📝 Pilot Project Feature –  Monitoring Machinery Operations for Utilities in Malaysia Operators in utilities typically rely on manual inspections of plant machinery to listen out for equipment faults. With pressures to uphold reliable water service delivery, operators increasingly turn to automated solutions for more efficient plant maintenance. For the first time in Malaysia, Teredo Analytics is deploying its AI-enabled ambient acoustic sensor with a utility in Sarawak to help operators:  ⏳ Monitor plant equipment 24/7 and receive real-time SMS alerts when machinery anomalies are detected  🔔 Execute timely repair and maintenance works before machinery failure  📈 Avoid high costs of service disruptions by reducing unplanned plant downtime 👀 Watch this space for an exciting announcement next week on Imagine H2O’s evolving pilot funding work - https://lnkd.in/g8TFTySW 

📝 Pilot Project Feature  –  Groundwater Treatment for Farms in the Philippines Due to the growing inefficiencies and toxicity of by-products from chlorine disinfection, businesses are seeking out water treatment alternatives that do not require the use of chemicals. Pure Active Water Pte Ltd is piloting its chemical-free electrolysis technology with an agribusiness in Mindanao, Philippines, to:  💧 Provide long-term disinfection of groundwater, the farm’s main water source 🦠 Eliminate microbial contaminants in new and existing water networks  🐥 Improve the health and longevity of livestock, as well as the quality of eggs produced To help more entrepreneurs like Pure Active Water scale their impact, Imagine H2O will be expanding its pilot support resources so early adopters can trial new solutions faster. 👀 Stay tuned for our upcoming announcement: https://lnkd.in/g8TFTySW
