Upgrade your fire hydrants with SmartCap technology and take control of your pipeline network through smart real-time monitoring. Our patented technology can be easily retrofitted into existing hydrants by replacing the pumper nozzle cap, transforming them into smart connected devices. Equipped with an advanced multi-sensor, SmartCap monitors your infrastructure for leaks, flow events, water theft, changes in temperature and deterioration of pipe condition. Its advanced capabilities allow you to track multiple users across the system, automatically calculating and uploading the exact volume of water extracted. It also captures global positioning satellite (GPS) location data and timestamps, giving you complete visibility over authorized users and simplifying accurate billing.
SmartCap technology
Turn your fire hydrants into a smart monitoring device
Optimize your network performance using minimal manpower
With multiple SmartCap devices gathering data across your network, you can harness actionable intelligence to drive operational efficiencies and optimize system performance. SmartCap wirelessly transmits an array of pipe and flow data automatically to the cloud-based Streamline portal. Once uploaded, data is seamlessly processed using advanced algorithmic models, providing automated, insightful reports, with minimal manpower required. The portal offers on-demand status updates and alerts on key parameters such as flow, leakage, pressure and pipe condition. All data is securely stored and can be accessed online or integrated into a utility’s internal database through an API. Streamline turns SmartCap data into actionable insights, empowering you to make better decisions and proactively manage maintenance, preventing critical events before they occur.
