Physics-Based Intelligence for Water Infrastructure

Edge analytics at every pump station. Cloud intelligence across your entire collection system. Operations Intelligence that turns predictions into autonomous action.

Industry Challenges

clock

Aging Infrastructure

Pipes and pumps that are decades old, running well past their design life with no visibility into actual condition.

shield-alert

Compliance Pressure

EPA and NPDES reporting requirements demand accurate data collection and audit-ready documentation at all times.

map-pin

Distributed Assets

Pump stations spread miles apart across your service area, making routine inspections costly and reactive maintenance inevitable.

Energy Costs

Pumps account for up to 90% of a utility's energy budget. Even small efficiency losses compound into massive operational costs.

Edge + Cloud Value

Each layer does what it does best. Together, they deliver complete intelligence.

Pump Curve Analysis

EDGE: Real-time BEP tracking, efficiency calculation from pressure and flow sensors at each station
CLOUD: Enterprise-wide pump curve degradation trending, replacement forecasting across all stations

Anomaly Detection

EDGE: Vibration envelope monitoring, bearing fault detection, cavitation alerts with sub-second response
CLOUD: Cross-station pattern analysis, seasonal baseline adjustment, cross-site anomaly correlation

Alarming

EDGE: Local alarm annunciation, relay outputs, operator notifications even when offline
CLOUD: Escalation workflows, on-call rotation management, alarm rationalization analytics

Work Orders

EDGE: Auto-generated maintenance requests from detected faults with diagnostic context attached
CLOUD: Operations Intelligence — parts inventory management, technician scheduling, cost tracking

Compliance

EDGE: Continuous discharge and overflow monitoring, automated data logging for regulatory parameters
CLOUD: NPDES report generation, SSO/CSO event tracking, audit trail with digital signatures

GIS

EDGE: GPS-tagged asset registration, offline map caching for field technicians
CLOUD: Collection system mapping, service area analytics, spatial query for impact assessment

Physics Models

Pump curve analysis

Maps head vs. flow to detect operating-point drift from design curve

m
H = f(Q)

Hydraulic efficiency

Ratio of hydraulic power delivered to shaft power consumed

%
η = (ρ × g × Q × H) / P_shaft

BEP deviation

Percentage deviation of current flow from best-efficiency point

%
BEP% = (Q_actual / Q_rated) × 100

NPSH margin

Available net positive suction head minus required; guards against cavitation

m
NPSH_margin = NPSHa - NPSHr

Specific energy

Energy consumed per unit volume pumped; key efficiency KPI

kWh/m³
SE = P / Q

ML Models

Bearing degradation

0.85%

Progressive bearing wear via vibration signature changes

Seal leak detection

0.78%

Mechanical seal failure from temperature and pressure anomalies

Cavitation onset

0.82%

Early cavitation from suction pressure and vibration patterns

Impeller wear

0.8%

Impeller erosion inferred from pump curve degradation
