Leak detection with automatic CAFM work orders for an FM provider
Wireless leak, tank-level and pump monitoring connected to the FM provider's CAFM so that alarms become work orders.
01 · Challenge
The challenge
Water leaks in plant rooms and ceiling voids were being reported by occupants hours after they started.
02 · Existing system
- CAFM with API access
- Partial BMS coverage
- Manual tank checks during PPM rounds
03 · Devices & protocols
- LoRaWAN water leak detectors
- Water level sensors
- DI modules for pump run/trip
- Indoor gateway
04 · Integration
- CAFM REST API
- SMS / email escalation
- Monthly SLA reporting
05 · Results
- Leaks raised as work orders automatically
- Response times measurable against SLA
- Fewer manual tank inspections
