AI case study

Pinpoint leaky pipes

by
FIDO Tech
Context

FIDO Tech developed an AI acoustic leak detection tool that processes sound data from mobile sensors attached to water pipelines. The system uses deep learning powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to analyze acoustic files and accurately pinpoint leak locations and assess leak severity without needing pipe-specific details. It optimizes maintenance workflows by providing precise leak ranking and advising optimal sensor placement, enabling utilities to prioritize repairs and reduce water wastage.

Results

Reduced non-revenue water from 27% to 10%; over 250 leaks detected in a year
