Our team core objective is to bring water utilities and network operators the most accurate and efficient data. This means that our robots are only a mean not an end. A mission starts with understanding precisely our customers need and ends with actionable results. Clean Water Pathfinder Pathfinder, Acwa’s first autonomous robot is able to travel at the heart of the water supply network, without disrupting water distribution to users. Autonomous, smart, capable of passing through elbows and past service lines, in or against the flow, it will follow its programmed mission path. Geared up with the sensors adapted to the pipe material, diameter and network operational model, Pathfinder will provide: Pipe location with centimetric accuracy A full condition assessment of your pipes (residual thickness, corrosion, micro-cracks, ovalization…) Any data you might require concerning water and hydraulics (pressure, quality, turbidity…) Your infrastructure safety our top concern Preserving Water Quality Our robotic solutions are conceived based on the French »autorité de Conformité Sanitaire » health requirement On missions in drinking water, robots will access the network via a sanitized airlock Optimizing Mission Success Smart robotics means software mission includes a risk management factor: faced with unexpected situations, our robots will abort mission and return to base Mission programs include a « safe recovery mode » enabling our robots to disengage from the pipe and be safely brought back to base
