AT&T Recently announced a contract with Atlanta-based Spring Water On Tap, a natural spring water supplier. AT&T will provide Spring Water On Tap with AT&T RFID Service which works seamlessly with Spring Water On Tap's existing wireless network infrastructure. The benefits of the service include precise, on-demand tracking of water inventories in residents' homes.
According to AT&T, a total of 1000 RFID units will be deployed in Atlanta, then an estimated of 6000 units in other cities within Spring Water On Tap operations across the Southeast will be deployed later.
"The core driver of our business is efficiency. We needed to develop a system to proactively and unobtrusively monitor the water levels of our customers' tanks in their homes," said Percy Jones, CEO, Spring Water On Tap. "AT&T has enabled our company to accomplish our mission of providing customers with a seamless supply of fresh spring water in their homes at all times."
Spring Water On Tap provides large permanent tanks to customers and maintains fresh spring water supplies in those tanks for all of customers' personal uses in the home. AT&T RFID Service enables wireless-based RFID tags to send regular signals to keep track of customer water levels and provides status updates, which are available for Spring Water On Tap staff to view with a Web browser anywhere on the company's wireless network.
With AT&T RFID Service, Spring Water On Tap also will be able to enhance the efficiency of distribution routes for its water delivery units, so that trucks are always dispatched to service customers in need and do not make unnecessary checkup stops. By viewing customer tank levels over the network, Spring Water On Tap delivery staff will be able to plan routes and water drop-offs more efficiently.
