Data-driven understanding of leaks, water loss and operation in modern water supplies.
HydrantAI is an analytics platform developed for water utilities, where data from sensors, data loggers and operations are combined into a single overview. The platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze patterns in the pipeline network and identify deviations that may indicate leaks or changes in operation.
The purpose is simple: earlier detection of problems, better decisions and less water loss.
HydrantAI learns how your water network normally behaves – and quickly detects when something changes.
Most systems display data.
HydrantAI understands what data means.
HydrantAI. A tool for targeted action.
From data to action
Water utilities today collect large amounts of data from:
- leak noise loggers
- pressure sensors
- flow measurements
- zone monitoring
- SCADA systems
- leak detection in the field
But data in itself does not create an overview.
HydrantAI analyzes data across systems and identifies patterns that help understand how the network works – and when something changes.
This makes it possible to:
- detect incipient leaks earlier
- identify irregularities in operation
- analyze the development of water loss
- prioritize efforts in the power grid
How HydrantAI works
HydrantAI is designed to make complex data understandable and usable in daily operations.

LESS WATER LOSS
Sensors and data loggers provide measurements from the power grid.
HydrantAI analyzes patterns and anomalies in data and translates them into insights that can be used in planning and operations.
The result is a more targeted effort against leaks and water loss.
AI that learns your wiring
Each water network has its own structure, history and operating profile. That's why HydrantAI works with machine learning, where the system analyzes historical data and learns how the network normally behaves.
When new measurements deviate from the expected pattern, it is recorded as a potential event.
The system can analyze data from, among other things:
- pressure
- flow
- acoustic signals
- temperature
- sensors in the wiring harness
This allows changes in the system to be detected earlier than with manual analysis.
Leak fingerprinting and pattern recognition
HydrantAI uses advanced signal analysis to identify characteristic patterns in leaks.
Using machine learning, the system can build a kind of “fingerprint” for different types of leaks and operating patterns.
This makes it possible to:
- distinguish between normal operation and leaks
- reduce false alarms
- understand events in the network
- prioritize efforts more precisely.
Interaction with data loggers and sensors
HydrantAI works together with modern logger and sensor systems in water supplies.
Data from leak noise loggers, pressure sensors and flow measurements are analyzed together so that patterns can be identified across the entire network.
This makes it possible to:
- detect leaks earlier
- reduce search areas
- plan leak detection more effectively
- follow the development of a network over time.

An overview of the entire system
HydrantAI is developed to work with the entirety of a water supply system.
The platform can combine data from:
- data loggers
- sensors
- SCADA
- operating systems
- historical data
- GIS information
This provides an overall picture of how the power grid functions – and where efforts should be prioritized.
Data only works if the installations do
HydrantAI builds on the same experience as the rest of DWI's work:
In water supply, data only works if the installations do. The entire chain – from valve to cover to advanced data processing – must work.
Therefore, we combine analysis with understanding of the physical network and work in the field.
HydrantAI in the work with water loss
HydrantAI supports modern strategies for:
- reduction of water loss (NRW)
- leak monitoring
- data-driven operation of water supplies
- maintenance planning
When analysis is combined with sensors and practical experience, a much better decision-making basis for both operations and investments is created.
