Opti is building the Internet of Stormwater to protect our water resources.

Alleantia supports machinery manufacturers and large enterprises with the most demanding needs using Internet of Things (IoT) turnkey solutions encompassing device integration to enterprise applications, remote surveillance and control, machines data analytics. Year founded: 2011 Revenue: $1 - 10 million (2014 est.)

We are an IoT company that hitches technology to business outcomes. Our Kaa Enterprise IoT Platform doesn’t just boast technical functions but aims directly at the strategic goals for modern enterprises. In the scope of our products and solutions, we actually deliver comprehensive, sustainable business models empowered by IoT. This is what drives our clients’ success stories forward.

PLVision is a turnkey solution development and consulting company specialized in the Internet of Things and Networking software development. We provide highly customized IoT solutions to industrial manufacturing companies to help them increase competitive advantage. For IoT solution and network product providers, we serve as a technology partner, leveraging our deep knowledge in computer networking and embedded systems to help them accelerate their product roadmap.

Stormwater management is one of the most pressing urban environmental issues in the developed world. In the US alone, we discharge over 900 billion gallons of raw sewage into natural bodies every year due to combined sewer overflows. In addition, stormwater runoff can carry pollutants from urban and agricultural land into natural water bodies, resulting in eutrophication. Furthermore, due to urbanization, stormwater often flows too quickly into local water bodies, stirring up sediment and wreaking havoc on local species. These issues, and others, are consequences of the timing and flow rate of stormwater release. Opti automatically controls when and how fast stormwater flows. This simple intervention can have a massive impact on the health of our water ecosystem. Opti started in 2007, when we needed a better way to manage the water flowing in and out of a salt marsh in the Northeast. To solve this problem, we embedded a web server on a control board and integrated internet-based information into the logic for a pneumatic valve to manage the inflow and outflow from a salt marsh. It worked. The system achieved the goals of the NOAA funded research project, and it improved the health of the salt marsh. We realized then that the integration of on-site sensor and weather forecast information into control logic of distributed systems had broad applications for improving the performance of engineered environmental systems. But doing so safely at a citywide scale, would require us to adopt new approaches to infrastructure specification, information management, network communications, and software development. We began, and continue to develop, the platform we now know as Opti on the Microsoft Azure cloud because it continues to lead the way in robust, redundant, and secure cloud platforms. Along the way, we collected a strong group of partners, completed a three-year WERF research study, patented some of our algorithms, and deployed projects throughout the US. We were growing quickly, and the need was greater than we could handle inside Geosyntec Consultants. We forged a partnership with MissionPoint Partners and in 2014 struck out as an independent company to focus our efforts where our platform could make the highest impact - optimizing stormwater management.

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings countless disruptive opportunities to the Enterprise. Any company can exploit IoT capabilities to optimize the use of resources, business processes, product quality. Moreover, Enterprises can then create innovative business models and competitive ‘pay per use’ or hybrid models for their industrial products, and additional services developed using ‘things information’. By creating its own Internet of Things Enterprises can get full and continuous information from devices, machines and systems, enable control and interactions, and use these features in new or existing business applications. This is why in Alleantia they talk about the Internet Of Own Things (IOOT), that every company must implement for supporting its specific business.

The Kaa platform has been implemented by KaaIoT for companies from nearly every major industry. Along with a fast project delivery and a custom-tailored feature set, they have got a seasoned partner to support them in their upcoming IoT initiatives.
