Data and IoT platform for real-time water leak detection

Data and IoT platform for real-time water leak detection

Flowmetric, a climate tech platform for water risk management, worked with Crata AI to turn its Water Security Portal into a scalable, production-ready platform, with real-time alerts and an enriched data layer. The system generates leak and anomaly alerts in under 5 minutes with over 90% accuracy.

A water management platform ready to move into production

Flowmetric is a climate tech platform that helps companies estimate, project and respond to their water risks and water footprint. Its approach puts water risk at the center of business decisions, not just consumption monitoring.

The Water Security Portal, Flowmetric's own platform for tracking water consumption and risk, was already running and proving its value with a first set of devices, and the next step was preparing it for large-scale deployment. Taking the portal into real deployments called for a more scalable platform, a clearer user experience and the ability to detect leaks and anomalies in real time across far larger volumes of data.

The project had two goals that worked together. First, that any team could read the state of consumption and risk at a glance. Second, that the system would flag anything out of the ordinary instantly, all of it on a data architecture ready to scale and to support future predictive analytics.

A scalable platform with real-time leak alerts

With Crata AI, Flowmetric evolved its Water Security Portal into a scalable, production-ready platform, with a redesigned user experience, real-time alerts and an enriched data layer ready for future predictive analytics and AI.

The platform presents consumption and risk through status indicators and detailed analysis, detects leaks, overconsumption and anomalous patterns, and sends an instant alert over WhatsApp and email when something needs attention. That way the team shifts from reviewing data to acting on each incident in time.

The platform covers the full water incident cycle:

  • Presents consumption and risk through status indicators for an at-a-glance read and detailed analysis to drill into the data.
  • Detects leaks, overconsumption and anomalous patterns.
  • Sends alerts by WhatsApp and email.
  • Lets you configure alert thresholds and sensitivity.
  • Enriches the data with geospatial and environmental context.
Turn your data into a foundation ready to scale

Moving from a pilot to production takes a solid, scalable data foundation. At Crata AI we build the infrastructure that connects, cleans and structures your data so it is ready for alerts, analytics and AI.

"We had a solid technical foundation, but we needed to make the leap from MVP to a real platform. Crata AI helped us consolidate it in a structured way, with an architecture built to scale. Ready to keep growing."

The technology behind the water management platform

The platform combines a modern web architecture, cloud services and geospatial enrichment working together to process the data, detect anomalies and flag them in real time.

  • Frontend (Next.js): builds the user experience and the consumption and risk dashboards.
  • Backend (FastAPI and PostgreSQL): processes the data and houses the platform's logic.
  • Cloud services (AWS): with S3, Lambda, SNS and SQS to scale processing and alert messaging.
  • Geospatial enrichment (Google Earth Engine): adds environmental and geographic context to the data.
  • Alert channels (WhatsApp and email): deliver the alerts to the team the moment they happen.

If your team is working on data and IoT platforms for water management, Crata AI can help you design it.
