Charity:Water
Developing predictive maintenance sensors for clean water infrastructure in the most remote areas of the world.
The Brief
Charity Water provides clean water to remote populations in developing nations around the world. Their charity focusses on delivering donor’s money right to the point of impact. Their brief to RPD was to help them monitor and maintain their water pumps to ensure the continuous supply of fresh water.
The Project
RPD worked with Charity Water and their existing engineering partner to prepare the sensor for scalable manufacture. It was critical that the product displayed a conscientious supply chain that was capable of scaling as fast as the markets required.
The Product
The sensor fits to hand pumps across the world, to monitor usage and flow rates. This data is used to inform when maintenance is to be carried out on a pump, ensuring travel to these remote areas can be planned without letting people down.
