SmartEmbed, based in Aix-en-Provence in France, develops and markets Eddo, a product range for saving water and energy. Eddo incorporates STid’s access control system. This alliance of companies in the Aix-en-Provence–Marseille area combines technology and the environment.
Eddo – for use at campsites, sports centres, water parks or pools – provides access to shower credits and shower time. Users identify themselves with a contactless bracelet using RFID technology. As they shower, an indicator light changes from green to red to inform them, in real time, of their water consumption and raise awareness of over-use. A web-based dashboard enables managers to view real-time consumption figures in their shower area, saving up to 45 per cent in water and energy.
Vincent Dupart, CEO of STid, says: “Our work involves finding ever more ergonomic and instinctive solutions,” Vincent Dupart, CEO of STid. “Eddo combines responsible innovation and high-level security, in particular by using the SSCP European communication protocol. We are delighted to combine our expertise with that of SmartEmbed to guarantee the security of IoT solutions!”
And Terence Huertas, Founding President of SmartEmbed, adds: “Eddo can be installed onto all existing shower systems, and forms part of an environmentally responsible approach. We are proud to draw on STid’s expertise in high-level security.”
