Category: Water Network Monitoring.www.takadu.comCompany profileTaKaDu is the global leader in Water Network Monitoring, providing a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)solution <strong>for</strong> <strong>water</strong> utilities. TaKaDu’s solution detects, classifies, alerts and provides real-time insighton leaks, bursts, network breaches, faulty meters and other inefficiencies. The solution is based oncomplex algorithms which analyze online data from existing meters within the network (flow, pressure,etc) in conjunction with external data (weather, holidays, etc). TaKaDu’s patented technology is easyto deploy, requiring no network changes, no additional devices and no capital expenditure. The serviceis in commercial use by leading <strong>water</strong> utilities worldwide, served through a global network of partnersand resellers.The TaKaDu team is comprised of top-notch scientists with vast data analytics experience, alongsideseasoned executives from global software leaders. TaKaDu is a founding member of SWAN (SmartWater Networks <strong>for</strong>um). The company is the winner of many industry awards, including the prestigiousTechnology Pioneer 2011 award from the World Economic Forum.Year of establishment: January 2009No. of employees: 35Background of the companyBased in Israel, TaKaDu was founded by Amir Peleg, an experienced high-tech entrepreneur and a topnotchteam of Computer Science and Math Ph.Ds, as well as software market veterans. Prior to foundingTaKaDu, Amir’s previous company, YaData, was acquired by Microsoft in 2008.Solution General DescriptionTaKaDu’s solution takes SCADA readings (flow, pressure, quality and other measurements) and GISdata about the <strong>water</strong> network, cleans them of “noise” and constructs a model of how the <strong>water</strong> networkbehaves, adjusting <strong>for</strong> the day of the week, hour, seasonality and operations and maintenance activity. Itthen monitors the network to detect anomalies based on the model and alerts when they happen. Thislets <strong>water</strong> utilities “see” the network and detect leaks and other anomalies be<strong>for</strong>e they become muchlarger operational issues.The solution requires no network changes and uses existing historical and real-time online dataLeaks are detected be<strong>for</strong>e they become bursts, since the solution is sensitive to relatively small changesAlerts are also provided when sensors, meters and operations malfunctionThe solution can monitor “blind spots” where sector or DMA <strong>water</strong> balance methods cannot work• The solution is provided as a Software-as-a-Service: no installation or IT support is required. After thedata is securely passed to TaKaDu, TaKaDu presents <strong>water</strong> utility staff with web-based reports showing<strong>water</strong> network behaviour and alerts upon anomalies or leaks.TaKaDu’s monitoring service is used by utilities worldwide, in Asia, Australia, Europe and LatinAmerica, providing real alerts about leaks, bursts and other issues, such as faulty meters and networkconfiguration problems.Solution Benefits and ValueTaKaDu’s unique approach helps monitor the network’s “blind spots” more effectively, control <strong>water</strong> loss,find more leak events and identify many small leaks be<strong>for</strong>e they become large. TaKaDu’s ability to findfaulty meters is in and of itself a major benefit. Most importantly, TaKaDu’s system doesn’t require anyphysical network or equipment investment on the utility side. Benefits include the ability to:Reduce and mitigate the need to replace network infrastructureSave <strong>water</strong> lost to network issues through leaks and burstsSave energy and other inputs wasted by producing <strong>water</strong> that is then lost to network inefficienciesPrevent “Network Events”, e.g. energy wasted without <strong>water</strong> loss in pressure zone boundary breaches• Reduce dependence on new <strong>water</strong> sources, as current sources will be more effectively utilized.Even with well-established active leakage control practices, TaKaDu is proven to detect many networkevents, <strong>water</strong> loss events and other issues, often without prior notification by existing monitoring methods.Objectives / Target <strong>companies</strong>Water utilities that are interested in evaluating TaKaDu’s solution.Back to Index19
