The Challenge
A large water utility company in the UK aims to capture real‑time mechanical strain data across its mains water network to better understand pipe loading patterns and overall asset health. By combining advanced sensors with AI‑driven analytics, the utility can move toward predicting pipe failures before they occur—significantly improving network resilience, reducing unplanned outages, and enabling smarter, data‑driven asset management. This approach strengthens long‑term infrastructure reliability through innovative hardware and intelligent software working together.
The Strategy
Bandgi Technologies partnered with Datatecnics (now foresighteai.co) to deliver an end-to-end pipe health monitoring solution.
Rugged, high-accuracy strain and temperature sensors were engineered and deployed around pipe circumferences to capture continuous mechanical and environmental data.
Advanced analytics and dashboards transformed raw time-series data into actionable insights, including a dynamic Pipe Health Index to support predictive maintenance and proactive decision-making.
The Solution
Bandgi Technologies delivered a robust Operations Technology (OT) platform enabling secure, reliable, two-way communication with field devices across multiple locations.
Key capabilities included:
-
Over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrades
-
Real-time time-series data collection at scale
-
GIS-enabled dashboards for operational visibility
-
MQTT-based command and control for field devices
This platform ensured seamless data flow from sensor to insight, supporting intelligent, resilient system operations.
