OpenFlows WaterSight
Water Infrastructure Digital Twin Application
Gain Visibility. Improve Collaboration. Make Better Decisions.
Start on the path to a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable water system. Unify disparate data sources and empower your team to work more efficiently and collaboratively.
What is OpenFlows WaterSight?
OpenFlows WaterSight brings SCADA, GIS, hydraulic modeling, client information, and historical failure data into a connected data environment to deliver cost-effective, real-time operations strategies. A scalable environment provides your entire utility access to critical system and individual asset performance along with risk information, which enhances operations, maintenance, and capital planning decisions. The application alerts you to nonperforming assets or anomalous network conditions, and provides efficient analysis of present, historic, and forecasted performance for all assets to better support the evaluation of the expected benefits and consequences of operational and maintenance actions. Additionally, OpenFlows WaterSight allows you to perform multiple “what-if,” risk, and planning scenarios with the goal of improving service levels and performance while minimizing risk.

User Quote
“Bentley's OpenFlows digital twin solution allows us to improve our system. With digital twins, we can analyze the behavior of our systems with real data and determine the best way to operate them. We can check the level of the tanks and determine if we have any leaks in our network before they become a problem.”
