P4G Project in Hai Duong, Vietnam

Title : Intelligent water leak management system pilot project

Period : Aug 2021 ~ Dec 2021 (5 Months)

Outcome

Capacity building : 7 engineers
Water leak detection : 14 points
Water leak reduction : 7 ㎥/hr

Introduction

The P4G project, a collaboration between VUCICO Vietnam, VWSA, HADUWACO, HUCE, and WI.Plat, was conducted from July 2021 to April 2022 in Hai Duong, Vietnam. This project aimed to implement the Intelligent Water Leakage Management Platform across 3 District Metered Areas (DMAs), each serving 2,000 to 3,000 households, to address water loss issues.

Objective and Implementation

The project’s goal was to build local expertise in water leakage management and reduce water leakage by 30% within the targeted areas. It involved deploying the NELOW system, which included setting up a cloud-based server for data storage and analysis, and providing smart devices like mobile acoustic IoT sensors and ultrasonic flow meters for data collection on water distribution.

No Barrier was existed even during Pandemic for this Global Project

During the pilot project in Hai Duong city’s DMAs, over 10 engineers in each city were trained to use the NELOW system for detecting water leaks. The integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) data into NELOW improved the precision in locating water infrastructure, leading to efficient leak detection and management. Initial assessments identified several leaks, which were promptly repaired, showcasing a notable improvement in water conservation and reducing non-revenue water percentages.

Significant Leaks were Detected and Recovered Successfully

The project achieved significant reductions in water loss, validating the effectiveness of the NELOW system in improving water supply management and efficiency. The initiative also illustrated the potential for scaling this technology to other areas, representing a substantial advancement in intelligent water management practices.

Conclusion

The successful implementation of the P4G project in Hai Duong illustrates a practical approach to tackling water loss with advanced technology. By adopting intelligent water management systems like NELOW, there is a clear path forward for enhancing water efficiency and sustainability in urban settings, contributing positively to the management of water resources.

4th Anniversary: Speech, Team Games, Cake, Teamwork, Growth

Event Name WI.Plat 4th Anniversary Celebration

Date March 4, 2024 (Monday)

Venue WI.Plat Headquarters and Local public field

March 3, 2020, marked the founding day of WI.Plat.

Every year, on the anniversary of its founding, WI.Plat expresses gratitude to its employees by hosting a celebratory event.

This year’s 4th-anniversary celebration event took place on Monday, March 4th. It began with a commemorative speech by CEO Sanghoon Cha, followed by safety management training for safe site activities and team-building indoor and outdoor games.

During the CEO’s anniversary speech, gratitude was expressed to all employees who have been part of WI.Plat’s journey from its inception to the present. A cake-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate WI.Plat’s four years of success and to look forward to a brighter future together. For this special occasion, WI.Plat illuminated the event with a cake featuring the popular strawberry si-ru cake from the local bakery, Sungimdang.

As the indoor and outdoor recreational activities commenced, the initially unfamiliar atmosphere quickly turned into one of spirited competition driven by passion. Team-based relay word games, shuttlecock kicking, flipping tiles, and a variety of other fun indoor games were enjoyed by all participants. Particularly, a game inspired by the TV show, where participants had to complete designated missions while blindfolded with a cockle hat, brought laughter and joy to everyone.

While WI.Plat has typically organized indoor activities to foster creativity during internal events, the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities brought about an energetic day for all. WI.Plat pledges to continue growing relentlessly to ensure that both existing employees and new additions will share in the future anniversary celebrations.

Thank you.

WI.Plat, honored with the CES 2023 Innovation Award for its Intelligent Water Loss Management System, NELOW Ver 2, once again collaborated with K-water to participate in the CES2024 exhibition alongside other companies in the Korean water industry.

CES 2024, organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is the world’s largest showcase of innovative digital technology.

At CES 2024, WI.Plat introduced its new water leak sensor, Sonic GL, released in June 2023. Sonic GL goes beyond the capabilities of the previous Sonic M1 sensor, enabling precise leak detection in water supply facilities and surfaces by using magnetic parts and a patented sensor.

One of the key advantages of WI.Plat’s water leak sensor equipment, Sonic GL, is its integration with the NELOW smartphone app, allowing even any users to conduct water leak detection activities by referencing manuals. Furthermore, the app collects leak sound data and utilizes the AI model on the NELOW software server to determine the leaks existence.

Since 2023, WI.Plat has been conducting market research for entry into the North American market. Participation in CES2024 provided an excellent opportunity to meet potential customers from local industry experts on WI.Plat’s NELOW solution, reaffirming the potential for entry into the North American market in 2024.

WI.Plat expresses gratitude to K-water for jointly operating the booth with leading companies in the water industry.

We will continue to strive forward until the day we solve the global water leakage issue!
