The optimization of water supply networks
CASE STUDY
We support Acque Bresciane with an innovative solution for optimizing water supply networks through predictive analytics.
Where: italy
Challenge
Acque Bresciane, operating in the Lombardy water sector, chose us to develop a project focused on the digitalization and engineering of information, specifically aimed at meeting regulatory requirements and managing Water Balance operations.
Approach
ARERA regulates the management of Technical Quality in the Integrated Water Service and requires providers to constantly monitor and improve the delivery of this service.
The need for accurate and centralized monitoring of technical quality indicators involves complex activities of data collection, aggregation, and calculation from heterogeneous sources and systems (GIS, management software, SCADA remote control, analysis laboratories, asset management, WFM, etc.).
This makes it essential to have a system equipped with functionalities that provide a 360-degree integrated view of the aqueduct system, enabling real-time monitoring of the current situation and simulation of future events or scenarios.
Solution
We developed the project called Water Operation, based on the Net@Dive product. The solution combines expertise in energy efficiency for industrial plants with deep knowledge of processes and needs in the Utilities market.
The project’s primary goal is to implement monitoring of ARERA’s RQTI indicators for technical quality—such as water losses, delivered water quality, continuity of the integrated water system, and environmental impact—in order to promptly plan appropriate interventions on the Water Network, in compliance with the requirements set by ARERA Resolution 917/19.
Net@Dive integrates with Net@Suite for automation in the Water sector (Net@2A and Geocall WFM). It will also be integrated with ArcGIS, ESRI’s system for Public Utilities, and, through specific APIs, with SCADA solutions.
Results
Predictive analysis for efficiency management
Integrated view of aqueduct-related phenomena
