Hydroquo+

Short Solution Description: 

Hydroquo+ is focused on delivering water intelligence to drive water safety and availability with actionable insights. The solution’s unique industry-first approach combines hardware, and software with bi-directional connectivity to automate water monitoring, testing, alerting, and data analysis. The vertically integrated solution enables water operators to forecast events in relation to water efficiency and quality in real-time.

The Problem:

Industrial, commercial, and municipal water users all face a recurring issue— how to monitor the quality of water they use, dispose of, or distribute in a timely, cost-effective manner. Currently, the most common method of analysis of water quality consists of (grab or composite) sampling followed by laboratory investigation.

This approach fails to fully indicate the dynamics of water quality since it only provides snapshots of specific points in time. Furthermore, due to delays in transportation, sample preparation, and analysis, laboratory analysis only reveals a history of water quality and not its current state. Depending on the lab used and the analysis required, the results may not be available for days or weeks, making the data unavailable for use in real-time decision making or process control and making it error-prone.
