S5E4 - How to Save Time, Money, and Water thanks to 92% Accurate Leak Detection - a podcast by Antoine Walter
from 2022-04-27T03:00
with 🎙️ Victoria Edwards - CEO & Co-Founder of FIDO Tech
💧 FIDO AI is a data-as-a-service (DaaS) end-to-end leak detection solution that identifies leaks, sizes them, and tells you where to dig to repair them
What we covered:
🎵 How water networks sing, and how you can leverage this for leak detection
💧 How non-revenue water is a threat in a world of rising water scarcity and why we shall fight it
🔥 How no other industry would actually allow losing 40% of its production without reacting
🤖 How artificial intelligence can turn leak detection around by drastically increasing accuracy and reducing false positives
🖥️ How monitoring a leak's evolution is almost as important as detecting it, and why you'd probably not want to repair all of them straight away
🧰 How despite its power, AI won't replace humans and hence never is a threat but rather another tool in the water toolbox
🌐 How FIDO ambitions to save the planet one megaliter at a time by taking a disruptive sensor agnostic and AI approach to
non-revenue water
🎹 How Victoria’s musical background is an asset in that endeavor, even if she no longer plays Rachmaninov
🆕 How you need your innovation first to help and solve a challenge, then be transformational, for it to make a dent in the utility world.
🤙 How being sensor agnostic and adopting an open approach is the best approach.
🪃 How it all started for FIDO and what step they already underwent
🤑 How FIDO removes adoption barriers with its CAPEX Free / Data as a Service
business model
🏭 Training on some of the World’s most complex networks, striving even with little knowledge of the network, fixing leaks as an alternative to increasing production capacity, building hardware, pivoting the original concept... and much more!
🔥 ... and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥
