글로벌 물관리 기반 시설 및 모니터링 시스템 전문 업체인 타카두(TaKaDu)는 이스라엘의 수도시설 중 하나인 메이 카멜(Mei Carmel) 위탁운영을 3년간 연장하는 계약을 했다고 6월 5일 발표했다.

TaKaDu는 지난 1년간 Mei Carmel의 성공적인 위탁운영으로 무수량(NRW, non-revenue water)을 낮추고 상수도 운영 효율성을 높였다.

Mei Carmel은 TaKaDu를 일일 네트워크 관리 플랫폼을 이용하여 수도센서 및 수도미터와 같은 다양한 기술과 다양한 엔지니어링 결정을 포함한 수도 프로세스를 감독·관리를 한다.

TaKaDu 플랫폼은 누수, 파열, 수압 변동 및 결함 자산을 포함한 하이파(Haifa) 주변의 수도 네트워크 이벤트에 대한 더 깊은 통찰력을 제공한다.

Mei Carmel의 COO인 Stav Avraham은 "TaKaDu는 우리의 상수도 운영 및 효율성 수준을 대폭 향상시키고 수돗물 손실을 줄이는 데 도움이 되었다. TaKaDu는 철저한 수도관리로 우리의 수도 네트워크에 대한 가시성을 높이는 등 우리의 모든 기술 구현하고 있다. 또한 고객 콜센터 및 기타 부서와 연결되어 지속적인 조직간 조정 등을 통해 신속한 해결을 해주고 있다"고 말했다.

TaKaDu의 자동화된 클라우드 기반 수도서비스를 통해 유틸리티는 누수, 수도관 파열, 자산 오류, 원격 측정 및 데이터 문제, 운영 실패 등과 같은 네트워크 이벤트 및 인시던트(incidents)를 탐지, 분석 및 관리할 수 있다.

또한, 이 시스템은  실패 원인을 분석 등을 통해 실행 가능한 통찰력 및 상세한 보고서를 관리팀에 제공한다.

TaKaDu의 EVP 영업 및 운영담당인 Ziv Zaretsky는 "이스라엘에서 가장 발전된 상수도사업의 유틸리티 중 하나인 Mei Carmel은 TaKaDu를 최고 수준으로 통합했다. 입증된 물과 에너지 절감으로 가능한 빨리 모든 이벤트를 관리하고 해결할 수 있다”면서 "Mei Carmel은 사람(관리자), 상수도 분야 새로운 프로세스 및 고유 기술을 결합하여 물 효율성에 대한 전체론적 접근 방법의 이점에 대한 훌륭한 사례 연구를 제공하고 있다"고 강조했다.

TaKaDu는 오는 9월 12일부터 14일까지 열리는 ‘WATEC Israel 2017’에서 통합 이벤트 관리 솔루션을 선보일 예정이다.
