Company BackgroundOur company, Innovate 2 Elevate, is developing solutions that alleviate the challenges of water leaks and management through automation. We are striving to provide a useful service that fits the consumers needs to save money and cut down on water wastage. We will provide people with easily accessible control over their water usage while keeping them informed of the water they consume.JealindaCompany ObjectivesOur objective is to create a product, software, and phone notification system combined for simple monitoring and control of water usage, and early detections of malfunctions in water lines. Our company will provide a valuable product to our customers to save them money while protecting businesses from water damage and overly priced plumbing expenses.Jealinda, MaherAutomated Plumbing System Automated Plumbing System is an efficient collaboration of multiple sensor units working under the guidance of the PIC microcontroller commanded by .NET enabled PC which is programmed to control, allocate, manage and properly harness the water sources of a industrial consumer/construction contractorsOur product automates the plumbing units in commercial properties such as: hotels, hospitals, apartments and schools. Monitors and tracks the usage of water resources, alerts the user about leaks, and gives users remote control over their water units with the aid of their browser-enabled device.

JarrodInnovation aspect of systemNo other like the Automated Plumbing SystemThe History of water leakage and its advancement has advanced significantly. Leak detection has increased technologically. The Innovation of detecting leaks and reading them using software is what addresses the objective of our company.We differ by using hardware and software to detect water using graphs, sensors and micro-controllers.

JarrodViability of success We are adding the accessibility, control, and viable information for consumers along with providing an accurate direction for plumbers to locate sources of damage. Ultimately we would save time, efforts, and unnecessary actions that could have been problematic through the diagnostic processMaherHardwareMichaelLM35 Temperature SensorMatthew

How It WorksJarrodThe user is able to access web services hosted by our application through the browser. We maintain a structure file with the administrator we maintain the state of each device. True if it is currently on, false if it is off. The method to store structure in the file will be depicted in the implementation phase.

Software Functionality

The Flowmetry reads analog values from PIC, then compute flow time by using Bernoullis equation to do volumetric analysis. This application reads a recorded wave file, reads the bits per sample, quantizes it and samples it on the control window. The threshold being set is used to detect peak intrusions.JarrodAlert SystemThe user able to access web services hosted by our application through the browser. XML web service is unit of code that can be invoked via HTTP request.We maintain a structure file with the administrator we maintain the state of each device.Read sensor values asynchronously from PIC.The sensor values are stored into the database, which contacts the Flowmetry to gauge the usage.It gauges leak and levels by computing height from pressure.Jarrod

Global IntegrationThe availability of our software can be accessed anywhere with an internet connectionCustomers will receive prompt updates about their water consumption via textWebsite will be accessible and user will be able to create a user name and password to activate their account.

Jealinda/ MaherCost of Water DamageWater damage rates can vary depending on incident.Repairs can range from $1,500-$70,000. Areas where pipe freeze are more prone to bursting and plumbing incidents. One family had a pipe burst while on vacation and caused $200,000 of damage and had to vacate their home for 6 months.

Maher Prediction of SavingsSpending per 200 rooms on water damage and water wastage per year is up to $30,000 in hotelsThe System can save the average hotel $10,000 - $20,000 every yearThese savings pay for the cost of the system in as little as two years, while saving effort and being environmentally friendly .

MaherCost (per unit)For a system with 100 units and 4 faucets per unit, the cost is between $16,000 and $22,000 depending on pipe sizes.We will be marketing the system for $22,000 to $28,000 per 100 units.Most clients will be in the 200-300 unit range.MatthewEnvironmental Aspects Less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people. 100 leaky faucets waste three and a half thousand gallons a yearIn comparison to the benefits of Solar Panels the Automated Plumbing System will be fully functional for the entire fiscal year.

JealindaTarget AudienceLarge businesses, universities, and apartment complexes. We chose these multiuse buildings because our product will be most beneficial to those consumers.The System would be even easier to implement in structures still being built.
