According to data provided by Arera, one of our customers, which stretches for about 20 thousand kilometers, serving more than 260 municipalities, loses about half of the water it injects into its pipelines.

The system is divided into levels. The field level, consisting of the sensors acquire the significant parameters of the network through the use of innovative fiber-optic Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, is capable of simultaneously measuring flow rate, pressure and acoustic vibrations. The communication layer consists of the devices for data transmission from the sensors to the control center. Finally, the analysis layer (Decision Support System), located at the control center, consists of the software for advanced analysis of the acquired data, supplemented with the additional information available for locating leaks. The system thus operates through two phases: Pre-localization: localization of leaks using simulation tools based on AI, Machine Learning, and sensor data already in use by the Water Authority.
