Raw Description
Description | Founded in Hong Kong in 2012, ECO Technologies Limited (an affiliate of Carbon Exchange (Hong Kong) Limited) is at the forefront of smart water solutions through its innovative WiiNoT (Water Information and Intelligence Network Operations Technologies), a city-wide water management platform. Our dedicated technology team specialises in enhancing water systems by integrating AI-IoT technologies for efficient management. We focus on monitoring hidden water leakage in pipelines, reducing non-revenue water by applying sensing technologies. Comprising researchers, engineers, manufacturing experts, ICT system developers, product designers and ESG consultants, we are committed to securing water resources and promoting sustainable urban living, ensuring that citizens enjoy a high quality of life. || Product | WiiNOT is a comprehensive smart water management solution combining advanced hardware and intelligent software. It features IoT-enabled water meters with wireless transmission (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE Cat-1) for real-time monitoring and automatic data logging. Its AI-powered platform offers leak detection, usage analysis, forecasting, and alert notifications through a centralised dashboard. The system integrates easily with building management systems via open APIs. Since 2018, over 50,000 units have been deployed by the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department and other institutions, achieving significant water savings, reduced labour costs, and progress towards sustainability goals. | Follow Us

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

ECO Technologies Limited is a leader in smart city infrastructure, specifically focused on the WiiNoT (Water Information and Intelligence Network Operations Technologies) platform. They specialize in AI-IoT integrated water management, leak detection, and real-time monitoring for large-scale municipal applications like the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department. Their technical stack involves advanced sensing hardware, wireless communication (LoRaWAN/NB-IoT), and data analytics.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 78/100 (Strong Adjacent Tech / Strategic Partner)

Why this Score? ECO Technologies relies heavily on the longevity and accuracy of sensors submerged in municipal water systems. Diamond, specifically Boron Doped Diamond (BDD), is the world's most robust electrochemical sensing material. While ECO currently focuses on flow and leakage (physical parameters), their roadmap toward "comprehensive water management" and ESG goals will inevitably require chemical sensing (Chlorine, pH, COD, Heavy Metals) and anti-fouling coatings, where 6C’s MPCVD technology provides a 10x lifecycle improvement over traditional metal or polymer-based sensors.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Water Quality Sensing BDD Electrodes BDD has the widest electrochemical potential window and lowest background current. Enables WiiNoT to detect trace heavy metals and organic pollutants with zero sensor drift.
Sensor Longevity Diamond Protective Coating Direct MPCVD coating on sensor diaphragms/probes. Prevents bio-fouling and mineral scaling, extending the calibration intervals of WiiNoT IoT units from months to years.
Energy Efficient IoT SCD/PCD Heat Spreaders For high-bandwidth LTE Cat-1 gateways or AI-edge processors within the WiiNoT hub. Diamond’s thermal conductivity (2000 W/mK) prevents thermal throttling in uncooled outdoor enclosures.
Advanced Disinfection BDD Anodes for EO Transition from just "monitoring" to "treating." BDD electrodes enable Electrochemical Oxidation (EO) to kill bacteria and degrade micro-pollutants directly at the source without chemicals.
In-house R&D Custom MPCVD Reactor Enables ECO Technologies to develop proprietary diamond-based "Lab-on-a-Chip" sensors in-house for the next generation of WiiNoT hardware.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "Your WiiNoT units are deployed in massive volumes for the WSD. How is ECO Technologies addressing the 'sensor drift' and bio-fouling issues inherent in long-term deployment in non-potable or wastewater environments?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can upgrade ECO Technologies' sensing hardware from simple flow monitoring to 'Active Chemical Intelligence' using Boron Doped Diamond, ensuring your IoT nodes last 10 years without maintenance."
