Itron Receives 2020 IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award
Itron’s IoT Wastewater Monitoring Solution Honored for Exceptional Innovation
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AvantiCompany–Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, received a 2020 IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading website covering IoT technologies. The award recognizes the cutting-edge IoT-based solution that Itron, Utility Systems Science & Software (US3) and the Avanti Company created together through the Itron Developer Program.
The wastewater monitoring solution utilizes Itron’s multi-purpose industrial IoT network and connected wastewater sensors to identify conditions that cause sanitary sewer overflows. Taking advantage of real-time data from US3’s wastewater flow sensors and Itron’s expertise in delivering outcome-based IoT solutions for critical infrastructure operators, the innovative solution enables utilities to prevent sewer overflows, improve water quality, protect local ecosystems and ensure public safety.
To mitigate regulatory issues and prevent sanitary sewer overflows, Miami-Dade County Water & Sewer Department (WASD) recently deployed the solution. In addition to helping the utility mitigate sewer overflows, the solution delivers significant operational efficiencies and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The solution automates the reporting process for regulatory compliance, reducing truck rolls required for field surveys by more than 60%.
