APANA and Walmart Expand Water Conservation Pilot Program
May 15 2019 - 11:00AM
APANA and Walmart Inc. are expanding a water conservation pilot
program at Walmart stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. As a
result of a successful proof of concept from three stores that
began in 2017, a total of 11 stores will add APANA’s Intelligent
Water Management Platform.
APANA’s secure IoT solution connects meters and sensors around
Walmart stores using APANA-designed devices that leverage industry
leading Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies. With high
resolution data and cloud analytics, APANA monitors the water
infrastructure to identify anomalous use in real time. Insights and
actionable, step-by-step guidance to fix problems are sent to the
right person at the right time.
“We’re thrilled to be building on the successful proof of
concept and further integrating APANA’s platform across Walmart’s
stores in the region,” said Matt Rose, co-founder and CEO of APANA.
“It’s a testament to not only Walmart’s commitment to
sustainability but also its relentless focus on driving down costs
across their operations.”
During the expanded pilot program, water meters and technology
will collect, analyze and communicate water use data from the 14
Walmart locations. By illuminating water use in real-time, and
translating that consumption data into informative alerts, staff
can immediately stop leaks, fix equipment malfunctions and improve
operating processes. The additional data generated from the
expanded pilot will provide Walmart leaders even better insight
into their overall use of water.
“Our commitment to helping customers save money and live better
means constant review and enhancements around our own costs,” said
Carlo Bertani, Sr. Manager of Water Resilience at Walmart. “With
APANA, we can fundamentally understand and optimize our water use
which not only reduces our costs, but more importantly will help
Walmart be a stronger community partner.”
APANA has successfully deployed its platform with customers
across more than 600 cities globally. In the commercial,
industrial, and institutional sectors, APANA focuses on grocery,
hospitality, food and beverage, as well as cities and other public
institutions.
