From March 25 to 27, 2025, Maddalena S.p.A. took part in the Specialization Course on Water Systems Management, hosted at the Hotel Vittoria in Brescia. The initiative, structured into four thematic sessions, offered an important opportunity for dialogue and updates on digitalization, innovation, and investment in water systems.
We actively participated in the second day, Wednesday, March 26, dedicated to the theme “Innovation and Investment in Water Systems”, with a joint presentation alongside Acque Bresciane.
Alberto Pecile, Sales Director Italy at Maddalena S.p.A., and Ettore Acerbis, Technical Director at Acque Bresciane, presented the project “Smart Water Ecosystem”, a tangible synergy between Smart Meters, the Network, and the Advanced Central System (SAC).
A targeted and technologically advanced initiative aimed at addressing the challenges of data collection and network efficiency in the municipalities of the Brescia province.
The project plans to replace 36,000 traditional meters with static smart meters featuring LoRaWAN/wM-Bus connectivity by 2026, ensuring accurate readings and efficient communication over a dedicated network.
A concrete step towards a smarter, more sustainable, and integrated water management.
To date, Maddalena S.p.A. has supplied over 15,000 Smart ElecTo SONIC meters for the project, offering integrated data communication thanks to innovative electronic clockwork with multiprotocol radio technology.
Among the key strengths of this multi-stakeholder project are: the appointment of a dedicated project manager for each area (meters, network, and SAC), the organization of a kick-off meeting to share timelines and align expectations, bi-weekly meetings to monitor development progress, the definition of KPIs and checklists for validation (including the SAC component), and continuous engagement with all stakeholders of the authority to effectively gather and integrate requirements for data usage.
