, etc. From ground water abstraction to water auditing for commercial, industrial and domestic water usage to smart irrigation practices, Kritsnam has brought in an inclusive water management solution across the spectrum.
K Sri Harsha, CEO of Kritsnam adds, “Our top priority is to develop flow meters that address present challenges like water wastage and mismanagement whilst effectively and effortlessly measuring water flow in the areas of commercial and industrial water supply, water data automation and others. All our systems are compliant with the ISO-4064 standards and also follow the guidelines provided by Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA)”.
Vision for the Future
In the advent of next generation technologies elevated by AI, IoT and other digital pushes, the need to adopt accurate and more feasible measurement solutions has given birth to smarter water management mechanisms. As industries and businesses are becoming equivalently nuanced day by day, the scenario of transcendence is opening new horizons for further innovation keeping sustainability as a key factor. With Dhaara, Kritsam is eyeing on adding to their unique technological boons and taking water intelligence to futuristic heights. “In the days to come, we want to build technology enabled tools and solutions that give a new dimension to smart water management systems all across the globe”, Harsha further adds.
