Smart Pressure Management

"The challenge of accurately controlling pressure in a water network is complicated by the fact that pressure varies uniquely across each part of each network, constantly shifting with changing patterns of demand and outside events. Because of these variations, basic pressure management techniques either lock in a pressure level that is too high (or too low), or are unable to respond effectively to the changing demands on the network.

Smart Pressure Management overcomes these shortcomings with technology enabled to automatically and continuously optimise pressure across the network, based on the current demand patterns and operating characteristics of that area of the network. The Smart Pressure Management solutions delivers these capabilities as part of an intelligent, network-wide technology platform, easy to install and operate.

The architecture of Itron Smart Pressure Management solutions is built around a new set of enterprise class software-based services, combined with highly intelligent loggers and controllers in the network to monitor network performance and control assets such as PRVs (Pressure Reducing Valves) and pumps.​​"
