PipePredict

PipePredict GmbH, founded in 2020 in Darmstadt, offers a revolutionary solution for the prediction and analysis of pipeline issues. The company has developed a Predictive Maintenance Tool aimed at reducing energy and media losses in pipeline networks for water, district heating, and chemical applications.

• Precise Leak Detection and Predictions: By integrating existing sensor data with a digital twin and self-developed machine learning algorithms, PipePredict can detect leaks early and accurately and make predictions about future pipe breaks[2][5].
• Application of Various Sensor Types: The tool combines different sensor types from various manufacturers and utilizes the latest transmission technologies such as LoRaWan, 5G, and SigFox to enable signal transmissions[5].

The main mission of PipePredict is to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply of liquids, gases, and thermal energy through pipeline networks. The company is committed to overcoming current challenges in pipeline monitoring and leak detection by replacing conventional methods with innovative technologies.

• Sustainability and Efficiency: By reducing water losses and energy losses, PipePredict contributes to resource and energy efficiency and promotes sustainability in infrastructure[2][5].

PipePredict has set ambitious sustainability goals:

• Reduction of Water Losses: Globally, drinking water worth 173 billion euros is lost each year due to leaks and pipe breaks. PipePredict's solution helps to significantly reduce these losses[2][5].
• Energy Efficiency: By early detection and localization of leaks, heat energy that would otherwise be lost can be preserved, which is particularly important for district heating providers[2].
• Economic Efficiency: The tool calculates the costs for repairing a leak and compares them with the rising costs of water loss to determine the optimal time for economically sensible repairs[2].
