Challenges
Our client, Aritium, a leading provider of IoT solutions in healthcare, approached us with an exciting opportunity to partner with the Asturias Health Service on their latest mutual project. With over 213 health centers and clinics spread across 10,000 km2, serving a population of over 1 million, the Asturias Health Service faced a significant challenge in managing the energy efficiency of their properties. Traditional methods of controlling the heating system were expensive, uncoordinated, and required extensive manual labor, resulting in high energy bills and little data on usage patterns. The lack of real-time data made it difficult to optimize operations without undertaking costly major renovations.
Solution
We successfully addressed the primary challenge by the implementation of 100 Vicki LoRaWAN® Smart Radiator Thermostats on the existing old radiators. These innovative devices provide property managers with remote access to monitor and set schedules for the heating system, ultimately saving costs on fuel. The implementation of Vicki LoRaWAN® Smart Radiator Thermostats together with other manufacturer devices such as sensors for detecting open doors, temperature and humidity, resulted in a 30% reduction in costs in the first 6 months and a remarkable ROI of 12 months based on the first 3 months of usage. What's more Vicki LoRaWAN® Smart Radiator Thermostats, compatible with all standard radiators, as well as with majority of the industry sensors and devices can be easily installed within 24 hours. Additionally they are helping reducing CO2 emissions and improving carbon footprint.
