The two companies will work on the development of IoT (Internet of Things) technology aimed at companies in the water sector and will collaborate on the commercialisation of a solution that allows the digitalisation of the operation and maintenance processes of this resource.
Telefónica, a global leader in the provision of IoT solutions, and Idrica, a company specialised in new technologies for the management of the integral water cycle, which originated from the digital transformation of the Global Omnium group, have signed a global partnership agreement to provide services to companies in the water sector.
The agreement includes the development of solutions with the Internet of Things technologies NB-IoT, LTE-M and the future 5G Massive IoT that will allow the connection of billions of machines and devices to the Internet. The agreement signed also includes the commercialisation of GoAigua, an Idrica solution that fosters the complete digital transformation of the operation and maintenance processes of companies in the sector.
The solution allows companies to monitor real-time information on all their infrastructures and processes in one single place, facilitate decision-making, automate recurring tasks, and help strengthen communication channels and value-added services for customers.
It is also a modular, scalable solution that can be adapted to the degree of technological maturity of each company, allowing them to have a transversal vision of the integral water cycle (collection, distribution, sanitation, reuse and end customer satisfaction). Thanks to the application of advanced algorithms, the solution also boosts efficiency in the areas of drinking water, sanitation, purification, and smart irrigation.
“We believe that this alliance will help us accelerate the internationalisation process of the company and highlights the interoperability of GoAigua with other platforms and technologies,” says Jaime Barba, CEO of Idrica.
Gonzalo Martín-Villa, Global Director of IoT and Big Data at Telefónica Tech, says:
“With this agreement we are reinforcing our commitment to offer more accessible solutions to people, improving communication channels, providing detailed information on their consumption and making responsible use of water resources.”
