Could AI-powered sound wave technology be the solution to a problem that wastes up to 70% of global drinking water through pipeline leaks?
FIDO Tech's AI system detected a hidden fire hydrant leak losing 7 gallons per minute in Arizona - a leak that might have continued unnoticed for 5 years.
EPCOR's dramatic transformation in Arizona saw water losses plummet from 27% to 10% after implementing this acoustic AI detection system.
The breakthrough in detecting leaks in plastic pipes addresses a critical challenge for southwestern US utilities, where these materials are increasingly common.
How do 4,554 sensors across a 160-square-mile service area in San Tan Valley work together to pinpoint invisible water leaks?
From London's Thames Water to Mexico's Querétaro State Water Commission, this technology is making waves across diverse global locations.
EPCOR encountered utilities in Arizona with staggering water losses between 30-40% before intervention.
Deep-learning AI analyzes acoustic signals to determine both leak location and size, while offering natural language interaction for technicians.
