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.
