AVK Smart Water is a new concept consisting of battery – operated wireless sensors which are data-collection ready, and a software platform for visualising the complex data, turning it into valuable insights.
The sensors are developed for AVK core products such as gate valves, fittings, and hydrants. When installed, the sensors will provide data directly from applications in the water distribution network and send the data to the dedicated software platform. This digital monitoring solution makes it possible to optimise the operation of a water network by:
• Saving resources
• Reducing water loss
• Optimising the general planning and operation activities within the network.
By installing AVK Smart Water sensors in the distribution network, utilities can achieve a transparent network that makes it possible to remotely monitor and diagnose problems, prioritise, and manage maintenance issues, and optimise the entire network’s efficiency.
AVK Smart Water sensors include Positioner, Open/Close, Flow, Level, Pressure and Temperature. The sensors send data to VIDI Cloud, a software platform developed and provided by AVK Smart Water. Through an API, the sensors can also send data into your preferred IT system. This makes it easier to compare data and compile a complete overview of the distribution network.
Through digital monitoring, AVK Smart Water paves the way for:
• Reduced water loss from leaks
• Increased workflow efficiency
• A clearer overview of network conditions
There are many ways that AVK’s Smart Water can monitor networks, including:
VIDI Pressure helps utilities monitor the pressure level in the water distribution network. With the information from VIDI Pressure sensors utilities will know when to regulate pressure, and thereby:
• Reduce stress on infrastructure
• Extend assets’ lifetime
• Minimise maintenance costs
• Reduce water loss
• Minimise risk of water contamination
• Reduce energy consumption
VIDI Flow provides regular data sets detailing how much water is flowing in or out, depending on where it is installed. By using VIDI Flow to measure the water flow, utilities can detect anomalies earlier and improve the resilience of the distribution network.

A huge part of ensuring clean drinking water depends on a controlled temperature all the way from the suppliers to consumers. VIDI Temperature can track water conditions within the network, so that utilities can make informed decisions based on data directly from the water pipes about whether the temperature is too high or too low.

VIDI Level makes it possible to remotely monitor sand traps, helping utilities avoid unnecessary inspections while giving a clear view of sand levels. A VIDI Level sensor can be used in different applications such as:
• Level of sand in sand traps
• Level of water or wastewater in buffer tanks or basins
• Level of water in pits, wells, and chambers
• Level of water in lakes and streams
VIDI Cap is a smart cap providing information about the open or close status of hydrant outlets. It detects if the cap is being taken off the hydrant outlet and transmits data wirelessly. The device can be installed on new or already existing hydrants with a threaded Storz B outlet. With continuous monitoring, VIDI Cap can help detect unauthorised use and minimise theft and the amount of Non-Revenue Water via hydrants.

VIDI Positioner is a smart device for indicating the position of a valve. It detects the open/close position of an underground hydrant and transmits data wirelessly. This VIDI Positioner is designed for the AVK S29/91 underground hydrant and installed in combination with an AVK stem cap. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the status of the underground hydrant to the VIDI Cloud platform that stores the data. VIDI Positioner provides accurate data directly from the network by regularly monitoring the status of the underground hydrant.

VIDI Open/Close can be used with several valve types, for example, on a regular gate valve with a handwheel or on a swing check valve with a lever. The most beneficial place to install an open/close sensor is on critical valves that need monitoring 24/7. With the VIDI Open/Close sensor installed on these key assets, utilities will receive regular and reliable information about the open/close position of these assets.

VIDI Positioner is a smart device for indicating the position of gate valves. It detects the open/close position of a gate valve and transmits the data wirelessly. The device is installed in combination with an AVK extension spindle on multi turn valves. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the position of the valve to the VIDI Cloud platform or to a third-party software (e.g., SCADA or GIS).
VIDI Positioner provides water utilities with valuable insights into the use of valves by remotely monitoring the position of a valve by indicating whether it is open, close, or any percentages in between. Based on the provided information, water utilities can optimise the operation of the water distribution network, extend the lifetime of assets, and efficiently reduce water loss.
