AutomatiX Signed & Executed Litoral Matn Pipeline IoT Based SCADA System

The Lebanese Ministry of Water and Power and the Establishment of Water of Beirut and Mount Lebanon entrusted AutomatiX to install the first IOT based district monitoring system in the country.

The system is based on I2O data logging technology from the UK and aims to monitor in real time the variable required for the proper distribution of water in main channels of Metn District.

Significant number of I2O devices has been installed in critical intersections of the network. These data-logging devices are monitored by the water authority (EBML) for any deficiency, leak or any other abnormal operation in real time in order to act promptly and effectively in case of malfunction.

The total number of data-loggers is increasing significantly day by day, due to several reasons and advantages of this system, out of which we can cite : the low cost of installation, the ease of operation and maintenance( battery for 6 years) and for sure the absence of a central SCADA system.
