Transforming water into Smart Data
Almar Water Solutions is working to strategically position itself in the water technology business. Last March, the Company signed an agreement with the digital transformation company DATAKORUM to become a shareholder to provide innovative digital technology solutions to the water sector, complementing its Industry & Technology division.
Now together, both companies are bringing cutting-edge latest technologies to provide optimal and reliable service in water infrastructure management. DATAKORUM has created a universal 'end-to-end' IoT solution to digitally transform the entire water infrastructure without the need to change any of the existing devices.

The digitalization of water is a major challenge, reducing losses in supply infrastructure, saving water and energy, and optimizing supply have become global objectives. For this reason, it has become a strategic priority for governments and public, private and mixed companies supplying cities.
Cities are home to the largest number of inhabitants, with more than half of the world's population now living in cities with more than 300,000 inhabitants, and this growth is accelerating. By 2050, cities are expected to be home to 70% of the world's population.
Similarly, urban water infrastructure has grown in parallel over the years to meet the needs of human consumption, industry, and the maintenance of parks and gardens.

During their long history, this infrastructure has incorporated a large number of assets for their correct operation and to supply, manage and measure water consumption effectively. Digitalization has made it possible to integrate new technologies throughout the entire cycle, and the number of suppliers that have been involved during this time, as well as the types of devices, has been very broad and heterogeneous.
Each of these manufacturers has used different communication protocols over the years, depending on the values obtained and the technologies available. As we can imagine, these protocols range from the oldest analog protocols, such as the pulse protocol, to the most recent Wireless M-Bus, most of them developed long before the popularization of the Internet.
