In a recent collaboration for a U.S. water utility, Xylem and Esri announced they were able to reduce costs and pipeline failures for a mid-sized mid-Atlantic water utility by deploying artificial intelligence analysis technology.
The AI-powered model — one of the first in North America to reliably predict future pipe failures — was able to reduce the utility’s costs by $70 million and brought down pipeline failures by 400% by predicting failures before they happened, according to a Xylem press release.
The breakthrough, according to the companies, came from deploying an AI-based solution from Xylem to analyze data from the utility’s system built on
