Application for geolocating water networks


Abstract

Our company, continuing with its line of leading water infrastructure sector with its technological products, has recently developed an application with which users can geolocate the different pieces that form a water network.

This is a new tool that allows to geolocate, of course our PVC-O pipes and fittings, but also other elements within the water network, in order to obtain a complete traceability. For our pipes and fittings the information would be complete, from the creation of the product to its installation. In this way, all the parties involved in a certain project can have complete and real-time technical information about all the products that form the network.

After being registered in the application, users will be able to add more people involved in the project who, in turn, will be able to add the different pieces to the network until they get the complete layout of it, include images of the products, send comments, request technical support or report incidents, among many other possibilities.

This paper covers the development process of the App, from finding the need to the final product and also, real cases of water networks as well as the advantages and added value that the users found with the use of this new solution.
