Case Study: Brown and Caldwell improves water infrastructure monitoring with Digi International

Brown and Caldwell enables real-time water monitoring with Digi, extending battery life to 9–10 months

Brown and Caldwell, an environmental engineering firm, assists water agencies facing challenges in monitoring infrastructure due to budget and workforce constraints. Traditional data collection provided only infrequent snapshots, lacking real-time insight into water quality and flow. To address this, they partnered with vendor Digi International, utilizing Digi Remote Manager and Digi Connect Sensor+.

The solution from Digi International involved deploying the cellular Digi Connect Sensor+ gateways to connect various sensors in remote locations, transmitting data via Digi Remote Manager for real-time visualization. This enabled continuous monitoring of critical parameters, allowing agencies to quickly respond to issues, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimize operations. The implementation led to more efficient battery usage, lasting up to ten months, and provided actionable data that helped lower costs and protect water infrastructure.
