Suntricity Water Monitoring application allows schools to send twice-daily photos of the municipal water meter, to determine water consumption During and Outside school hours.
Sending the image via What’sApp automatically brings all the metadata of the school, which is transferred, organised and presented to Suntricity Admin for verification and approval before being sent for publication to the school dashboard.
The 3-Step Routine:
The monitoring system functions as follows:
- SNAP: A staff of the ground member goes to the water meter, opens What’sApp and takes a photo; twice a day-at the start (AM), and at the end (PM) of the day.
- SEND: The photo is then sent directly to Suntricity Monitoring via What'sApp.
- SAVE: The image is instantly processed and logged on the central database:
- PM Reading minus AM Reading = DURING SCHOOL HOURS consumption.
- AM Reading minus previous PM Reading = OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS consumption.
Verify OCR Results (Human-in-the-Loop): Pure OCR automation often misread data on the water meter, which the system automatically flags. Administrators verify and correct extracted figures before entering to permanent record, preventing data from corrupting your analytics.
Estate managers, bursars, and SGB members have access to their dashboard to continuously track water performance and investigate anomalies.
Start Saving Water Today
Establishing twice-daily water monitoring should be considered a fundamental baseline for sound utility governance. Apart from the daily monitoring, timestamped photo evidence provides finance committees with audit-ready proof in the event of disputing inaccurate municipal billing. And with the cost of water now standing at R135.00/KL, data capture is an absolute imperative.
