Eaux de Marseille Leverages the Full Potential of IoT

In this video we speak with Lionel Ecolei and Sebastien Rabbia from Eaux de Marseille, a water utility in southern France under Veolia, and its deployment of 300,000 smart water meters. These meters are leveraging a dual AMI system, provided by Birdz, a sister company. This system is notable for its use of proprietary connectivity technology backed by LoRaWAN, ensuring reliability and efficiency in data transmission.

Central to the video is the exploration of how the data and experience gained from this large-scale implementation are being leveraged by Eaux de Marseille. The utility is not just managing water resources but is expanding its services to encompass a broader range of environmental management tasks. These include monitoring energy usage, irrigation in vineyards, flower watering, and even wastewater monitoring. Such diversification in services showcases the utility’s commitment to environmental sustainability and resource management.

The video is particularly insightful for municipalities, businesses involved in environmental management, and entities interested in smart city technologies. It sheds light on the practical applications of IoT (Internet of Things) in managing natural resources and provides a real-world example of digital urbanization in action. By illustrating the use of smart meters for various environmental management tasks, the video serves as a case study for the effective use of technology in urban settings.

Professionals and decision-makers in the urban planning, environmental management, and utility sectors will find this video especially valuable. It offers practical insights into how smart technology can be used to enhance resource management and environmental sustainability. The video serves as a testament to the evolving role of IoT and smart systems in urban environments, encouraging viewers to consider the potential applications in their respective fields.
