WI.Plat Selected for WIN-WIN HONORS through AI-Based Leak Management Demonstration with Korea Midland Power

WI.Plat Selected for WIN-WIN HONORS through AI-Based Leak Management Demonstration with Korea Midland Power

WI.Plat’s AI-based leak management system demonstration, carried out in cooperation with Korea Midland Power, has been selected for the 2026 WIN-WIN HONORS project by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

The project focused on addressing micro-leak issues in power plant piping systems, using the Sejong Power Division as a demonstration site. In power plants, constant operational noise and complex piping structures make it difficult to identify leak sounds through conventional methods. WI.Plat applied its AI-based leak sound analysis technology to this challenging environment, using actual field data such as piping information and operational noise data.

Through this demonstration, WI.Plat verified how AI can help distinguish leak sounds from background noise in industrial facilities. The project also showed that WI.Plat’s technology, originally developed and applied in the water distribution sector, can be expanded to power plants, industrial facilities, and other infrastructure where early leak detection is directly linked to operational efficiency and asset safety.

This collaboration also builds on the achievements recognized at the 2025 Public-Private Open Innovation Performance Sharing Event, where the AI-based leak management project received the Minister of SMEs and Startups Award. The 2026 WIN-WIN HONORS selection further highlights the project as a meaningful cooperation model between a public enterprise and a technology startup.

Korea Midland Power provided the field environment and operational data needed for technical verification, while WI.Plat contributed its AI leak detection expertise and field-oriented solution development capabilities. Together, the two organizations created a practical case of public-private cooperation aimed at solving real operational challenges in industrial infrastructure.

With this selection, WI.Plat will continue to advance its AI-based smart leak management solutions and expand their application beyond water networks to power plants, plants, industrial piping systems, and public infrastructure.

WI.Plat Participates in ACE26 and Discusses Smart Leak Management Opportunities in North America

WI.Plat participated in ACE26(AWWA Conference & Exhibition 2026), held from June 21 to 25 in Washington, D.C., USA.

ACE is one of the major water industry events in North America, bringing together water utilities, engineering firms, public institutions, and technology companies to share technologies, operational experience, and policy trends in the water sector. WI.Plat joined the Korean Pavilion at this year’s exhibition and introduced its AI-based intelligent leak monitoring and detection technology.

During the exhibition, WI.Plat met with water utilities, engineering and consulting firms, and other water industry stakeholders from the United States and other regions. Visitors asked about WI.Plat’s leak monitoring approach, field application cases, and potential pilot project opportunities.

In the North American market, aging water infrastructure, operational efficiency, and workforce limitations are key issues for many utilities. Against this background, WI.Plat was able to confirm practical interest in its IoT sensor and AI analytics-based leak management approach. Several utilities and water industry companies also discussed possible follow-up opportunities for field application, business expansion, and local partnerships.

Through ACE26, WI.Plat expanded its contact points with the North American water market and confirmed potential opportunities for practical collaboration with local utilities and water industry partners. WI.Plat will continue to follow up with the organizations and companies connected during the event and explore opportunities to apply smart leak management and NRW reduction solutions suitable for the North American market.

WI.Plat Participates in SIWW 2026 and Engages with Global Water Industry Stakeholders

WI.Plat Participates in SIWW 2026 and Engages with Global Water Industry Stakeholders

WI.Plat participated in SIWW 2026(Singapore International Water Week 2026), held from June 16 to 18 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore.

SIWW is an international water industry event that brings together water utilities, public institutions, engineering firms, technology companies, and water management professionals from around the world. At this year’s exhibition, WI.Plat introduced its AI-based intelligent leak detection system NELOW, along with its mobile acoustic leak sensor Sonic GL and fixed-type leak monitoring sensor Sonic M2.

WI.Plat’s AI development team also joined the exhibition to provide more detailed technical explanations on how leak sound and pressure data are collected, analyzed, and used to support leak suspicion analysis through AI models. Visitors showed particular interest in how data collected from GL and M2 can be analyzed on the NELOW platform and applied to actual field operations.

During the exhibition, WI.Plat met with water utilities, water management companies, engineering firms, and system integrators from Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Australia, and other countries. A total of 51 consultations were held, covering topics such as leak detection equipment, NELOW platform integration, AI-based data analysis, smart meter linkage, and integration with existing water network management systems.

Many discussions focused on data-driven management of underground pipeline leaks, leak sound analysis under different pipe materials and field conditions, and AI/LLM-based reporting and data interpretation functions. Some visitors also requested additional materials to review the possible application of WI.Plat’s solutions in water projects, buildings, industrial facilities, and data centers.

Through SIWW 2026, WI.Plat confirmed strong market interest in AI-based smart water loss management solutions across Southeast Asia and other global regions. WI.Plat will continue follow-up discussions with the organizations and companies connected during the exhibition and seek further opportunities to provide leak management and NRW reduction solutions tailored to local conditions.
