Key Features

Continuous water pressure and temperature monitoring
Water quality analysis for corrosivity
Vibration sensing on pipes
Predictive alerts and root-cause reports

Target Users: Facility managers and owners of industrial metal fabrication shops (or similar industrial settings) with 10,000+ sq ft facilities

Revenue Model: $199/device hardware + $29/month per sensor subscription, with tiered plans for multi-sensor deployments
