WANDA: Water ANomaly Detection Application
The uncertainty in collected data is extensive while the quality of the data is a prerequisite for an increased pace of digitalization in many industries.
AN NSVA PROJECT The WANDA project (Water ANomaly Detection Application) is part of Vinnova’s call for Advanced and Innovative Digitalization 2023. The uncertainty in collected data is extensive while the quality of the data is a prerequisite for an increased pace of digitalization in many industries. Within WANDA, we therefore want to develop a completely new industry-specific digital service using a unique method, based on AI technology, that ensures correct and reliable data.
Through WANDA, we aim to improve our water and sewage systems so that they, for example, can detect when something is about to go wrong even though no individual sensors have yet alarmed. The level in a sewage line might not have resulted in an alarm yet, but the signs are clear that a blockage is about to occur. We also want to understand when things are completely in order even though sensors are alerting about errors. A constant maximum value from a sensor in a storage tank may not be due to a fault but due to prolonged rain, and so on.
