Water

Water utilities operate complex networks of assets - treatment plants, pumps, flow meters, sensors measuring flow, particulate levels, and river effluent. For regulated water companies - such as those in the UK - environmental compliance and public safety are paramount; unnoticed leaks, pollution spikes, or pump failures can result in severe regulatory fines and reputational damage.

Rapid anomaly detection is crucial. Using Anomify, water utilities can ingest high-frequency sensor data (using, for example, Telegraf or Prometheus integrations), continuously monitoring all points of their network in real-time. The anomaly detection system learns typical patterns for flow rates, contaminant levels, and equipment behaviors - quickly surfacing deviations that may indicate leaks, overflows, or sensor malfunctions.

Where standard monitoring tools will often generate overwhelming noise - or miss slow-changing events - Anomify’s hybrid learning approach, with optional supervised modes, ensures that unexpected behavior is correctly flagged while expected seasonal or operational fluctuations are not.

This gives water industry professionals the earliest possible warning of incidents (such as effluent spills), supporting both compliance and best practice asset management.
