Smartvatten

Smartvatten for Water Utilities aims to offer the best possible tools for water network management. We combine the best practices of software development, design and water engineering to create comprehensive and intuitive solutions. We focus on the daily user experience to ensure a user-friendly environment. It all started in 2016 when Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY organized a hackathon, a weekend-long innovation competition. It brought together computer scientists and water engineers to develop new solutions based on existing network data. The hackathon event was held in a wastewater treatment plant in Viikinmäki and the goal was to develop solutions based on data collected from pumping stations, weather forecasts, energy usage and map data, to name a few. During the weekend, various new solutions were developed and one of them was our data visualization tool.
