The challenge

Manual and Infrequent Water Data Collection

Many of Carbolean’s clients, including multinational corporations, face increasingly strict regulations concerning reporting energy and water consumption. The biggest challenge? Water consumption data was only available through annual invoices, making it practically impossible to track, analyze, or optimize usage effectively.

Carbolean needed a digital solution capable of automating data collection, improving reporting accuracy, and providing a detailed, real-time view of water consumption across multiple sites.

The Solution

Real-Time Monitoring & Leak Detection with Shayp

After evaluating various solutions, Carbolean chose Shayp for its ability to provide automated, real-time water consumption tracking. Beyond simply collecting data, Shayp’s technology also enabled Carbolean’s clients to detect leaks instantly, leading to significant water and cost savings.

How it works:

• Shayp’s devices were installed across multiple sites.
• Water usage data was collected in real-time and integrated into Carbolean’s Power BI dashboard.
• The system allowed clients to monitor different water sources and detect inefficiencies immediately.

A Word from Frédéric Witmeur, CYC2 Founder & Managing Director

"By adding Carbolean’s solution to Shayp’s services, clients gain an additional layer of insight with a visualization of their site’s water network topology. They also benefit from the ability to implement virtual water meters that calculate specific consumption. For example, hot water consumption can be derived from total water consumption minus cold water consumption."
