Mobile application «Cloud City»
- implementation of the fastest way to collect
information in the field in order to conduct a
quality inventory.

Geographic Information System - a solid
foundation for the development of related
modules.

Interaction GIS with Hydraulic modeling
The module hydraulic modeling uses information about the elevations of the
terrain and data on the parameters and characteristics of objects.

Interaction with the asset management
system (AMS)
The main parameters that
affect the AMS are filled in
by the team during the
inventory in the GIS module.

Interaction with the control module
Interaction with problem areas
individual pipelines of the GIS network are
provided in combination with the control
module

Interaction with SCADA
Parameterization of
pump models in the
geographic information
system is successfully
synchronized with the
SCADA software
package.

Benefits of GIS in «Сloud City»

- Planned accidents and accidents where elimination
works are performed;
- Disconnection of consumers at the moment;
- Contractors;
- The nature of the damage;
- Statistics by city districts for time and period;
- Statistics by performers.
Planned works:
- Locations of works;
- The composition of the team performing the work;
- List of works performed (performed, planned) at the
address;
- List of equipment involved in the work;
- Location of equipment;
- Use of resources (labor, material, etc.);
- Terms of performance of works;

COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF
PUMPING STATIONS
The analytics module allows you to:
Detect network anomalies: gusts, leaks.
 Analyze the efficiency of pumping equipment.
 Dynamically determine the areas of influence of pumping stations in a complex distributed water supply network.
 Carry out the selection of pumping equipment taking into account the current operating modes of the pumping
station..

PUMP STATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR ANALYSIS
For the operation of the analytics module it is necessary to have reliable data with a time stamp:
 Inlet and outlet pressure;
 Power consumption;
 Frequency;
 Consumption (optional, estimated).

The purpose of assessing the efficiency of the pumping station is to establish the actual level of its energy
consumption, to determine the possibility of improving its energy efficiency.
In addition, it is necessary to be able to compare the results obtained by stations with each other and identify
patterns.

Breakthrough – is the destruction of the element of the pipeline under the action of a sharp increase in
pressure in the network.
To determine the breakthrough, the Analytics module uses machine learning algorithms. The neural
network studied on the data for the period predicts costs in the network for 3 hours ahead.
DETECTION OF BREAKTHROUGHS

DETECTION OF LEAKS
Leakage - is leakage of fluid from the pipeline due to the formation of mechanical damage or lack of
tightness of the joints.
Leakage can be detected by analyzing the dynamics of the deviation of night costs relative to the specified
basic night costs.
