System Description for InfoTiles

‍

InfoTilesis an advanced, cloud-based software solution designed to help utilities gainfull insight into their water and wastewater networks through advanced data analysis. The system integrates data from various sources, including SCADAsystems, IoT devices, smart water meters, and GIS data, allowing for real-time analysis and visualisation of these data. The solution helps utilities reduce costs, optimise resource use, and improve decision-making processes in managing their infrastructure.

‍

Data integration and collection

InfoTiles supports the integration of data from multiple sources via API connections and IoT devices. The system can automatically collect data from sensors and meters, which are then linked to the relevant measuring zones, areas, or sub-zones. This enables accurate calculations of mass balance, consumption patterns, and leak detection. Through automated processes, data is continuously updated and validated.

Real-time data and visualisation

Real-time analysis is a key feature of InfoTiles, allowing for network monitoring and identification of potential problem areas in real-time. The system presents this data through interactive dashboards, which can be customised to individual needs. Visualisations can show data for an entire city, an area, or a specific measuring zone. It is also possible to display historical data and compare it with current measurements to analyze trends and patterns over time.

Error correction and data validation

To ensure precision in analyses, the system includes built-in data validation that detects and corrects any errors in the collected data. This provides utilities with reliable and accurate information for use in decision-making processes. Users can also set up automated alarms that notify irregularities such as sudden increases in consumption or signs of leaks.

User-friendliness and access

The system is cloud-based and accessible from all modern web browsers, offering flexible access from PCs, tablets, and mobile devices. The user interface is designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, making it easy for users to navigate and customize views. Users can easily change measurement zones, add new meters, and perform analyses without technical expertise.

Scalability and flexibility

InfoTiles is designed to grow with the customer’s needs. The solution can handle both small and large networks and makes it easy to expand the system as more measuring zones and meters are added. Users can also create temporary measuring zones for detailed analysis of specific areas or periods.

Advanced analytics and decision support

The system enables utilities to perform advanced scenario analyses that can be used to model future challenges and needs. By combining real-time data with historical trends, users can simulate different scenarios and prepare for potential risks. This contributes to better planning and prioritization of resources and maintenance tasks.

InfoTiles allows users to generate comprehensive reports based on the collected data. These reports can be exported to spreadsheets (e.g., Excel) or other formats, enabling further analysis or integration into other systems. The system also supports the visualisation of reports directly in dashboards, where users can choose from various display formats such as graphs, tables, or maps.

The reporting functionality is flexible, allowing users to generate reports showing data for specific periods or measurement zones and compare them overtime. Additionally, the system can generate automatic reports that are regularly delivered to relevant stakeholders, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest data. This is particularly useful for monitoring trends such as water consumption, pressure variations, or leakage occurrence.

‍

The user interface of InfoTiles is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. The cloud-based solution allows the system to be accessed from any device with internet access. This includes PCs, tablets, and smartphones, offering great flexibility for users. Regardless of the device used, the user interface adjusts automatically to ensure optimal display and functionality. The system offers a variety of visualisation options, including dashboards, where users can create their own views based on the data that is relevant to them. These dashboards can be customised to display everything from detailed maps with meter locations to graphs that compare data from different time periods or measuring zones. Alarms that signal potential problems can also be viewed and managed directly in the user interface, giving users full control over system monitoring.
