Capabilities
Three capabilities.
One sensor.
Software functions, activated alone or combined. You concentrate value where it matters, and activate only what is useful, sensor by sensor.
Capability Q
Vigilance through the sentinel effect
Quality
Continuous monitoring of the water’s electrochemical signature. The sensor detects deviations in real time and directs accredited laboratory analyses: it does not replace them, it makes them targeted. The same vigilance applies from one matrix to the next: drinking water, surface water, wastewater, shellfish waters, pools.
Operational value
- COFRAC analyses triggered at the right moment, instead of systematic rounds.
- Early, continuous detection of quality deviations.
- Fewer non-productive samples, a better-targeted analytical effort.
What the sensor observes
Electrochemical signature
Signature tracking against a reference jointly established per distribution unit.
Vigilance parameters
Indicators detectable at useful thresholds: metals, free chlorine, nitrates, conductivity, depending on the water matrix.
Explicit physical limits
Measurement limits are owned: the sensor signals, the accredited laboratory qualifies.
⚠ The network sensor does not measure PFAS online and replaces no regulatory arbitration.

Capability H
Leak detection & performance
Hydraulics
High-fidelity vibration listening. The sensor hears leaks through the wall, pre-locates them, and feeds yield optimisation, at the scale of a day, not a campaign.
Operational value
- Leaks pre-located quickly, on priority sectors.
- A reliable yield, a linear loss index (ILP) under control.
- Listening to assets (pumps, valves) for predictive maintenance.
What the sensor hears
Acoustic signature
Solid conduction of pressure waves in the pipe, captured at a high sampling rate.
Pre-location
A dense hydraulic mesh made possible by a unit cost far below a dedicated logger.
Hydraulic quantities
Flow, pressure, water hammer, ILP optimisation and yield calculation without flat-rate estimation.
⚠ In-situ calibration depends on the mechanical coupling and the pipe material.
Quantifiable quantities

- Flow
- Pressure
- Water hammer (transient)
Acoustics

- Network leak location
- Asset listening (pumps, valves)
Measured quantities and detected events, with no performance figures.
Capability C
Subscriber relationship, at the last metre
Metering & services
Communicating indexes and a direct relationship with the user. At the delivery point as at the point of use, the sensor serves reading, alerting and education about the resource.
Operational value
- A direct subscriber relationship and resource sobriety.
- Fewer disputes and unbilled volumes.
- A decentralised tap module, closest to use.
What the sensor serves
Communicating indexes
Reliable reading at the delivery point, on the subscriber meter head.
Before / after meter detection
Over-consumption detected early, leak and frost alerts sent to the user.
Online services
Consumption tracking, transparency, fewer complaints and rebates.
⚠ The tap module runs on a long-life battery, replaceable by the user in seconds.
Quantities & services

Activation
Activate what matters, where it matters.
Every function is activatable on each sensor. The deployment format determines available capabilities; you choose which you activate.
