Solution for sanitation utilities

Every cubic meter under control, from the reservoir to the water meter.

Group Link One turns water management into data-driven decisions. Automatic reading, continuous visibility into consumption, and loss detection across the entire network, from bulk metering to end consumption, with no need for additional infrastructure. Mechanical meters already installed in the field start operating as IoT meters, connected to the Group Link One platform.

WHY WATER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO CHANGE

Brazil loses more than 40% of treated water in distribution.

Much of this loss is invisible to those who depend on manual reading and outdated data. Without continuous visibility, the decision arrives late, after the loss has already occurred.

Unreliable data

Manual readings and estimates create inconsistencies that compromise billing and operational planning.

High operational cost

Field teams spend time on reading, re-reading, and auditing routes that could be automated.

Reactive decision

Without continuous visibility, leaks, fraud, and anomalies are only noticed when the loss has already been accounted for.

Two scales, one platform

From bulk metering to end consumption.

GL One telemetry covers both scales of water management. Data from each flows into the same platform, giving the utility a complete water balance between what was distributed and what was billed.

Bulk Metering.

High volumes · Real losses

Real control of produced and distributed volumes
Reliable base for the network water balance
Fast identification of major leaks and pipe bursts
Sectorization (DMA): input/output comparison to prioritize investments

Consumer Metering.

End consumption · Apparent losses

Remote and continuous reading, eliminating manual meter reading
Fraud detection such as meter inversion (identified via the Reverse Flow alarm) and under-registration
Billing based on real consumption, with fewer disputes
Consumption profile by hour and by customer type

Talk to a specialist

From data to decision

A complete chain, developed and controlled by Group Link One.

The device is the starting point of collection, but the value lies in what happens next: data processed, organized and turned into decisions for the operation.

Collection at the meter

GL Utilities Water devices attached to meters from the leading brands in the market, in macro and micro-metering, with no complex installation.

Transmission via the GL One® Network

Data travels through the collaborative network via nearby smartphones, with no dependence on additional infrastructure and coverage even in shaded areas and underground environments.

Management platform

Data arrives organized on the platform: maps, reports, alarms and water balance. This is where the utility turns readings into decisions.

Integration

Data supports operational decisions and can be integrated via MQTT or Batch into the management and billing systems the utility already uses.

What the utility gains in practice

Concrete results from day one.

Loss reduction

Identification of real and apparent losses before they become accumulated damage, based on continuous water balance.

Revenue increase

Accurate metering and fraud detection recover revenue that was previously lost to under-metering and delinquency.

Lower operating cost

No more manual reading or re-reading routes. Field teams focus on what requires action, not on data collection.

Accurate planning

Reliable historical data for expansions, well-targeted investment and technical and economic prioritization.

Sustainability

Less water and energy waste, aligned with ESG goals and universal sanitation coverage.

Regulatory compliance

Accurate tracking of loss reduction and service continuity, in line with required targets.

Active monitoring

The device detects, the platform alerts, the team acts.

Through the Group Link One platform, you can configure alarms based on the reality of your operation. Each alarm identifies a specific condition before it turns into a loss, cross-referencing consumption data and turning every reading into an actionable alert.

Continuous Consumption

Detects abnormal continuous consumption that may indicate a leak in the system.

Magnetic Attack

Detects the presence of an external magnetic field near the device, indicating a possible fraud attempt.

Reverse Flow

Detects flow in the opposite direction to the meter's normal operating direction.

Removal

Detects movement or displacement of the device relative to its original mounting point.

Excessive Flow

Detects flow above the configured maximum limit.

Oversizing

Detects when flow is systematically below the expected minimum, indicating a water meter oversized for the actual consumption profile.

Undersizing

Detects when flow is systematically above the expected maximum, indicating a water meter undersized for the actual consumption profile.

No Consumption

Detects a prolonged absence of consumption, which may indicate a stopped device, fraud, or a stuck water meter.

No Communication

Detects devices that have stopped sending readings, indicating a possible communication failure, critical battery, or an inoperative device.

Low Battery

Detects battery level below the configured threshold, allowing preventive action before communication is lost.

Out of Average

Detects when a device's daily consumption deviates significantly from its own historical pattern, indicating a possible leak, fraud, reading failure, or change in behavior.

Ready for regulated environments

Data that supports regulatory compliance.

The reliable historical data base supports meeting sanitation sector targets and requirements, with accurate tracking of loss and continuity indicators.
