infinitii ai has won a competitive bid with the City of Vancouver. The latest sales achievement provides the City with access to infinitii flowworks real-time data monitoring software as part of a three-year contract. With a population of 631,000, Vancouver is one of Canada’s fast-growth cities and British Columbia’s largest municipality.

“This sale underscores our expanding North American install base, and we are especially pleased that this is the first time we have secured a multi-year contract directly with Vancouver’s Integrated Sewer and Drainage Planning (ISDP) branch,” stated Jean Charles Phaneuf, CEO of infinitii ai.

Currently, Vancouver’s ISDP branch has an archive of data from 200 flow and level monitoring locations, 38 combined sewer overflow (CSO) monitoring locations, 14 rainfall monitoring locations, 23 water quality sampling locations and 2 groundwater monitoring wells.

Critical requirements for a “Sewer and Drainage Monitoring Data Management & Analysis Tool” for the City of Vancouver included the following criteria:

  • The solution supports communication with all common brands of loggers, sensors, and other monitoring devices in the sewer, drainage, and water quality industry in North America. This includes equipment from ADS, Telog, and Hach

  • Required sewer, storm, and water quality data concepts should include but are not limited to time series, field measurements, and real time data derivation and statistical analyses that are relevant to municipal sewer and drainage utilities

  • The software will be supplied to the City with cloud storage included, and no physical server installation will be required

Future requirements included the following criteria:

  • Automated quality assurance and control validation procedures such as outlier detection

  • Allowance for the use of custom scripts in standard scripting language like Python

  • Machine learning capabilities for applications such as blockage prediction

Software products provided by infinitii ai meet all of these criteria and will be made available when required.
