TaKaDu: Putting the Utility in Control

TaKaDu helps water utilities take control over their water network and reduce Non-Revenue-Water, by giving real-time knowledge and alerts about the water distribution infrastructure. TaKaDu's Software-as-a-Service solution is quick to set-up and easy to use; it requires no changes to equipment or upfront investment.

With Water Infrastructure Monitoring, water utilities can better manage their water networks and effectively increase their water supply without searching for new water sources, over-using current sources, or producing more water.

Managing Water Networks with Infrastructure Knowledge

Water loss can be radically reduced by using information that already exists within the water network, such as online SCADA readings of network elements: flow meters, pressure gauges and quality sensors. TaKaDu takes this raw data and turns it into knowledge.

TaKaDu processes online and historical data, using advanced, patent-pending technology based on mathematical and statistical algorithms. A rich model of the water network is then created, taking into account patterns and spatial information. As a result, leaks, bursts and other anomalies that were previously invisible are detected. Meter and equipment issues can also be identified.

With no physical network changes, utilities using TaKaDu can:

Detect leaks, bursts and other network anomalies
Monitor mains and network "blindspots"
Identify meter malfunction and track water pipe network fixes
Monitor additional elements such as water quality, operations and pumping
Reduce damages resulting from loss events, leaks and bursts

The increased visibility into water network issues and operations lets utilities:

Track use based on season, day of week and other metrics
Easily make maintenance and upgrade decisions based on up to date reports
Ensure regulatory compliance with water quality and supply regulations
Prioritize fix and water pipe network maintenance decisions
Ensure that water mains, pumps and meter fixes and network changes occurred as planned.

No Capital Investment

TaKaDu is a remote Software-as-a-Service solution that presents alerts, reports and real time water network views to water utility personnel. Continuous raw network data is sent to the TaKaDu server, which pre-processes the data, finds events and anomalies and presents results to utility personnel.

Secure web access for utility personnel
No software installation
No equipment changes or physical sensors required
Uses existing data
Easy to set up additional accounts based on authorization level
Friendly user interface to track and view water network events

Water Infrastructure Monitoring

You cannot measure what you do not know. While large industrial players and utilities are starting to track their water resources, the need for more data and analysis persists"

TaKaDu's mission is to offer utilities Water Infrastructure Monitoring so they can reduce Non-Revenue Water, both real losses and apparent losses, and better manage their network. TaKaDu’s unmatched Software-as-a-Service solution requires no physical network changes or capital expenditures. The solution, based on patent-pending mathematical and statistical algorithms, uses existing network data (flow, pressure, quality, etc.). TaKaDu's solution also tracks water quality metrics, such as chlorine and turbidity levels. TaKaDu's solution is fully operational with utilities and partners in Europe, Australia, Latin America, Israel and the US.
