  • Publication number: 20250097297
    Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The water management system also includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions, such as associating the first fixture identifier with a first location classification, organizing the first fixture into a first group of fixtures based at least in part on the first location classification, receiving operational data associated with an actuation of the first fixture, and processing the operational data which may include comparing the processed operational data to historical data, and determining a deviation in performance at least partially based on the comparison of the data to the historical data.

  • Publication number: 20250047746
    Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The system further including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions such as receiving the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, processing the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, comparing the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier to at least one target operational parameter of a plurality of target operational parameters, and determining a status of the first fixture based at least in part on the comparison of the data to the at least one target operational parameter.

  • Publication number: 20250047745
    Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point device including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The water management system also includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions such as receiving the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, associating the first fixture identifier with a first location classification and a first type classification, determining the maintenance needs of the first fixture, identifying one or more replacement parts associated with the maintenance needs, and recommending the one or more replacement parts to a user.

  • Patent number: 11543791
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining operation commands for a fixture within an area of a facility. One example system includes a processor configured to: receive, from a first fixture associated with an area within a facility, operational data related to an operation of the first fixture; receive, from a second fixture associated with the area within the facility, environmental data related to a condition of the area; process the operational data and the environmental data through a status model to determine a status for the area, the status model trained with operational data and environmental data previously received from the first fixture, the second fixture, and other fixtures associated with the facility; determine an operation command for a third fixture associated with the area within the facility based on the status; and provide the operation command to the third fixture for execution.
