IoT Introduced to Fire Truck Water Supply Touch Dispensers
Providing technologies for smart city strategies, such as predictive maintenance, management automation, and efficiency analysis


Wind River, a leading software company for the Internet of Things (IoT), announced today that fire pump manufacturer Waterous has unveiled 'Tellurus,' the industry's first digital touchscreen control panel for intelligent water supply and foam pump control based on Wind River's technology.

Tellurus significantly streamlines firefighters' preparations and reduces time, ensuring that there is no delay in saving lives and protecting property during emergencies. Major city fire departments in North America are operating Tellurus on their fire trucks, and Waterers has adopted the Wind River Helix Device Cloud to support these innovations, which enables remote software updates, technical support for troubleshooting, and device configuration.

Jonathan Gamble, Chief Product Engineer at Waterers, said, “Customer service groups are now able to monitor and track each asset used in the field. We know which equipment is turned on and when, and since each individual unit is assigned a serial number, we can secure the entire history of the corresponding fire truck.” "Accordingly, optimal performance can be guaranteed through the remote service capabilities of the 'Device Cloud' without sending service engineers to the site," they explained.

Through Wind River's IoT device management platform, 'Device Cloud,' Waterers has secured the capability to provide differentiated customer service. Based on this, the company has strengthened its business competitiveness while optimizing revenue from parts replacement and repairs for devices in service. Furthermore, the city authorities are now able to remotely manage the entire fire truck fleet and efficiently coordinate firefighting operations based on data collected from the 'Device Cloud.'

In addition, the 'Device Cloud' enables connecting Tellurus to other systems within the fire truck to retrieve vehicle data, or integration with all external applications, including currently operating IT systems and analytics cloud services.
