A flow spike at 9pm: pipe break, pool, or just sprinklers?

Let the machine do the heavy lifting.

SCADA and flow data throw off anomalies constantly — demand spikes, meter faults, irrigation cycles, and the occasional pipe break, all producing a similar-looking signal. Screening every one of them manually, across every zone, around the clock, is not something a duty engineer can sustain at scale — so alarms get triaged loosely, and real breaks sometimes wait behind noise. Baseform's Monitor module classifies these events continuously across all monitored zones, distinguishing pipe breaks from sprinkler flows, demand spikes, and meter faults — matching or exceeding what human monitoring can sustain at that scale. Sprinkler volumes, once isolated, are not simply discarded: they get assigned to the correct water balance component and used for tariff calibration and demand management.
