Water Management Irrigation and Water Infrastructure
The iSAtech PayU-Cloud offers 24-hour access to water and better control over the quantities dispensed. Intelligent prepaid delivery systems have major advantages for the industry and the irrigation sector in particular, and they help avoid peak loads and payment defaults. A secure and transparent supply is ensured for the consumer. Water Management
Smart standpipes Intelligent irrigation with the Omni Control Node
Smart, networked irrigation systems are used to irrigate farmland and green spaces. Consumers have direct access to the water infrastructure and can pay for credit in advance using an NFC card, online with their smartphone, or in the traditional way by invoice. Suppliers can limit water volumes or scale prices according to the time of day. The iSAtech PayU-Manager also gives them a complete overview of quantities and locations.
Self-sufficient water delivery — networked intelligence
The Omni Control Node can record system states in real-time and transmit them encrypted via a wireless connection to the iSAtech PayU-Cloud for evaluation. Based on these evaluations, the OCN can control battery-powered actuators. This technology is used as a telecontrol system for various applications, such as irrigation (in combination with a water meter and valve).
Monitoring without Limits
Consumption data is recorded and billed online. Every transaction is traceable for the supplier and the user in the PayU-Manager.

Smart Sensor Technology PayU-Manager as a decision support system
With the iSAtech PayU-Manager and the intelligent control units, the water infrastructure can be optimized and the system stabilized. The PayU-Manager provides a quick system overview, calculates demand forecasts and suggests predictive control interventions. For example, the supplier can create tariffs based on the time of day and flexibly adjust water prices for customers during peak periods or limit water volumes. This regulates demand without severely affecting consumers.
Optimal planning and proactive control

For huge volumes of water, for industry, agriculture, or entire communities, it may be necessary to optimize or restrict the supply. In some situations, customers such as farms, factories, or mines account for up to 90% of local water demand.

The system states determined by the Omni Control Node flow together in the iSAtech PayU-Cloud. Further data can be added via different interfaces. The PayU-Manager evaluates all collected data and provides a system overview. It also serves as a decision support system. With the help of artificial intelligence methods, supply and demand forecasts are created from the collected data. The system identifies critical supply situations and proposes specific optimized control recommendations. In addition, various parameters can be changed to simulate different scenarios.
