Itron Receives 2020 IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award

Itron’s IoT Wastewater Monitoring Solution Honored for Exceptional Innovation

LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. — Aug. 18, 2020 — Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, received a 2020 IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading website covering IoT technologies. The award recognizes the cutting-edge IoT-based wastewater monitoring solution that was created through a collaboration between Miami-Dade County Water & Sewer Department (WASD), Itron, Utility Systems Science & Software (US3), and the Avanti Company via the Itron Developer Program.

The wastewater monitoring solution utilizes Itron’s multi-purpose industrial IoT network and connected wastewater sensors to enable WASD to monitor and identify sources of inflow/infiltration (I/I) in the sewer collection system as well as conditions that can cause sanitary sewer overflows. Taking advantage of real-time data from US3’s wastewater flow sensors and Itron’s expertise in delivering outcome-based IoT solutions for critical infrastructure operators, this innovative solution will enable utilities to proactively identify I/I, prevent sewer overflows, improve water quality, protect local ecosystems and ensure public safety.

 

To mitigate regulatory issues and prevent sanitary sewer overflows, WASD orchestrated the strategy for the team to implement and deploy the solution. In addition to helping the utility comply with local environmental regulations and mitigate sewer overflows, the solution delivers significant operational efficiencies for the department’s I/I reduction program. This solution automates the reporting process for regulatory compliance, and improve field personnel mobilization, reducing the amount of deployments by 60%, avoiding unnecessary deployments and reducing operational costs for the utility.
