Thames Water has developed a novel solution for understanding pressure transients in clean water networks. By applying machine-learning techniques on high-resolution pressure data from Syrinix PipeMinder-S (PM-S) devices, the Innovation team at Thames Water have been able to classify a majority of transients as normal network operations, and highlight unusual pressure events worthy of further […]
Real time alerts map migrated from demo to production environment The real time alerts map was built as a demonstrator in the VIP demo site of Vitens. It provides a display of real time data for technical customer care center (call center) and Central Operation Department (control room). Different types of real time data are […]
