Hitachi Elevator (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., one of the group companies which is under control of Building Systems Business Unit, Hitachi, Ltd., manufactures lift equipment such as elevators. It has automated its tap water management by installing an automatic metering system to reduce the risk of water leaks from the tap water used in its facilities.
Automating data collection and analysis allows malfunctions, leaks, and failures during tap water use to be immediately identified. This reduces the risk of leaks. Using the new system, the business site discovered a leak in the water piping for daily use (5 m³/day), and the leak was quickly repaired.
