Meet Steven Tye
Steven’s Role as a Smart Water Utilities Leader at Tyeware
Steven Tye has been the Owner, Director, and Solutions Consultant at Tyeware for the past 14 years and counting. He has been involved in smart metering projects since 2011 and has experience working with over 50 water utilities on smart metering pilots and rollouts. Tyeware is an internationally recognized digital water metering & IoT solutions provider leading Australia’s IoT revolution in smarter water solutions for agriculture.
Data Science in Smart Water Metering Solution
They developed the MiWater and MyH2O systems for Mackay Regional Council and now partner with Taggles Systems for the Australian and international commercialisation of this software suite. MiWater processes, interprets and integrates data received from Automated Meter Infrastructure (AMI) to give utilities control and oversight over their water infrastructure, from the largest networks down to individual services. MiWater has assisted in identifying leaks totaling six billion litres of water, in turn, saving residents of the Mackay region hundreds of dollars every year. In addition, MiWater assisted in regulating water consumption among the town’s population, allowing the Mackay Regional Council to reach its goal of reducing annual water consumption by 10%.
Customer Experience and Telemex
More recently, Tyeware has developed “Telemex”, an industry-first integrated CRM, demand management and customer portal for water irrigation schemes. It includes the full management of water allocations, titles, transfers and changeovers, as well as meter management, scheme management and automated notifications. At the heart of Telemex is a customer portal used by water customers to lodge, manage and visualise the impact of water orders. Telemex builds on Tyeware’s expertise and innovation across the Australian water industry to cultivate water sustainability through customer-centric solutions.
