WATER use cases
Network & plant digitalization
Mapping of the water network through geometric, topographic, and aboveground asset surveys, useful for verifying the routes and positioning of pipelines, control systems, and water infrastructure. GIS helps understand how to perform water network maintenance, rehabilitation, and management activities
Hydraulic modelling
Mathematical network modeling & installation of flow and pressure measurement instruments to analyze network behaviour and optimize its use. Support for identifying DMAs (District Metering Areas) and PMZs (Pressure Management Zones) for active leak control
Leak detection
Approach combinig traditional on-field research based on satellite and AI technologies. It can prelocate critical sections, categorize them into classes, and retrieve information useful for pipe replacement investment planning, prioritizing on-field activities, and maximizing results in terms of leak per KM on checked network
Smart Water Management System
Network digital twin that, through GIS and other IT system integration shows the near-realtime network status and support analysis & simulation. It uses AI and machine learning to correlate information and produce risk models for faults, breakdowns, and predictive maintenance
Centralized Acquisition System & Smart Metering
Supply, installation, and connectivity of smart meters & device management through the Centralized Acquisition System (CAC) for device lifecycle management, consumption data analysis, user profiling, and alarm management
