Bronze Sponsor – Invenio Systems (HWM)
Invenio Systems became part of HWM in 2019. Invenio’s unique solutions for customer side leak detection (and now in distribution leakage), combined with HWM’s digital data model and connectivity provide a compelling value proposition for the UK and globally.
Invenio Systems is a market leader in customer-side leak detection, offering innovative, non-intrusive detection solutions for household and distribution-system leaks. Invenio’s technology identifies leaks on customer property and high water-use properties for metered billing. The ability to detect customer-side leaks is vitally important to water companies globally, as these areas of the network have been traditionally difficult to survey. Invenio has extended the use of these technologies to the supply and distribution system to detect and localise leaks that are not normally detectable by acoustic or pressure methods.
At HWM we design and manufacture monitoring and telemetry equipment for water, wastewater and gas networks, together with telemetry AMR and facilities optimisation products. Our primary focus for over 30 years has been clean water and network distribution system monitoring, however in the last few years we have expanded into new sectors which include gas, water and electricity meter consumption, gas network monitoring and sewer, river and flood monitoring. Our solutions have had a significant impact in helping our customers save time, effort, natural resources, energy and cost.
Invenio joined Halma as part of HWM in July 2019, creating a global leader in leakage reduction. The combination of HWM’s digital data model and connectivity, with Invenio’s innovative technology and machine learning capability creates a compelling new value proposition in the UK and globally.
