2024 USE CASE How LoRaWAN â Transformed Water Management in Palermo In the bustling city of Palermo, Italy, efficient water management is critical due to increasing concerns about sustainable resource management. The Azienda Municipalizzata Acquedotto di Palermo Spa (AMAP) faced growing challenges in monitoring water consumption, identifying leaks, and optimizing resource allocation. RESULTS The deployment of LoRaWAN ® technology in Palermo has yielded significant results, including: • Improved ROI: The EUR 2.7 million investment is expected to pay off within 36 months due to reduced water wastage and optimized resource management. • Cost Savings: Efficient use of TEKTELIC's KONA Macro and Enterprise gateways lowered deployment and maintenance costs, saving the city significantly. • Enhanced Leak Detection: Real-time monitoring improved leak detection, reducing water loss and associated expenses. • Optimized Resource Allocation: Accurate water consumption monitoring has led to better resource allocation and overall efficiency. • Scalability and Reliability: The robust LoRaWAN ® network supports 145,000 users, ensuring reliable and scalable performance. • Sustainability: The project supports Palermo's sustainability goals, offering long-term environmental and economic benefits. SITUATION AMAP aimed to revolutionize their water metering system to enhance efficiency and sustainability. They sought a comprehensive solution to monitor water usage, detect leaks, and manage resources more effectively across the Metropolitan City of Palermo. ISSUE • Traditional water management systems were inadequate for real-time monitoring and efficient data management. • The lack of an integrated, scalable solution hindered AMAP's ability to address water wastage. • Inability to optimize resource allocation effectively due to outdated systems. SOLUTION Unidata Spa, in collaboration with BIP Spa, Lektor Srl, and TEKTELIC, developed an innovative IoT-based solution leveraging LoRaWAN ® technology. The project involved designing and implementing a purpose- built LoRaWAN ® network, managed by Unidata's UniOrchesta application, to monitor water consumption and identify leaks. TEKTELIC's Carrier Grade KONA Macro and KONA Enterprise gateways were deployed, providing excellent radio performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Over 150 gateways ensured robust coverage, reducing deployment and operating costs while supporting the extensive user base in Palermo.
