Water ATM Software
Run a Water ATM network like one connected business
Hydrotec built the software behind its own Arosia Water ATM product line — RFID, coin and digital-payment dispensing units deployed across India. The same platform manages machine health, sales, water quality and maintenance for any Water ATM fleet, from a single kiosk to a citywide network.

The problem
A fleet of kiosks is hard to run without software
A Water ATM is simple for the person filling a bottle. Running dozens or hundreds of them — profitably, safely and with consistent water quality — is an operations problem most hardware vendors don't solve.
- No visibility into which machines are online, low on stock, or down for maintenance
- Cash and digital payments reconciled manually across sites
- Water quality checked in person instead of continuously
- Maintenance requests that arrive by phone call, if at all
The Hydrotec approach
Fleet management built specifically for Water ATMs
Every Arosia Water ATM reports machine status, dispensing activity, revenue and (where sensors are fitted) water quality back to Hydrotec's platform. Operators get one console for the entire fleet — the same console model applies to third-party Water ATM hardware integrated over Hydrotec's Water ATM API.

From the field
An Arosia Water ATM in the field. Hydrotec's software runs the machines behind this hardware — dispensing, payments, quality readings and maintenance state all report back to the same platform documented on this page.
Features
What's included
Fleet status
Online/offline state, tank level and dispensing activity for every machine, updated in real time.
Payments & revenue
RFID card, coin and digital payment transactions reconciled automatically across machines.
Water quality
pH and TDS readings tied to each machine where quality sensors are installed.
Location & mapping
See every deployment on a map, grouped by city, region or operator territory.
Maintenance tracking
Faults and service requests logged against each machine with resolution history.
Alerts
Automatic alerts for offline machines, low tank levels or out-of-range quality readings.
Architecture
From the dispensing unit to your operations console
Each Water ATM connects to Hydrotec's cloud platform, which powers the operator dashboard, the customer and operator mobile apps, and any system you integrate through the Water ATM API.

Use cases
Where this fits
Municipal drinking water access
Public-facing kiosks in parks, transit hubs and civic spaces — see our NDMC, New Delhi deployment.
Solar & off-grid deployments
Machines running on solar with battery backup in areas with unreliable grid power, as deployed in Konark, Odisha.
Community & institutional access
Schools, bus depots and community centers where a fixed refill point serves daily demand.
Technical detail
How machines connect
Arosia units and integrated third-party hardware report over standard connectivity to Hydrotec's ingestion layer.
- Dispensing events, tank levels and payment transactions synced from each machine
- Water quality sensors (pH, TDS) reporting on a scheduled or continuous basis
- RFID, coin and digital payment modes supported on Arosia hardware

}Why it matters
Benefits
One console, every machine
Stop chasing status updates by phone or site visit.
Faster maintenance response
Know a machine is down before customers do.
Reconciled revenue
Cash, RFID and digital payments in one ledger per machine.
Quality accountability
A continuous record of water quality, not a one-time certificate.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this software tied to Arosia hardware only?
The platform was built to run Hydrotec's own Arosia Water ATM units, and that's where it has the deepest integration today. The same data model and Water ATM API are designed to support other Water ATM hardware — talk to us about your specific machines.
What payment methods does the Arosia Water ATM support?
RFID card-based dispensing, coin-based dispensing and digital payment dispensing, per Hydrotec's current product specification.
Can machines run off-grid?
Yes. Arosia units support grid electricity, solar power and lithium-ion battery backup — as deployed at the solar-powered kiosk near Konark, Odisha under a government renewable energy scheme.
How is water quality monitored on a Water ATM?
Where quality sensors are fitted, pH and TDS are logged and reported through the dashboard alongside daily, weekly and monthly usage reports.
