SubsidieMeestersAutonomous robotics and digital TWIN to improve water network performances
The project develops a robotic inspection system for water utilities, enabling autonomous pipeline assessments to enhance water quality and sustainability through a subscription-based RaaS model.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Our project aims to revolutionize the water industry through the development and commercialization of an innovative robotic inspection system.
System Functionality
Our robotic inspection system offers a comprehensive set of functionalities that enable water utilities to gain deep insights into the condition of their water pipelines.
- With the ability to autonomously navigate inside the pipeline, our system conducts detailed assessments of:
- Structural integrity
- Leak identification
- Quality analysis of drinking water
By developing the Digital Twin of the water networks, our technology empowers water utilities to make informed decisions and take proactive measures to ensure the reliability, efficiency, and safety of their water networks.
Business Model
At the core of our business model is Robotics as a Service (RaaS), which offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for water utilities.
- Instead of incurring substantial upfront costs, water utilities can access our cutting-edge technology on a subscription basis.
- This model eliminates the financial barriers to entry and allows utilities to benefit from the latest advancements in robotic inspection without compromising their budgetary constraints.
Sustainability Focus
With a strong focus on sustainability, our robotic inspection system aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
- SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)
- SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
Impact
During 2025-2029, our robotic inspection system will preserve 143 million cubic metres of drinking water; these savings correspond to the annual consumption of 2.6 million EU citizens. This greatly aligns with global efforts for sustainable water management and environmental preservation.
