Open1 leak management platform supports proactive NRW reduction. 3 key steps:

Modular platform fits water companies of any size

1. CONNECT

Connect your sensor data and create valuable insights

2. DETECT

Detect visible and hidden leaks. Prioritise upon economic impact

Localise

3. LOCALISE

Narrow your leak search zones and give your field teams a head start!

1 NRWCOCKPIT also interoperates perfectly with data and algorithms from other providers. APIs ensure seamless integration.

Connect
Step 1: CONNECT

Connect and combine your available sensor data result in valuable insights

Features of NRWCOCKPIT:

All your sensor data … in one platform
Designed for various kind of sensor data: flow meter data, pressure data …
Enables data quality checks
Creation of valuable insights by combining sensor data
Calculation of water balances per DMA
Geographical mapping of your sensors
Customized data management: Personalised dashboards you can share with colleagues
Time-synced graphs for faster and easier analyses
Threshold monitoring with minimum night flow
Integration of aggregated data from household smart water meters
Detect
Step 2: Detect

NRWCOCKPIT & LeakRedux® software help reduce water losses to below 10%

NRWCOCKPIT also perfectly interoperates with Minimum Night Flow (enabling part of the functionalities of LeakRedux®). Discover the main features of each combination:

Main features of NRWCOCKPIT with LeakRedux® leak detection algorithm:

Detection of visible and invisible leaks (usually accounting for most of your water losses)
Early detection of small hidden leaks
Detection of new and historical leaks
Real-time detection for faster intervention when bursts appear
Quantification of cumulative volume losses of leaks
Economical prioritisation: which leak to repair first
Alerts and decision-making indicators
Map overview and prioritisation of leak alerts
Export functionalities for further processing of historic data

Main features of NRWCOCKPIT combined with Minimum Night Flow:

Real-time DMA consumption balance calculation with indication of missing sensors
Minimum night flow tracking and nightly leak flow calculations
Automatic calculation of minimum Night Flow following IWA guidelines
Settable night-time window per DMA
Alert levels per DMA based on settable target minimum night flow per DMA
Operational from day 1 of your DMA monitoring
NRWCOCKPIT & LeakRedux® software help reduce water losses to below 10% in leak management: Detection of new AND historical hidden leaks (usually accounting for most of your water losses), real-time detection of bursts, quantification of cumulative volume losses of leaks, economical prioritisation: which leak to repair first

Furthermore, NRWCOCKPIT also interoperates perfectly with algorithms from other providers, not just LeakRedux®. APIs ensure seamless integration.

More about LeakRedux®:

LeakRedux® - HydroScan’s superior leak detection algorithm - compares the actual water consumption of a DMA in real time with its specific Fingerprint. This DMA-specific Fingerprint pattern represents the expected daily variation in consumption, based on historical data and considering hourly, daily, seasonal and other patterns.

LeakRedux® key benefits:
Detection of new AND historical leaks
Detection of (small) hidden leaks (usually accounting for most of your water losses)
Real-time detection of bursts
Quantification of cumulative volume losses of leaks
Prediction of the most cost-effective time for repairing leaks
Economical prioritisation: which leak to repair first

Step 3: LOCALISE

NRWCOCKPIT platform supports and enables localisation … Achieve up to 80% efficiency gains in the field

From DMA-level detection to on-field localization, send your field teams directly to the right place. NRWCOCKPIT helps reduce field localisation and pinpointing time to a minimum.

Features of NRWCOCKPIT:

Simplified sub-sectioning: shorter data processing time, efficiency gains, intuitive visualisation…
Sub-sectioning is highly effective in many cases for narrowing leak search zones … up to 80%
AI-enriched intersections: At the DMA level, combine various data sources to narrow down leak search zones
  • Asset info (age, materials)
  • Historical leaks
  • Pressure sensor data
  • Acoustic measurements
  • AI localising algorithms
  • Satellite imagery/POIs
Immediate integration: Field localization results are seamlessly integrated via our React API

Start at your rhythm and needs

The platform features a modular architecture designed for custom-tailored implementation. Fits water companies of any size.

You can choose to install the open platform gradually.
  • Begin with step 1, connecting data, and start gaining valuable insights.
  • For step 2, you can initiate leak monitoring with DMA balances and minimal night flow tracking and potentially incorporate LeakRedux later for maximsed efficiency.
  • Step 3 can also be implemented at a later stage to further minimise your leak search costs.
You can also start with a limited area of a few DMAs and then roll out geographically.
Experience for yourself all added value and intuitive use of the NRWCOCKPIT platform and the LeakRedux® leak detection algorithm.

Even deploying in a limited geographical area enables you to identify your potential savings, your return on investment and your business case.
