When to use FIDO continual leak monitoring
FIDO AIoT acoustic leak monitoring is the first building block of a proactive smart leak reduction program for utilities and municipalities.
Combining highly sensitive acoustic sensors with reliable IoT connectivity and market-leading AI analysis, the FIDO system accurately automates leak detection without the need for area sweeps.
FIDO AI is effective on any pipeline material, even plastic and provides a comprehensive picture of where all the leaks are happening across any water network right now.
The robust hardware components are exceptionally quick and easy to deploy and never need charging or calibrating.
How to automate leak detection with AIoT monitoring
Continual water leak monitoring uses FIDO acoustic sensors at strategic locations across the water network to listen for leaks.
Small NB-IoT or LTE-M Relay devices transmit this data to FIDO AI daily which instantly analyzes it to determine if the sound is coming from a leak.
The AI eliminates non-leak sounds, assesses the leak’s likely size and clusters multiple data from the same leak into a single point of interest location from which to commence further investigations.
Upload your network GIS data to the FIDO Hub to generate optimal sensor deployment locations (ODLs) based on your network characteristics and objectives.
Use the smartphone app to rapidly deploy your FIDO sensors and IoT Relay devices at ODLs with the help of simple, guided workflows suitable for any skill level.
Receive FIDO AI results as soon as the first morning following sensor deployment. These surface as sized point of interest locations with trackable meta data.
Use FIDO insight on leak location and size to inform priority action. Over time, you can interrogate FIDO data to spot trends like leak degradation or recurrence.
FIDO AI’s results following the date of a leak repair will automatically confirm if the intervention was successful. This can help with revenue assurance.

Continual leak detection with Network Monitor
Network Monitor is our flexible, scalable AIoT monitoring product powered by FIDO AI. With Network Monitor, you sign up to the FIDO Hub online dashboard and purchase only the smartphone apps and hardware needed to cover the area you want to monitor. You can use Network Monitor as a permanent system, or as a mobile program.
Benefits of FIDO AIoT continual leak monitoring
Network Monitor Powered by FIDO AI is designed to make AIoT leak detection simpler, faster and more impactful.
Reduce risk
Reduce the risk and disruption of unknown leaks by getting to points of interest earlier and locating them before they cause supply interruptions or costly collateral damage. Continual AIoT leak monitoring identifies leaks as they arise so that you can prioritize investigation and repair resources.
Ease resource pressure
Free up time in your stretched operations and analytics teams without using artificial noise or data limits. FIDO’s AIoT water leak detection fully automates acoustic data analysis at scale, analyzing thousands of data points in seconds, eliminating extraneous noise and accurately identifying leaks in even the quietest samples.
Re-run and refine results any time
Cover more network with the same number of sensors by taking advantage of FIDO’s fully flexible easy-to-deploy system. Our AIoT water leak detection can be used semi-permanently as part of a cost-effective rolling program of 3-to-6-month monitoring to build up total network visibility over time.
Continue with Leak Locate for end-to-end integration
Investigate your points of interest with FIDO AI technology and get even more granular insight into leak activity and performance. Equip your operational teams with FIDO’s Leak Locate for real-time updates on in-field investigations. With Leak Locate, users deploy FIDO sensors as correlators and ground microphones.

Yes. FIDO AI was designed to work well on plastic networks and is very accurate. Thanks to their high quality digital microphone, FIDO acoustic sensors are sensitive enough to pick up tiny sounds, even on plastic pipes.
This depends on the size, material make-up and availability of assets on your specific network. Get in touch and we can help you with this calculation. Depending on your goals, it could be fewer than you think.
We have a range of delivery models for our services depending on your needs. These include data-as-a-service, where we do all the hardware deployment and provide your team with points of interest locations, and leaks-as-a-service, where we conduct leak investigations too and deliver fully marked up leak locations ready for repair.
