Built water utility management platform with real-time data and analytics for a government agency

About the client

The client is a government agency responsible for the management and supply of water resources to a large metropolitan area in Asia.

With an extensive network of water treatment plants, pumping stations, and reservoirs, the agency caters to the water needs of millions of residents and industries in the region.

Overview

Codvo.ai was engaged by the client to develop an end-to-end city-wide water management system that would leverage Industrial 4.0 technologies to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall management of water resources. The platform needed to integrate multiple data sources, provide real-time insights, and enable informed decision-making across the entire water management value chain.

Business Challenge

The client faced several challenges in managing water resources across a geographically dispersed and complex network of facilities. The existing system lacked the capability to provide real-time insights into water supply and wastewater treatment processes, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and increased costs. The lack of a centralized system made it difficult to manage incidents and respond to emergencies quickly.

Our Approach and Solution

The Codvo.ai team worked closely with the client to understand their requirements and design a comprehensive solution that addressed their challenges. The team deployed an integrated water management operations center that presented data from multiple sources in a single-pane-of-glass software environment. The platform provided a 360-degree view of the water management process, from city zones to plant and equipment levels.

The platform included a range of features, including slide-view dashboards, incident management, and alarm thresholds, live location feeds, and remote-control panels for field equipment. The dashboards provided real-time insights into water consumption, recycled water, energy, and chemical treatment costs, and other key performance indicators.
