PipeMinder tool reduces pipe leakage

摘要

In January 2016 Syrinix launched PipeMinder, the next generation of monitoring hardware that will transform the way utility companies calm their networks and reduce leakage and bursts, says the company's CEO James Dunning. Utilities often depend on teams inspecting pipelines to spot leaks and bursts and repairing those they find. Current approaches comprise reacting to symptoms rather than addressing underlying causes. PipeMinder combines a 5-year battery life, automated alerts for transients and bursts, and high-resolution data capture. PipeMinder was designed to enable utilities to see, at new levels of detail and accuracy, where they are at greatest risk of pipeline failure. Equipped with that detailed network view, the monitor allows utilities to address the underlying causes and so actively and substantially reduce leaks and bursts.
