The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide a simple to use "smoke alarm" for water appliances coupled with a level of insight into water consumption and failures that has never existed before. What was once a reliance on water meter data for the sum of all appliances is now a detailed understanding for each individual water fixture. This unprecedented access to water usage data at an individual appliance level will provide the opportunity for increased data analytics research, predictive analytics for failure modes and maintenance scheduling, and better understanding of human consumption habits to identify and solve problems that allow organizations to meet aggressive sustainability goals. Only recently has there been an ability for hospitals to aggregate their medical information to aid research efforts to treat and cure chronic diseases and illnesses. Mobius is looking to do the same for any building owner for water, as the growing concern to continued, reasonable costing fresh water becomes even greater.The proposed project will provide the opportunity for the development of an IoT Smart Water Management System (SWMS). It will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to both identify leaks so they can be corrected before wasting precious water and energy, and provide predictive analytics for actionable insights. This will significantly improve water appliance maintenance and prevent costly water damage to properties. Further, at a macro level, it provides municipality level insight for maintenance and crisis management. The vision is to easily install these SWMS devices into any existing water fixture. It will take less than 60 seconds to install and connect to the Internet. The design goal is to be cost-effective from the start. The SWMS provides an affordable and easy way to adopt data driven decision making into current operations. The critical objectives set forth in this proposal are centered on achieving a simple "smoke alarm" like warning of a fault coupled with a robust analytics platform. Finally, these will be designed as highly durable IoT devices that require little or no maintenance.

该小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是为水器具提供一种简单易用的“烟雾报警器”，并提供前所未有的对水消耗和故障的深入了解。曾经依赖所有电器总和的水表数据，现在可以详细了解每个单独的水装置。这种对单个设备级别的用水数据的前所未有的访问将为加强数据分析研究、故障模式和维护计划的预测分析以及更好地了解人类消费习惯以识别和解决问题提供机会，从而使组织能够实现积极的可持续发展目标。 直到最近，医院才有能力汇总其医疗信息，以帮助治疗和治愈慢性疾病的研究工作。 随着对持续、合理成本淡水的日益关注，莫比乌斯希望为任何建筑业主做同样的事情。拟议的项目将为物联网智能水管理系统（SWMS）的开发提供机会。它将使用人工智能和机器学习来识别泄漏，以便在浪费宝贵的水和能源之前纠正泄漏，并提供预测分析以获取可行的见解。这将显着改善水器具的维护并防止水对财产造成代价高昂的损害。此外，在宏观层面上，它为维护和危机管理提供了市级见解。我们的愿景是轻松地将这些 SWMS 设备安装到任何现有的供水装置中。安装并连接到互联网将花费不到 60 秒的时间。设计目标是从一开始就具有成本效益。 SWMS 提供了一种经济实惠且简单的方法，将数据驱动的决策纳入当前运营中。该提案中提出的关键目标集中于实现简单的“烟雾警报”，例如故障警告以及强大的分析平台。 最后，这些将被设计为高度耐用的物联网设备，几乎不需要维护或不需要维护。
