Field data into semantic memory, semantic memory into decisions.

Data streams from an RT-152, a gateway and a sensor gather on a glass dashboard, with the anomaly point in violet.

Overview

The problem. Water utilities, irrigation associations and factories either invest heavily in wired SCADA to monitor geographically scattered wells, reservoirs, pumps and machines, or do not monitor them at all. Existing Elmes wireless installations show data on a local panel; data is not collected centrally, and historical analysis and alarm notifications are limited. Maintenance happens after failures; non-revenue water in Turkish networks averages ~32 % (2023), and municipalities are required to bring it down to ≤ 25 % by 2028.

The solution. The platform is designed as three modules:

  • Monitoring subscription: the Wireless Gateway / RTU collects data from RF nodes in the field (Wireless Well & Reservoir Control, Wireless Analog & Digital Data Transmitter, Wireless Digital I/O Link, Wireless Meter Reading Node) and from Modbus/MQTT/OPC-UA sources, and forwards it to the cloud (or an on-prem server). The web dashboard shows live values, trends, alarms (SMS, email, WR-001 alarm remote) and weekly reports; alert thresholds are user-defined. Hardware, connectivity and dashboard come in one subscription.
  • Predictive maintenance: time-series anomaly detection, asset health scores and maintenance work-order suggestions on the same data. The first pilot uses process variables (flow, pressure, temperature, level, current); for vibration, VibroBal measurements and later a wireless vibration node are added.
  • Water-loss (NRW) package: water balance per DMA (district metered area) from the inlet meter, reservoir level and pressure; minimum night flow analysis, leak alerts and reporting. Outcome-based (water savings) subscription.

Semantic memory. Atlas (GraphRAG + vector) makes past events queryable in context, and decision support dashboards generate daily routes for operations teams. This layer will be rolled out together with the predictive maintenance module.

Light threads rising from field devices converge on a frosted-glass telemetry dashboard, with an anomaly marked in violet.

  • TargetPredictive maintenance model: based on process variables and VibroBal vibration data.
  • TargetAtlas semantic memory integration: contextual queries over the event history.
  • TargetAuto route and task generation: a daily route for the maintenance team.
  • TargetWeekly executive briefing.
  • TargetOne subscription: nodes, gateway and dashboard; hardware, connectivity and software together.
  • TargetNRW water balance: DMA-based night flow analysis.

Applications

  • Crane fleet
  • Irrigation grid
  • Security perimeter
  • Energy metering
  • Wells, reservoirs and pump stations
  • Water network losses (NRW)
  • Rotating equipment (cement, sugar, food)
  • Legacy machine fleet

Good pilot sites. Water utility pump stations and rotating equipment in cement and sugar plants are the best candidates for a first pilot: Elmes wireless telemetry hardware may already be installed there, so the new-hardware risk of the pilot is low. On a legacy machine fleet, signals are collected with the IIoT Retrofit Kit.

Field installations of the data-collection hardware layer are described on the related product pages (Wireless Well & Reservoir Control, Wireless Analog & Digital Data Transmitter).

Frequently asked questions

Can we connect our existing Elmes well/reservoir or data transmitter installation to the cloud?

That is the plan, via the Wireless Gateway / RTU. Second-generation LoRa nodes (N2) connect directly; compatibility for the first generation (N1, PIC + CC1101) depends on a redesign.

Is data lost when the internet goes down?

No; in the planned design, the gateway buffers data locally and backfills it once the connection returns. The buffer duration depends on the Gateway/RTU specifications.

Do we need vibration sensors for predictive maintenance?

The first stage works with process variables (flow, pressure, temperature, current); for vibration, VibroBal measurements and later a wireless vibration node are used.

Where is our data stored?

In the planned design, on servers in Türkiye; an on-prem installation option will also be offered.

Does it communicate with our PLC or SCADA system?

It reads data over Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT and OPC-UA; serving data out as an OPC-UA server is planned.

How much will it reduce our water losses?

No reduction figure is promised; DMA-based water balance and minimum night flow analysis make leak points visible early.

How is it priced?

A subscription model (per device, site or asset), quoted per project; hardware and installation can be offered separately or in a bundle.

Can it be purchased now?

It is in early access / pilot; general availability is planned.
