Don’t cry over spilled milk, cry over spilled water.
In the US alone, there are over 1,000 water main breaks per day, which have major negative economic and environmental implications. This episode of Preview of Tomorrow introduces Jim Fitchett, COO and Co-Founder of Voda.AI, a company that operates globally to detect water main failures up to ten years before they occur. Voda.AI’s state-of-the-art cloud software utilizes artificial intelligence to not only rank pipes by risk of failure, but also identify the consequences of failure ten times more accurately than alternative methods. Voda.AI allows cities to proactively address pipe maintenance, increasing cost efficiencies while decreasing the loss of valuable treated water.
