FAQS

OpenFlows WaterSight habilitates water utilities with a powerful tool to improve network operations and optimize operational costs while assuring or improving the service provided to customers. 

The water network digital twin is a digital representation or replica of the real physical assets. This digital replica can be used to simulate the real network behavior and should be dynamic, fed in real time from the different types of data sources, providing insights and enabling interactions to drive actionable and improved outcomes. 

Yes, it can. Timely notification of potential burst and leak events, along with the ability to promptly locate and address them, is a fundamental component in minimizing real water losses. OpenFlows WaterSight can monitor in near real-time each zone flow and pressure and automatically alert for any potential leak or burst in the system. Once an event is generated or manually created by the user, the platform can effectively narrow down the search area by pin-pointing in a map the most likely hotspots. 

Yes, it does. OpenFlows WaterSight relies on integration with real time data from sensors (SCADA systems, dataloggers, AMI meters, or with any other telemetry system). Automated connections can be established using RestAPI or through direct connections with the data sources (using ODBC/OPC). WaterSight also supports ArcGIS map service connection, including connection to ArcGIS online and ArcGIS Enterprise (on premise). It is also possible to connect with other map layers such as WMS and WMTS and upload any other GIS data using the standard shapefile format. 

Pump dashboards are available to help users identify inefficient pumps, pumps that are deteriorating faster than expected or pumps operating under strange/anomalous conditions. Pump operating points are automatically calculated and compared with the pump curves and best efficiency points. Pump efficiencies and energy costs are also displayed. 

OpenFlows WaterSight can bring all the information coming from the different systems together and provide one single view of truth, reducing the time spend on data collection, analysis and integration. OpenFlows WaterSight is not limited to real-time monitoring of the system or traditional modelling but instead it integrates real-time hydraulic models, energy assessments, customer meter analytics, water balance calculations, emergency scenarios simulation (pipe breaks, pump shutdowns, fire, valve operations), event management and leakage geolocation capabilities. It is easy and simple to use, and the intuitive interface makes the application accessible to any water utility worker, from operators, engineers and non-engineers, modelers and non-modelers, and asset managers.
