Smart connected water dispenser with real-time monitoring, LTE connectivity and cloud analytics for efficient water-consumption management.
Urban and public-space deployments could not rely on a fixed Ethernet connection, so the dispenser had to support either PoE or cellular connectivity while providing reliable real-time consumption monitoring and a documented path to industrialization.
The system combines a LTE 4G module with a custom CM4 carrier board supporting PoE or cellular connectivity. Hardware, firmware and cloud services provide real-time monitoring, analytics, remote dashboards and encrypted OTA updates, with CE/EMC conformity and a documented industrialization process.
