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

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.
