Sopron Smart ZAK Pressure GaugeThe WaterScope IoT Smart ZAK Pressure Gauge is a cost-effective, wireless monitoring system that continuously monitors pressure fluctuations to provide timely alerts for pipe breaks or unauthorized water use. Installation at Soproni Vízmű Zrt. demonstrated the solution’s rapid response capability and effective data visualization, which supports quick fault identification and immediate intervention.
Using the smart ZAK pressure gauge makes it easy to monitor pressure fluctuations, which can indicate pipe breaks and unauthorized water use. The device provides data at configurable intervals, allowing for real-time monitoring of trends.
Our goal, defined jointly with Soproni Vízmű Zrt., was to use the data from the WaterScope IoT system to make the water network safer and to receive timely notifications of pipe breaks and unauthorized water use. Another important consideration was that the system should provide a modern, remotely accessible monitoring solution, preferably with economical installation without major disruption.
Detecting pressure fluctuations and pipe breaks in a timely manner was previously difficult and slow
Unauthorized water use could only be detected through manual, time-consuming inspections
Traditional installation methods involved high investment costs
The existing system did not send automatic notifications about critical events
Installation of WaterScope IoT pressure sensors using Hawle ZAK fittings or Hawlinger pressure taps – no dismantling required
Data transmission from the network every 2 minutes – real-time status monitoring
Automatic alerts in the event of pipe bursts or abnormal pressure drops
Online platform and mobile app for displaying and analyzing measured data
Event identification accurate to the minute, e.g. in the event of water theft or abnormal loads
Graphical pressure analysis – events deviating from usage patterns can be identified immediately
Wireless communication
Periodic or continuous data transmission via LoRaWAN or mobile networks.
Quick installation
No major dismantling required thanks to special fittings.
Real-time notifications
Event-based alarms can be set based on pressure thresholds and trend changes.
Online data visualization
Interface accessible from anywhere, even on mobile devices.
Accurate event identification
Fast response guaranteed thanks to a 2-minute cycle time.
System expandability
Compatible with other WaterScope IoT devices.
