A large residential complex struggled with motor overrun, leading to excessive electricity consumption and inflated utility bills. By implementing Waltr A and Waltr C, the complex achieved significant reductions in motor overrun and saved over ₹15,07,085 annually.

Goals

The primary aim was to showcase the effectiveness of Waltr A and Waltr C in reducing motor overrun and electricity costs, while also contributing to extending equipment lifespan. This was achieved through real-time monitoring and automated pump control. Additionally, the goal was to establish a cost-effective and sustainable water management system for the residents.

Problem

The complex faced severe motor overrun issues, with pumps running for extended periods due to a lack of effective monitoring and control. This resulted in:

1. High Electricity Costs: Pumps ran for 45 hours daily, consuming 503.55 units/day, costing ₹4,129 per day, ₹1,23,870 per month, and ₹15,07,085 per year.

2. Increased Wear and Tear: Continuous operation caused overheating, breakdowns, and higher repair costs.

Approach & Solution

To tackle motor overrun and high electricity consumption, the complex implemented Waltr A and Waltr C, ensuring efficient pump operations and reduced costs.

1. Waltr A Installation: 40 Waltr A devices were installed across multiple water pumps for real-time monitoring. This helped the team detect overrun incidents early and gain key insights into pump operations.

2. Waltr C Integration: 39 Waltr C units were deployed to automate pump control, ensuring pumps ran only, when necessary, significantly reducing unnecessary runtime.

3. Data-Driven Optimization: The collected data on pump usage patterns enabled the team to optimize pump schedules based on real-time water demand, improving overall efficiency.

4. Real-Time Alerts & Intervention: Waltr A sent alerts for overrun incidents, allowing for immediate intervention to prevent excessive motor usage.

5. Automated Control for Efficiency: Waltr C ensured pumps operated only when required, drastically cutting down operational hours and electricity costs.

Benefits and Impact

The implementation of Waltr A and Waltr C led to direct and measurable improvements:

1. Cost Savings: Reduced motor overrun, and optimized pump run times saved ₹4,129 daily, leading to ₹1,23,870 monthly and ₹15,07,085 annually in electricity cost savings.

2. Lower Maintenance Costs: Preventive actions reduced wear and tear, leading to fewer repairs and smoother operations.

3. Energy Efficiency: Reduced electricity consumption supported sustainability goals while providing valuable energy management insights.

The Waltr subscription costs ₹39,500 per month (₹4,74,000 per year). Even with this cost, the complex saved ₹10,33,085 (₹15,07,085 - ₹4,74,000) annually compared to the costs incurred without monitoring and automation due to excessive electricity consumption and maintenance.

Resident Experiences

Residents noticed fewer disruptions in the water supply and observed lower utility bills. This led to an increase in overall satisfaction. A maintenance manager shared,

Since implementing Waltr A and Waltr C, we've seen a drastic reduction in motor overrun and electricity costs. It’s made water management much more efficient, and we're no longer burdened with frequent repairs or high utility bills.

With the integration of Waltr A and Waltr C, the residential complex transformed its water management system. The combination of advanced technology and smart automation not only reduced costs but also enhanced operational efficiency and sustainability. Waltr is helping residential complexes across the country achieve similar results, paving the way for smarter, more cost-effective water management solutions.
