Hexagon's GeoAI solution for wastewater management in Cologne, Germany, leverages AI to automatically detect changes in urban infrastructure, including the condition of wastewater systems. By using geospatial data and machine learning, the system enhances the monitoring and management of wastewater networks, identifying issues like blockages and leaks in real-time. The solution enables more efficient maintenance and quicker responses, particularly in monitoring private lands, helping the city optimize its wastewater management processes.

Monitoring and Control

AI tools in this category are used for enhancing transparency, access to information, compliance monitoring, and ensuring regulatory adherence. These applications help in real-time monitoring of various public sector activities and services.

Resource Planning

These tools assist in the efficient allocation and management of resources, such as workforce, budgets, and infrastructure. They help optimize the use of public resources and improve operational efficiency.

#automate Automate the detection and reporting of wastewater system changes, leveraging machine learning to reduce manual intervention, speed up response times, and enhance overall system efficiency.

#detect Use AI to identify anomalies and potential issues in wastewater infrastructure, such as leaks or blockages, by analyzing sensor data and real-time monitoring systems, ensuring efficient maintenance.

#monitor Continuously track the status of wastewater networks, collecting and analyzing data on flow rates, pressure levels, and infrastructure conditions to provide early warnings for potential disruptions or failures.
