The challenge
Water pumps with abrupt starts and high consumption, plus a makeshift cistern-level check (a rope to measure). The complex ran out of water during unexpected supply cuts.
Smart Water for a Residential Complex
Variable-frequency + PLC pressure control and remote cistern monitoring with automatic alerts for a residential complex.
VFD Pressure control
HMI Local operation
24/7 Remote monitoring
Auto Alert + refill
The solution
We deployed a variable-frequency drive governed by a PLC that adjusts pressure in real time to demand, avoiding abrupt starts and saving energy. An HMI panel operates main and backup pumps, shows pressure and schedules cycles. A pressure transducer, combined with level calculations, feeds an Internet monitoring system (Savix) that notifies management and the water-truck supplier —with automatic invoicing— when the cistern drops below threshold.
The result
Continuous supply, lower pump energy use and an end to empty-cistern outages: better quality of life for residents.
01 Pressure control with VFD + PLC
Variable-frequency drive governed by a PLC that adjusts pressure in real time, with an HMI to operate main/backup pumps and schedule cycles.
02 Cistern monitoring + alerts
Pressure transducer and level calculation with Internet monitoring (Savix): notifies management and the water-truck supplier, with automatic invoicing, when the cistern runs low.
