Cyient to Release Mobius, a SaaS-Based Solution for Utility Company Outage Planning and Scheduling, Powered by Microsoft Azure

Leave a comment

– Solution from Microsoft Gold Partner Cyient leverages Microsoft technologies to address challenges faced by utilities industry

HYDERABAD, India, June 15, 2021 — Cyient, a global engineering and technology solutions company, has announced the launch of Mobius, a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based solution and decision support platform. Mobius—hosted on Microsoft Azure—consolidates the outage planning and approval process within a central location to provide improved information flow for optimizing schedule plans.

Mobius provides customers with:

  • A robust and secure outage planning, scheduling, and visualization system built on a strong communication platform for addressing ongoing and future outages and curtailments
  • Transparency in communicating planned outages to all connections that may be impacted
  • Reduced outages on their network and easy risk/opportunity tracking, helping reduce outage costs that can affect operational budgets

Commenting on the launch, Kimberley Reed, Product Owner at Cyient, said, "We’re excited about the launch of Mobius. Planned network outages are a routine requirement for most utilities. With the growing need for decarbonization initiatives and increasing number of distributed energy resource (DER) customers connecting to existing networks, utilities are faced with the challenge of improved communication and transparency of planned outages with DER customers."

In developing Mobius, Cyient extensively employed the following Microsoft offerings:

    1. Azure DevOps was used to manage the solution backlog and roadmap, enabling continuous enhancement and functionality for Mobius with minimal disruption during customer rollouts.
    2. Azure provides a scalable environment to offer Mobius as a SaaS solution by boosting connectivity among corporate users and accounts, as well as between external DER customers and network planners.
    3. Azure Portal is employed to manage application elements.
    4. Azure Blob Storage is used to store outages and site attachments so they can be created and viewed by all users in a centralized location.
    5. Azure Application Insights and Dashboards enables the Cyient product support team via the continuous monitoring of the application and microservices.
    6. Azure SQL Database provides the ability to manage and easily scale the database as required.

"The Microsoft Azure cloud platform was the development back end for Mobius. Integration with Azure DevOps completely removed any manual deployment tasks and provided a repeatable deployment process that enabled Cyient to focus on testing, with the certainty that any issues after deployment would be the result of code changes rather than missed dependencies during deployment," Reed explained. "Azure DevOps provided a centralized tool to enable us to manage our product backlog, define sprints, and store our code in the Git-backed code repository. This greatly simplified the product release process and subsequent rollout to customers and end-users."

AI-based Platforms Transform the Global Water Sector, Finds Frost & Sullivan

Leave a comment

Technological advancements that require minimal maintenance or human interference become key value proposition differentiators in the water sector

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Digitalization Powering the Global Water Market, 2020, finds that smart sensors with advanced artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based data analytics platforms are on the rise in the global water sector as they require minimal maintenance or human interference. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the sector’s technological need following supply chain disruptions and a labor shortage during lockdowns, which adversely impacted the growth of the water market globally. Due to the pandemic, the global water market  declined to $805.31 billion in 2020 from $947.89 billion in 2019. The market was projected to reach $1,014.54 billion in 2020, registering an impressive growth of 7%.

Cellular communication technologies, such as narrowband Internet of Things (NB IoT) and long-term evolution for machines (LTE-M), could become key enablers of growth penetration and digital transformation," said Paul Hudson, Energy & Environment Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Going forward, the product-as-a-service business model would become the most subscribed among customers for its equal risk allocation and ability to provide high value to customers."

Hudson added: "Smart decentralized water and wastewater treatment solutions are disrupting the market significantly. Low OPEX and holistic economic sustainability have become key drivers that enable the growth of decentralized treatment systems. Value-add services and solutions such as decision and predictive intelligence, along with a smart product line and effectively leveraging e-commerce platforms, could improve customer relationships and increase loyalty. These features have gained precedence due to the pandemic."

Fluidra® introduces the NEW Blueriiot™ Smart Water Analyzer that makes balancing water easy with accurate anytime, anywhere readings and alerts

Leave a comment

When it Comes to Maintaining Water Chemistry it’s Time to Get Connected. Stay Balanced.

SAN DIEGO, May 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Never worry about pool water being out of balance again. The Blueriiot Smart Water Analyzer from Fluidra takes precise readings and lets you know if there’s an issue so you can address it immediately.

As a leading manufacturer of innovative pool products, Fluidra’s focus is on creating reliable products that make owning and maintaining pools easier for pool owners and more convenient for professionals.

A perfect solution for achieving properly balanced water in any type of pool — above-ground, in-ground, spa, salt or otherwise — the Blueriiot Smart Water Analyzer is a device that either sits in a pool or spa, or is installed professionally at the pool pad (with the Blue Fit50 attachment accessory) and accurately measures four key elements needed to keep water crystal clear —  pH, ORP (sanitation potential), conductivity (salinity) and water temperature. This advanced technological tool for testing water balance then sends its readings to the Blueriiot app on any mobile device for constant vigilance on-the-go, as well as to the FREE Virtual Pool Care website where pool service professionals can monitor all of their customers’ water care from one easy-view dashboard.

Available with built-in Bluetooth capabilities for manual poolside testing with the tap of a finger or with Wi-Fi connectivity (when paired with the supplemental Wi-Fi Bridge) for round-the-clock watch with automatic chemistry readings taken throughout the day — the Blueriiot Smart Water Analyzer helps prevent common problems associated with unbalanced pool water, like algae blooms, corrosion, scaling, chlorine overdoses and more, before they begin.

A subscription-based app, you can choose the standard “GOLD” Bluetooth  version with basic manual operation, or get the premium benefits of Blueriiot “Platinum” (available only with the Wi-Fi enabled device) with automated, real-time readings and alerts sent straight to your smart device for immediate notification if water balance is anything less than perfect.

In such cases where there is an issue with water balance, chemical recommendations are provided, making it easy for pool owners to take matters into their own hands and allowing pool professionals to know exactly what supplies to bring — significantly reducing time spent resolving the issue and increasing the number of service visits they can make.

“Chemical tracking is an essential part of everyday pool maintenance and water balance should be checked periodically. With the information provided by the Blueriiot device, keeping water balanced is easier because you always know the status,” explains Mara McCartney, senior product manager of water care. “But what if you’re not there to check it? Small issues can quickly become big problems if your water balance is off. The Blueriiot Smart Water Analyzer not only provides peace of mind in knowing that there can always be someone watching over your water, it lets you know exactly what you need to do to bring it back to balanced. So, even when no one is physically there, someone can always be aware.”

Additionally, the Blueriiot Smart Water Analyzer keeps a record of past readings, giving professionals a clear look at how the pool system is performing between visits so that they can predict and prevent potential problems and identify if there’s a bigger issue at hand.

About Fluidra
Fluidra is a publicly listed company focused on developing innovative products, services and IoT solutions for the residential and commercial pool markets, globally. The company operates in over 45 countries and owns a portfolio of some of the industry’s most recognized and trusted brands, including Jandy®, Polaris®, and Zodiac®.
