Smart Water Monitoring
KS Smart Solutions deployed a comprehensive IoT-based water metering and monitoring system for CMWSSB — transforming Chennai's water distribution network from a manually-managed legacy infrastructure into a data-driven, cloud-connected utility with real-time visibility, automated anomaly detection, and city-wide operational control.
What We Built
A multi-sensor field deployment across Chennai's water distribution network, feeding live data to a centralised cloud platform and an operator dashboard — giving utility managers continuous situational awareness from source to tap.
Water Flow Measurement — Electromagnetic flow meters and ultrasonic smart meters capture real-time distribution data, enabling precise efficiency analysis and loss detection across the network.
Pressure Monitoring — Pressure transducers distributed across the distribution system continuously monitor line pressure, with data transmitted to the cloud for real-time alerting and trend analysis — preventing both supply failures and infrastructure damage.
Water Level Monitoring — Hydrostatic sensors in reservoirs and storage tanks deliver accurate level measurement with cloud-based data transmission and automated anomaly alerts when levels fall outside defined thresholds.

IoT Data Transfer Infrastructure — Hybrid IoT Gateways and IoT Nodes push all sensor data to the cloud via 2G/3G/4G — a resilient, multi-path connectivity architecture designed for continuous uptime across Chennai's varied terrain.
Centralised Data Management — All field data is collected, stored, and secured via 4G network infrastructure, with an architecture built for easy horizontal expansion as coverage grows.
Operations Dashboard — A customisable, role-based interface displays real-time sensor data, auto-generates operational reports, and surfaces anomaly alerts — with granular access controls that ensure the right people see the right data.
