Mount Osmond Golf Club.

AEI SmartBox technology was installed at Mount Osmond Golf Club in South Australia, a stunning course that lies in the foothills of the popular Adelaide Hills region. The AEI SmartBox automatically controls the operation of the clubs bore pump system and manages the onsite dam level, taking into consideration pump efficiency parameters and energy cost dynamics.

A comparison between pre and post implementation periods was conducted (Jan 2023 vs Feb 2023) to determine the benefits of the system with incredible outcomes identified.

The AEI SmartBox system achieved a 30% energy cost reduction, despite pumping identical water volume, and while maintaining optimal dam level throughout.

Additional Benefits.

  • The AEI SmartBox technology automatically avoided peak period operation and as a result network demand charges can be significantly reduced, adding to further cost savings for the club.

  • The fully automated system prevents the need for course maintenance staff to manually interfere with bore pump operations, allowing them to simply monitor or provide input when operational requirements change via the supporting AEI App.

  • The AEI SmartBox system intelligently improved the pumping efficiency of the bore pump system, reducing energy consumption by 23%. This significantly reduces the clubs carbon footprint.

  • By maintaining higher than average and consistent dam level in the most cost effective manner, the AEI SmartBox system has provided a more secure water supply for the club without additional energy costs.
