At Planet Smart City, we believe water is one of the most essential yet often underestimated resources in residential communities. Without clear visibility into how much water is stored and consumed, housing societies are left vulnerable to shortages, overflows, rising costs, and inefficient planning. Manual checks and guesswork still dominate many buildings, leaving little room […]

India’s urban landscape is undergoing a seismic transformation. As cities expand at breakneck speed, the demand for reliable, sustainable water infrastructure is quickly outpacing the capacity of traditional systems. This shift isn’t just driven by rapid urbanisation; it’s reinforced by increasing regulatory scrutiny and the pressing need to protect one of our most finite resources. […]

Understanding TDS in Drinking Water: Why It Matters  In today’s smart and health-conscious living environments, ensuring the quality of your drinking water is more essential than ever. One critical but often overlooked parameter is TDS, or Total Dissolved Solids. Whether you’re drinking from the tap, a filter, or a smart water dispenser, understanding the concept […]

In today’s world, expectations from residential communities have evolved dramatically. People no longer see their homes as just living spaces.

As population demands rise and municipal supply fluctuates, societies face mounting challenges in maintaining sustainable water access. Overflow wastage, dry tanks, manual errors, and reactive management often result in operational disruption and resident dissatisfaction. To address these inefficiencies, smart water infrastructure is becoming imperative, and at the forefront of this transformation is Planet Smart City. […]

In an era where resource management is critical, water automation is becoming an essential tool for ensuring efficient water usage. Water automation refers to the integration of advanced technologies, such as IoT devices, sensors, and system integration, to monitor and control water systems automatically. This allows for more precise management of water resources, reducing waste, […]

Lighting is a significant operational expense for many housing societies. As societies strive for cost optimisation, exploring more energy-efficient alternatives to traditional lighting has become crucial. Among the most discussed options today are motion-sensing lights. In this article, we shall examine the cost implications of both systems and explore the non-monetary benefits they bring. Understanding […]

Digital transformation is sweeping across industries, and the real estate sector is no exception. From finance to healthcare, technology has found its place in reshaping how businesses operate and serve their customers. In real estate, this transformation is embodied in Proptech. It’s the fusion of property and technology that is redefining how we design, build, […]

In high-rise buildings, managing water efficiently is a persistent challenge. From unmonitored consumption to undetected leaks, water wastage in towers affects operational budgets and sustainability goals. Housing societies and building managers are under increasing pressure to optimise water usage, control costs, and promote responsible consumption. However, traditional systems often rely on manual tracking and reactive […]
