Öresundskraft's primary challenge was the high cost of replacing old pipes due to undetected issues. The company aimed to implement technology that could help detect problems early, preventing the need for complete replacements of their asbestos cement pipes. By identifying irregularities early, Öresundskraft sought to maximize the lifespan of their infrastructure while avoiding expensive repairs.

The main challenges for Barnens Ö were ensuring that water, heating, and electricity systems functioned properly without the need for constant manual intervention. Any malfunction, such as a leak in the water supply or a temperature deviation in the heating system, could quickly escalate into a larger problem, especially with up to 3,000 people on the island during peak season. The need for remote monitoring and faster response times was clear.

Digital property monitoring is becoming increasingly common and has, in recent years, transformed maintenance and property care. By using sensors and digital solutions, Alingsåshem, the largest landlord in Alingsås Municipality, can identify and address issues before they impact tenants.

Extreme weather conditions are becoming more frequent, and both floods and water shortages present major challenges for communities. Maintaining control over water flows and groundwater levels is essential for preventing disasters and ensuring a reliable water supply. At the same time, extraneous water in wastewater systems results in unnecessary treatment costs. AI and IoT-based monitoring can optimise water management, reduce costs, and mitigate the risk of damage to infrastructure and the environment.

The Intelligent Flood Protection project in Pudasjärvi, Finland, highlights how advanced water management solutions can address seasonal flooding challenges.
