As wastewater networks become more complex due to population growth and advanced monitoring technology, asset managers are looking to leverage AI and cloud technologies to improve operations.
A vital aspect of maintaining sewers is understanding asset conditions across a network. Modern intelligent inspection technology is making it easier to collect, analyse and report inspection data.
By utilising AI-powered, cloud-based solutions with seamless GIS integration, wastewater network engineers can improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of their maintenance to deliver increased network reliability and better budgetary outcomes.
WinCan inspection software, available through SECA, offers powerful data analytics, cloud-based flexibility, and planning and budgeting support, all in a tailorable, user-friendly platform.
WinCan is made up of a suite of different modules which come together to deliver data analysis solutions that identify trends, pinpoint hotspots for priority maintenance, and even forecast budgets in a cloud-integrated, AI-supported inspection environment.
WinCan’s range of reporting and data visualisation tools create a single source of essential data that wastewater infrastructure managers can use to gather any level of insights they may need.
Compatibility and accessibility
WinCan is compatible with all major types of pipe inspection cameras, and its continuous development means the platform will be able to support new technologies as they emerge.
The software streamlines the collection of pipe inspection data and makes that data seamlessly available to engineers and management for analysis and reporting.
WinCan is a powerful software that requires some training to use effectively, particularly for those unfamiliar with reporting software and inspection codes. SECA’s WinCan Business Manager, Hugh O’Sullivan, will provide the necessary training to help users become familiar with the system’s features and functionality. For beginners, the search function allows users to enter terms and view related codes, though understanding and navigating the full range of codes may need initial training and set up. SECA also provides ongoing support to ensure users have access to assistance as they continue to build confidence and proficiency with WinCan.
The collected data is presented in comprehensive grid and schematic views. This makes understanding asset data quick and easy, and reports are updated in real time as inspection information is added or changed.
Flexible reporting and tracking
Asset managers can use WinCan’s flexible reporting system to custom-tailor reports to their needs. Text and pictures can be arranged as desired, the size of columns and lines can be adjusted, and dynamic values can be generated and stored for reuse.
WinCan also empowers users to track the progress of work orders, check crew statuses and assess system conditions seamlessly. The software integrates with other industry-leading municipal asset management applications, ensuring the status and needs of one sewer department can automatically roll into broader asset tracking and resource planning activities.
Data is only as valuable as the insights it gives. WinCan unlocks the hidden potential of inspection data through its powerful cloud-enabled analytics, enabling asset managers to turn their sewer data into actionable insights and manage their infrastructure and resources in real time.
