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.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I期项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是为水上用具提供易于使用的“烟雾报警器”，再加上对用水量和以前从未存在的失败的深入了解。曾经依赖所有电器总和的水表数据是对每个单独的水灯的详细理解。这种前所未有的在单个设备级别获得用水数据的访问将为增加数据分析研究，预测性分析，对故障模式和维护时间表的预测分析以及对人类消费习惯的更好理解，以识别和解决使组织实现积极可持续性目标的问题。 直到最近，医院才有能力汇总其医疗信息，以帮助研究和治疗慢性疾病和疾病的研究工作。 Mobius希望为任何建筑物所有者做同样的事情，因为持续，合理的成本淡水的越来越关注变得更加越来越大。拟议的项目将为IoT Smart Water Management System（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量之前可以纠正它们，并为可行的见解提供预测分析。这将显着改善水上器具的维护，并防止对物业的昂贵水损害。此外，在宏观上，它为维护和危机管理提供了市政级别的见解。愿景是轻松地将这些SWM设备安装到任何现有的水灯具中。安装并连接到Internet将需要不到60秒。设计目标是从一开始就具有成本效益。 SWM提供了一种负担得起且简便的方法，将采用数据驱动决策制定到当前运营中。本提案中规定的关键目标集中在实现简单的“烟雾报警器”中，例如警告故障以及强大的分析平台。 最后，这些将设计为高度耐用的物联网设备，几乎不需要维护。
