Lorenzo Cagnoni Award: Rheticus Network Alert recognized as green innovation at Ecomondo
The value of technological innovation for the environment
Today more than ever, infrastructures and urban networks are facing unprecedented environmental challenges: from the impacts of climate change to ground movements and the scarcity of water resources. In this context, utilities need advanced tools that enable them to anticipate and mitigate risks, while at the same time improving the efficiency and sustainability of their services.
This is precisely where Rheticus Network Alert comes in — Planetek Italia’s solution that leverages Earth Observation to continuously monitor infrastructures such as water and sewer networks. Thanks to a predictive approach, the service makes it possible to detect anomalies and instabilities before they turn into serious damage, supporting the planning of targeted interventions and reducing inspection costs and times.
Recognition at Ecomondo
During the 2024 edition of Ecomondo, the most important European trade fair dedicated to ecological transition and sustainable innovation, Rheticus Network Alert was awarded the prestigious Lorenzo Cagnoni Award for Green Innovation. This award is reserved for solutions that stand out for their positive environmental impact and for fostering the adoption of green technologies.
The recognition highlights the value of the research and technological development that Planetek has been investing in for years, focusing on digital solutions that enable more responsible management of resources and territory.
Why does this matter for utilities?
With over 500,000 km of networks monitored worldwide, Rheticus Network Alert is establishing itself as a benchmark for water and sewer infrastructure management. By harnessing satellite data, utilities can transform their maintenance approach from reactive to predictive, ensuring more resilient networks and a more reliable service.
