The Stuttgart-based start-up aims to increase awareness of water consumption, thereby addressing environmental issues, including water shortages and droughts. 

With the use of their plug-and-play adapter, hydrop systems has made it easy to determine how much water is being consumed in a household. After the adapter connects to the water meter, the user-friendly central monitoring platform analyzes in detail the consumption of water within a specific period. Using the results, the start-up will optimize water utilization, enhancing a household’s efficiency and lowering costs.

With the help of artificial intelligence, hydrop systems develops software that pinpoints exactly where water is being used, delivering an even more detailed analysis of consumption than is possible without such software. With this knowledge, preventive measures can be taken before problems like leakages and bursts occur.    

“At hydrop systems, we believe that we unlock the path to a greener and more resilient future through the fusion of sustainability and cutting-edge AI innovations. We are excited to be part of the Cyber Valley, where the synergy between research, industry, and start-ups in this domain is shaping a brighter future for all,” says Katrin Kreidel, CEO and Co-Founder of hydrop systems.
