Intelligent Water Sprinkler Systems

The Plumis 'Automist Smartscan' System Saves Water and Lives

— January 5, 2016 — Tech
Traditional fire sprinklers take the approach of saturating and entire area in water, and while this does help to put out fires, it's grossly inefficient; enter the Plumis 'Automist Smartscan' water sprinkler system to help streamline the experience. Created as a way to help reduce water usage by up to 90%, the Plumis 'Automist Smartscan' water sprinkler system will detect where fire is located and direct the flow to that specific region.

The system works by targeting the hottest point in the room and saturating it with water. This allows the Plumis 'Automist Smartscan' water sprinkler system to not only put out fires more efficiently, but also reduce the amount of water used and the amount of water damage that's often incurred when traditional systems are set off.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Fire Sprinkler Systems - Opportunity for disrupting traditional fire sprinkler systems and reducing water usage with targeted water flow.
2. Iot-enabled Sprinkler Systems - Intelligent water sprinkler systems could benefit from internet of things (IoT) technology to optimize their performance and achieve maximum efficiency.
3. Water Conservation Technology - Water-saving technology like the 'Automist Smartscan' system could be applied beyond fire prevention to many other industries.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate and Construction - New construction projects and buildings undergoing renovations could benefit from the innovative technology of Plumis 'Automist Smartscan'
2. Insurance Industry - Reduced water damage from smart water systems could significantly impact the insurance industry by reducing losses.
3. Smart Homes and Building Automation - Intelligent water sprinkler systems could be incorporated into smart home automation systems, allowing for fire protection with minimal water usage and damage.
