Smart Drinking Water Management & Monitoring
Water management is a challenge for every municipality. Due to a lack of reliable water management systems, a significant amount of this precious resource is being wasted. Smart city solutions powered by AI can enhance water efficiency and reduce wastage.
NybSys is collaborating with organizations whose mission is to provide access to clean water for all. Our most recent development is the introduction of clean water dispensing machines. To ensure that people always have access to clean water, we have developed the Water ATM.
The Water ATM is a prepaid operational system that consists of both hardware and software. We issue Water cards that can be used to receive water supplies. Those in need of water may show their card at a Water ATM; the machine will verify the balance on file and distribute water accordingly.
When a customer inserts their water card into the Water ATM, the iG100 (a gateway developed by NybSys) reads the card, gets account information from a remote server, and dispenses water from a water dispenser.

Smart Power Management
Without a constant power supply, a city cannot be considered smart. With the help of the Internet of Things, smart grids and smart meters may be used to build a more reliable T&D (transmission and distribution) infrastructure. Further, with the help of IoT, power generation companies may improve their energy production operations to keep up with the ever-evolving needs of their customers.
NybSys uses IoT-embedded sensors to monitor power plant efficiency and individual assets, such as transformers. Equipment uptime and downtime can be better managed using real-time data. If machinery suddenly stops working, an alarm is issued to the proper authorities so they may fix it or replace it. As a result, the Utility can promptly undertake CBM (condition-based maintenance) on assets to keep the lights on across the city.
