Central Highlands Water deploys TaKaDu CEM solution

Australian utility Central Highlands Water (CHW) has deployed TaKaDu’s Central Event Management (CEM) solution for increased network efficiency, reduced water loss in addition to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Central Highlands Water, which implemented smart components into its water networks over the last two years, decided to leverage all its data to improve efficiency across its complete operations.

Central Highlands Water managing director Paul O’Donohue said: “The deployment of this innovative solution at Central Highlands Water is building on new and improved services to our customers.

“Developing more digital connectivity around real-time water use and optimised network performance is in direct response to customers’ preferences following extensive customer and community engagement.”

By leveraging TaKaDu’s cloud-based service, which is based on big data analytics and machine learning, utilities will be able to detect, analyse and manage network events and incidents such as leaks, bursts, faulty assets, telemetry and data issues, operational failures, among others.

Integrated with other enterprise IT systems as well as detection technologies, TaKaDu will deliver a central hub for quick response times.

TaKaDu founder and CEO Amir Peleg said: “CHW is highly progressive, already embracing the world of digital with district metered areas (DMAs) and smart loggers.

“We’re proud that they have decided to take digitisation to the next level using TaKaDu’s CEM and integration capabilities to provide efficient and quality water services. This latest partnership represents another important milestone in our growing market presence in Australia.”

Central Highlands Water is a regional water corporation and provides drinking water, sewerage, trade waste and recycled water services to customers throughout Victoria’s Central Highlands Region.
