How the Makawai Monitoring System Works

Makawai improves the efficiency of your water usage by instantly detecting any water misuse.

Our single-source smart solution combines utility-grade AI-powered technology with a high-efficiency water management conservation device and AMX meter which are installed on the user side of the municipal water connection. Water bill usage data helps establish a baseline, which measures water conservation, economic savings, and environmental impact.  

The system allows for innovative, intelligent, and intuitive water optimization while also working as a real-time detection and alert system to help eliminate potential damage, disruption, and expense caused by leaks. 

Our proprietary bundle of services is unique in the marketplace and is led by expert technology and backed by intelligent engineering.

Usage Pattern Learning

Once the Makawai system has been installed on the water main, it instantly begins the process of collecting and analyzing water data, working predictively to determine usage patterns that fine-tune and validate the baseline and establish notification thresholds. The AI-powered system then continues to collect, process and recalibrate water data ensuring maximum efficiency and measurable conservation. The system is so precise that even the smallest leaks can be identified, saving your organization time and money.

Baseline Measures Water Conservation, Economic Savings & Environmental Impact

Once a baseline has been determined and the system has identified any abnormal usage patterns (barring set thresholds on acceptable deviations), predictive analysis AI software can evaluate and anticipate the actual dollar impact over a set period. The system continually fine-tunes and extrapolates data, learning and improving predictively to ensure that any deviations from the normal pattern trigger immediate multi-party notification, saving time and potential costly damage and disruption. Usage and Impact reports are available reflecting demonstrated savings, water conservation and ecological benefits.

AI Powered Utility Grade Monitoring & Leak Detection. Intelligence You Can Trust

Leaks and water damage are the industry loss leader in commercial risk management, exceeding over $2.5 billion in losses each year.  Makawai’s advanced water conservation and real-time leak detection system offers utility-grade technology that identifies water damage in real-time saving untold avoided expense and business disruption.
