The AWARE Flood System, the Internet of Things (IoT)-based water inundation monitoring solution developed by Intellisense Systems, will now be produced, sold and supported through a new independent company called AWARE Monitoring Systems. This new company will manufacture AWARE Flood System components and support the Flashflood.info data-viewing site, which delivers water level data and system status updates directly to users’ computers and phones. Users can also send remote commands to their units via their Flashflood.info account.

AWARE Monitoring Systems is an employee-owned company led by a team with deep industry expertise in water level monitoring for municipal, emergency response and energy industries. The transition to production and servicing by a fully independent organisation will enable greater growth and flexibility for the AWARE Flood System, which is now in use by businesses and government agencies around the world.

Production and service support for the AWARE Flood System will now be based in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the system was first deployed in 2019 as a more cost-effective and accurate water level monitoring solution than legacy flood gauges. Thanks to data gathered by AWARE Flood System units, county officials can alert residents to flash flooding and map floodplains to determine which structures need to be raised and where to leave land undeveloped.

AWARE Monitoring Systems will manage service and support for all current and future AWARE Flood System and Flashflood.info users through their new web address www.awaremonitoringsystems.com. Existing AWARE Flood System customers can contact their current account representative for more information on this transition at 1-855-AWAREMS (1-855-292-7367).
