IoT-based water leak detection
The Codepoint CS1010 sensor is engineered for effective long-range detection of water leakage. It features two water-sensing probes within a waterproof casing and can be placed in areas vulnerable to leaks, such as basements and nearby appliances.
The KaaIoT and Codepoint solution offers a compelling value proposition across various industries, including the following:
Real estate and hospitality
Property managers benefit from immediate leak alerts, which enable swift response to minimize potential water damage and associated repair costs.
Data centers and manufacturing
Facilities housing critical equipment and infrastructure can leverage continuous leak monitoring to get proactive protection, reduce downtime, and safeguard vital assets.
Educational institutions
Early detection of leaks minimizes disruptions to daily operations and protects valuable property within schools and campuses.
When integrated with the Kaa IoT platform, the CS1010 becomes part of a smart water leak detection system. The platform offers configurable detection settings, custom alarms, and detailed reporting. Businesses can oversee their water detection systems via intuitive IoT dashboards with customizable widgets and receive notifications to prevent water damage.
Comprehensive asset tracking
Cora™ Flex Trackers (CT1000 and CT1001) offer a comprehensive asset tracking approach suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. These devices utilize a combination of Wi-Fi/BLE technology for precise 3D localization and LoRaWAN for extended communication range.
The Flex trackers monitor the condition and whereabouts of important assets throughout various stages of their transportation. Shipment verification is one important application. The trackers provide real-time location data, allowing users to confirm the shipment’s location and ensure they are on the right path.
Let’s discuss another use case for Cora Flex trackers: personnel safety. The tracker’s small size, like an ID tag, makes it easy to wear. Security and maintenance staff can be alerted when needed and trigger SOS alerts. Flex trackers can also monitor the location of assets and personnel. The gathered data can improve logistics, maintenance, and overall efficiency.
Integrating Flex trackers with Kaa creates a comprehensive asset tracking solution. The solution provides intuitive dashboards, customizable alerts and notifications, simple integration with existing systems, and reliable hardware. Advanced analytics and reporting in Kaa enable informed decision-making grounded in real-time insight.
