Allows water utilities to make faster business decisions based on innovative pipeline data analysis techniques
Vancouver, BC, August 30, 2017--(T-Net)--Sierra Systems Group Inc., in collaboration with Pure Technologies Ltd. (Pure; TSX: PUR), has been named a winner for the Canadian Microsoft IMPACT Awards 2017 for the Data and Advanced Analytics Innovation Award.
The awards took place as part of Microsoft's recent Inspire Conference, formerly called Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC).
The annual event, now in its 14th year, celebrates outstanding achievement across Microsoft's community of partners, system integrators and service providers who are committed to the pursuit of quality and innovation.
The Data and Advanced Analytics Innovation Award is specifically focused on recognizing partners that have delivered innovative solutions using Big Data and Analytics capabilities.
Sierra Systems partnered with Pure to provide a new approach in analyzing pipeline data to help make strategic business decisions much faster.
The collaborative effort involved the development of a deep learning artificial intelligence system that was trained to recognize and classify water pipeline leak audio patterns.
With the new predictive analytic techniques, the process can now accurately identify leaks at a rate 150 times faster than previous methods, based on initial results.
The system is scalable to manage multiple pipeline inspections in parallel, resulting in massive gains in efficiency. It is now more effective to take unstructured data from the field and convert the information to drive predictive maintenance.
