Ubisense Partners with i2O
Ubisense has announced a new partnership with i2O. The integration of Ubisense’s myWorld platform with i2O’s network monitoring and analytics iNet solution provides water utilities with a new way of identifying issues on the network and assessing the condition of assets on the network.
iNet helps water companies manage their networks more effectively. It reduces the time it takes to identify and diagnose issues, removing reliance on customers to report problems. It enables asset maintenance to be done much more efficiently: on the basis of condition rather than time. It reports on network performance and predicts future performance.
