Why Utility Intelligence Fails at Scale
Water and utilities manage critical infrastructure, yet rely on aging SCADA, manual dispatch, and siloed work orders. Coordinating distribution, treatment, field crews, demand, and compliance across vast networks remains constrained by legacy systems and data isolation.
Fragmented Infrastructure Domains
Distribution, treatment, pumping, field maintenance, and billing operate in silos. A pressure drop triggers SCADA alarms, but field teams lack downstream context while customer ops sees only complaints. Leaks persist for hours, treatment lags spikes, crews chase symptoms.
Legacy SCADA Constraints
Monitoring platforms use periodic polling, threshold alerts, static models. Pump/valve/meter/GIS/CMMS integrations are brittle, vendor-locked. Real-time pressure optimization or leak localization lacks granular, high-velocity data.
Manual Incident Response
Pipe bursts, pump failures, contamination, droughts trigger manual workflows: scan alarms, reactive dispatch, guess impacts. No system models "Valve V47 closure impact on 20 districts for 4 hours?" or preemptively sheds load.
Sovereignty & Data Barriers
Regulated data—consumption, quality telemetry, infrastructure locations—demands on-premise processing. Edge decisions are essential, but centralized clouds violate latency and privacy rules.
How does AHOY technology integrate into this? With its sovereign infrastructure (utility DCs, remote stations), AHOY Tech integrates legacy SCADA/CMMS via adapters, delivers predictive intelligence without disruption.
How AHOY's Technologies Apply
AHOY-GTS
Distribution Network Orchestration
Solution:
GTS models pipes, pumps, valves, reservoirs, and districts as a dynamic geo-temporal hydraulic graph. Continuously recomputes pressure profiles, flow balancing, and valve settings from live SCADA/telemetry and demand forecasts. A burst or drought triggers network-wide adjustments—valve closures, pump rescheduling, treatment prioritization—all validated against pressure limits, quality constraints, and capacity.

AHOY-G-RAG
Compliance & Asset Reasoning
Solution:
G-RAG indexes regulations, maintenance records, asset specs, and GIS into a queryable graph over GTS. Agents ask: "Valve V42 maintenance impact on district D17 drinking water pressure?" or "Legal leak thresholds for industrial vs residential zones?" Answers ground field coordination in live network state.

AHOY-AVML
Site & Infrastructure Perception
Solution:
Edge AV/ML monitors pump stations, treatment plants, reservoirs for intrusions, equipment anomalies, visual leaks, or analog gauge readings—without sending raw video off-premise. Observations update GTS ("pump P19 vibration anomaly") and G-RAG context, fusing physical reality with hydraulic models.

OPTIMIZATION CORE
Pressure, Flow, and Energy Optimization
Solution:
Constraint-aware solver optimizes across the network—balancing pressure, minimizing NRW (non-revenue water), prioritizing critical customers. Uses live GTS state to evaluate tradeoffs: "Boosting pump P7 cuts district D4 pressure by 8%—acceptable under drought rules?"

FEDERATED LEARNING
Cross-Utility Intelligence
Solution:
Models learn from patterns across utilities (different cities, opcos) via federated learning—only weights exchange, raw telemetry stays local. A leak model benefits from drought patterns elsewhere without sharing sensitive consumption data.
