Smart water managers require the best data

PipeFusion is a cloud software that connects, corrects and validates water network data to 99%+ accuracy in minutes, from any data set or network device. It's likely the highest quality water data operators have ever had.

Introducing PipeFusion

Better water data for more resilient infrastructure

PipeFusion is a cloud-based data and analytics software that delivers solutions to critical operational challenges faced by water utilities in both supply and wastewater management

Delivering the highest resolution water network data

Using advanced data analysis and machine learning, PipeFusion automatically corrects and validates network data to over 99%+ accuracy in real-time. This unparalleled data quality enables utilities to unlock maximum operational value from their data.

Single source of truth for water data analysis

Most of the value in water data is still siloed, making it difficult to get an accurate operational overview of network conditions. With PipeFusion, utilities gain a reliable source of analysis to connect, monitor and model all of their network asset data in one place.

Foundation for advanced modelling and data ops

Not only is it important to have high quality data, it needs to be accessible for everyday decision making. With PipeFusion, utilities can streamline their data operations, improving routine network analysis and reducing time spent on reporting and compliance.

Our Approach

Unlocking sustainable value in water network management

InfoTiles uses advanced data analytics and AI to empower water supply and wastewater managers to improve operational decision making and reduce maintenance costs, maximising the value and resilience of water infrastructure.

Our Solution

We help you leverage data to boost the efficiency of network maintenance operations

Reduce time and costs of digital transformation

Reduce upfront and long-term investment costs usually associated with digital water operations. PipeFusion delivers accurate, always up-to-date access to your network data in days not months.

Improve collaboration and remote data management

Enhance remote management and data-driven decision-making. With PipeFusion's best in class data and visualisation tools, water managers have easy access to the important data insights.

Reduce overhead in compliance and reporting

With an always-accurate view of network conditions and easy to use reporting capabilities, PipeFusion simplifies regulatory compliance while helping reduce risk of fines or environmental damage.

Product Features

Simplify complex water data workflows

PipeFusion provides water data professionals with the capabilities needed to transform routine infrastructure maintenance operations, utilising PipeFusion's best-in-class data foundation.

Universal data importer

Easily import your network data using common formats such as CSV, Shapefile and GeoJSON. Database exports are also accepted, and our team provides hands-on support to ensure successful setup and maintenance of the data connection.

Identify and correct errors

Errors in your water data are hiding in plain sight. PipeFusion is uniquely able to rapidly identify and correct data anomalies, including fixing missing connections, near misses, missing elevation data or incorrect flow direction.

Verify and update data

Utilizing PipeFusion's best-in-class data, operators can rapidly verify logical zones (DMA's, pump and overflow regions, pressure zones), aligning results with systems knowledge. Push updates with corrected data to patch faults at the source.

Deploy and monitor your network

Deploy new insights and leverage previously unavailable analytics capabilities that would otherwise fail on incorrect data (large data risk assessment). PipeFusion enables continuous monitoring of future data issues, preventing new data set or usage-based errors from future data updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

PipeFusion

What is PipeFusion and how does it improve water supply management?

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.

What data is needed for PipeFusion and how long does it take to see results?

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.

What do we receive with the results of PipeFusion?

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.

Does PipeFusion automatically update the source data in our database?

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.

What level of data quality is needed for PipeFusion to work?

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.

How does PipeFusion know what data to correct and verify?

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.

What is the price of PipeFusion? Is there additional cost for data storage and retention?

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.
