AquamatiX appoints new software director

Allan joins from specialist water industry software developer Crowder, where he developed an interest in software as a service (SaaS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). He said, “The move to AquamatiX provides the opportunity to explore some new ideas for cloud-computing applications and the Internet of Things in the water industry. It also gives me the opportunity to work in an ‘agile’ environment - developing software with functionality that evolves in response to what the customer wants.”

The appointment of Allan further strengthens the Aquamatix team. Earlier in the year, Cambridge-based telecommunications expert John Bechtel joined the company as Operations Director. Following a restructuring of the company, Bechtel heads up the Technologies side of the business, which focuses on using the IoT to wirelessly connect sensors across water and sewerage networks and utility catchments. Bechtel has a substantial track record in project delivery across the telecommunications sector and in deploying networks and commercialising products worldwide.

Laurie Reynolds, Managing Director of AquamatiX, said, “We are delighted to have been able to persuade Graham and John to join the executive team. Their combined skills and experience are already driving AquamatiX’s development of WaterWorx™, a completely new and extremely reliable approach to wireless connectivity that can be deployed across the whole network and even the whole catchment. “Traditional proprietary closed systems require specialist technical systems engineers to build and maintain them. We are developing a range of intelligent devices, which are interconnected via cloud-based computing and digital communications resources. “The platform saves significant time for deployment, is based on an open standard and is significantly lower in cost than traditional systems.”

AquamatiX’s WaterWorX™ platform combines real-time measurements and performance data with asset and GIS data to gain knowledge and understanding of asset condition and system performance. The insight gained can be used to optimise new investment to balance capacity, obsolescence, demand and risk.
