PYDRO

Pydro GmbH is a German clean-tech company that specializes in digitizing water supply networks through self-powered, smart monitoring solutions. The company developed the PT1, a turbine-powered flow meter that harvests energy directly from water flow to measure pressure, temperature, and volume without the need for batteries or external power. This technology provides continuous, real-time data transmission via LTE-M and NB-IoT, enabling a plug-and-play approach to network monitoring that remains functional even in challenging environments like flooded chambers.

By eliminating the need for battery maintenance and simplifying sensor deployment, Pydro provides water utilities with an efficient way to manage district metering areas (DMAs). The system supports active water loss management, leak detection, and hydraulic model validation, helping utilities reduce water waste and improve operational efficiency. Founded in 2016 and supported by various European innovation grants, the company focuses on transforming traditional infrastructure into intelligent, sustainable water networks through its integrated hardware and data analytics platform.
