In a recent webinar on strategies for reducing water losses, organized in collaboration with Smart Water Magazine, Diehl Metering presented its "10-Minute Analytics" approach to optimize water network management by using real-time key performance indicators (KPIs). Introduced by Maximilian Oberndoerfer, Product Manager for Analytics Software Solutions in Water and Heat at Diehl Metering, 10-Minute Analytics uses real-time key performance indicators (KPIs) to provides operator with rapid insights, enabling them to make quick, informed decisions that minimize water losses and enhance operational effectiveness. The approach focuses on detecting new and existing leaks, pinpointing zones with high water loss, and quantifying the volume of water lost.
“There is still significant room for improvement in water loss management,” said Oberndoerfer. “At Diehl Metering, we address this by focusing firstly on detection: rapidly identifying new leaks, then quantifying losses, and finally pinpointing high-loss areas and high-risk pipes — where utilities should prioritize their efforts.” He also stressed the value of efficiency in modern water management, noting Diehl’s goal is to enable utilities to achieve significant results with minimal time investment.
By precisely identifying leaks and high-risk areas, Diehl Metering’s solutions help prevent minor issues from evolving into critical situations, ultimately conserving both water and resources. Additionally, they enable operators to use data to locate leaks, reducing the frequency of physical inspections and on-site interventions.
