WHY?

STARTER PACKS / SMART CITY

WATER UTILITY

STARTER PACK

90 DAYS - €7,400

Consumption, leakage detection, network pressure.

​

PROBLEM

WATER NETWORKS ARE MOSTLY MONITORED THROUGH BILLING CYCLES, NOT REAL OPERATIONAL SIGNALS.

Common symptoms

LEAK DETECTION IS REACTIVE

Repair happens after the damage is done.

DMA STRUCTURES EXIST ONLY ON PAPER

Not reflected in dashboards.

PUMPING ENERGY USE IS NOT OPTIMIZED

Cost visibility is missing.

CONSUMPTION ANOMALIES ARRIVE TOO LATE

Detected only after invoicing.

CITIES DON’T NEED MORE METERS. THEY NEED DISTRICT-LEVEL VISIBILITY. YES, REALLY.

SOLUTION

 We start with 5 District Metering Areas (DMAs) because this gives you 80% of value in 90 days with minimal cost and no risk.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS

(simple and a bit refreshing)

We model distribution zones (DMAs) and integrate meter and pressure data into an operational data graph.

We connect it using:

  • ETSI NGSI-LD Smart Data Models.
  • The Data Catalog layer (already part of Vela Context Data Hub).
  • Your existing systems and IT infrastructure.
No disruption, no platform migration, and no “strategic masterplan alignment committees”. 

Once the first dataset is flowing → transparency, dashboards, and real decisions become possible.

Then we expand - only if it’s worth it.
What You Get (in 90 Days)
 
  • DMA-based water system view.
  • Consumption and pressure dashboards.
  • Leak detection alerts.
  • Improvement roadmap.
THIS IS YOUR OPERATIONAL STARTING POINT, NOT A PILOT.

 

Who This Is For ​
 

Cities that have:

  • 10,000-500,000 residents.
  • Plans for water utilities improving efficiency.
  • Engineering and infrastructure departments.
  • Larger networks starting with priority zones.
If that sounds like your city → we’re aligned already.
