TasWater, the water and sewage utility for Tasmania, Australia, has partnered with TaKaDu to detect leaks and reduce water loss.
TaKaDu is a global technology company that offers a software package to monitor water networks. TakaDu’s Central Event Management (CEM) analytics software will help TasWater proactively find leaks and bursts by using statistical algorithms and machine learning to detect anomalies.
TaKaDu’s CEM will also help to detect and manage many types of network events which will improve customer service, reduce repair times, and reduce energy costs.
Successful implementation of the software at TasWater over the next few years will provide detection and full life-cycle management of network events and incidents over the entire TasWater network, a high-level view of metered areas and network zones, including water loss information, and integration with other modules and solutions.
“This unique event management tool will enable TasWater to progress in its digital journey, and to be on par with some of the better performing utilities in the world,” said TasWater’s CEO, George Theo. “We will see benefits through the early detection of problems when they’re still small, leading to earlier repair times, lower costs, and more efficient utilization of our teams.”
TaKaDu Founder & CEO Amir Peleg said the company was excited to be working with TasWater and is looking forward to a great long-term partnership.
“TaKaDu is excited to partner with TasWater in its digital journey, leveraging on data, smart meters, and sophisticated analytics in order to bring higher level of visibility to the operational teams,” said Peleg. “Being present in the Australian market for a decade, we can see the huge impact of our CEM on customer service, operational efficiency and reduced water loss.”
