Live demo PipeFusion

PipeFusion utilises advanced machine learning to accurately identify and correct errors in geometry, connectivity, and flow direction of a water supply network. By ensuring the data is precise and trustworthy, PipeFusion enables better decision-making in network management, leading to improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced service delivery.

PipeFusion utilises data that the majority of utility networks already have available for analysis. Typically, it will take 1-3 hours of work from your IT department or provider. The wait time (and time to value) often depends on the wait time for data approval and adaptation to a new data model or source systems. In practice, this can be done in 1-2 days. From there, the algorithm runs in minutes and will maintain the corrected data set without any additional customer input.

Once data is integrated or uploaded and corrected with PipeFusion, utilities can extract a file with all the network errors and changes to be made, as well as a prioritised list so that the highest value data tasks can be addressed first.

Currently, real-time data is only available in PipeFusion with a database integration and two way updates using tools like Azure Data Factory. Otherwise, we provide the results as flat files with all the errors and corrections, as well as a prioritised list to correct the data in your existing database. These can be imported to any GIS system. If you have a source system with particular rules and format for import, our team is available to help standardise the data to your needs.

PipeFusion works on both historical and current data, and even relatively poor quality data is enough to deliver results. PipeFusion is able to achieve results even with poor data because our data models are constantly improved through anonymised learning from all of our customers.

PipeFusion uses multiple advanced logical tests and statistical analyses, meaning it is able to add the missing information with higher accuracy than is possible using any other method or human intervention. All network data is verified.

InfoTiles products are priced using metered billing, meaning that customers only pay for what they use. Both PipeFusion and our Intelligence product modules are priced on per-kilometre basis, so the final pricing depends on the size of the network regardless of the volume of data. For exceptionally large water networks, or in instances where the size of the network does not correspond to the serviceable value, our team is happy to discuss fixed-rate alternatives.

InfoTiles provides pre-agreed upon limits for data storage and retention suitable to the use cases and functionality provided, the details of which can be discussed with our sales team. Typically, this is 5 years of 5-minute resolution data, with older data archived at 20-minute resolution for a further 5 years. Additional storage and retention is available upon request.
