The InfoTiles software will be developed and implemented in collaboration with Fully, a municipality in the canton of Valais, and BlueArk Challenge, with the aim of rapidly developing scalable applications.
WD News: Digital technology company InfoTiles has won the opportunity to demonstrate its water management platform with a municipality in Western Switzerland.
The BlueArk Challenge is a call for projects that aim to solve water management challenges using open innovation ideas and technologies.
InfoTiles will provide water managers in Fully with continual monitoring of the wastewater network via sensors located in key locations to help identify and remediate stormwater inflow and groundwater infiltration (I&I) into sewerage infrastructure.
Oliver Studer, Head of Industrial Services for Fully said, “The municipality are looking forward to developing the project with InfoTiles and working on concrete solutions to its water management problems.”
As well as being awarded €10,000 for technology development, BlueArk Challenge will provide InfoTiles with solution monitoring, infrastructure test sites, validation reporting and ongoing support. If successful, the InfoTiles platform will also be marketed in Switzerland through the collaboration.
Anyssia Bovier, Coordinator of the BlueArk Challenge said, “The proposals received make it possible to help resolve four of the challenges submitted. It is remarkable, and we are very happy with the quality of the proposals.”
InfoTiles’ digital software platform uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, to consolidate and analyse data. It also uses data from existing SCADA control systems and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to integrate real-time hydrological, meteorological, and asset data. This enables proactive and intelligent management of water inflow and infiltration into the sewers.
