The digital transformation of Gandia City’s water system (Valencia, Spain) is a ground-breaking project that allowed Gandia to become one of the most advanced European smart cities. This joint effort between GoAigua, Vodafone, and the City Council helped increase the efficiency of water management and improve citizens’ quality of life.
The Gandia project included the deployment of 40,000 smart meters, covering 100 percent of the city’s consumers, along with the modernization of other infrastructure, including Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, SCADA systems and more. The millions of daily data points collected are constantly integrated into GoAigua’s IoT platform. In short, it normalizes how sensor data is acquired, stored, managed and shared in the entire organization, providing a holistic vision of the integrated water cycle in real time. The platform integrates information from different technologies, vendors and systems into a single management environment for the operators.
Demand forecasts, detection of leaks in the network, real-time water balances, client segmentation based on consumption patterns, and trending-down meter detection are some of the results obtained. Likewise, the efficiency of fieldwork was enhanced thanks to the automated creation of work orders. City officials have now updated information about infrastructure and its condition, to assess which elements of the network should be replaced based on the total budget. WW
