Smart Water Monitoring System: Laying the Groundwork for Campus-Wide Automation

The Problem:
The university relied on manual checks to monitor water temperature across campus, a process that was slow, inefficient, and lacked comprehensive data. This created challenges in meeting safety standards and optimizing water usage.

What I Did:
As project manager, I partnered with Cistermiser to establish the foundation for automating water monitoring across the campus. Key responsibilities included:

• Collaborating with Cistermiser to align their hardware and software solutions with the university’s needs.
• Developing a detailed project plan for implementing Cistermiser’s system, which involved installing sensors on water pipes to continuously monitor temperature and flow.
• Configuring the system to transmit real-time data to a centralized software platform for easy monitoring across the campus.
• Overseeing initial trials and demonstrations to assess the system’s functionality and efficiency.
• Facilitating knowledge transfer and providing a comprehensive handover to the university team before transitioning to a new project.

The Outcome:
Although I moved on to a different project before completion, the university successfully implemented the system, achieving:

• Fully automated water monitoring across the campus, replacing the inefficient manual process.
• Improved safety compliance and water usage optimization through real-time data insights.
• Positive feedback from university stakeholders for the system’s efficiency and reliability.
