Xylem follows up Sensus buy with Visenti acquisition
Source: Global Water Intelligence (GWI)
US-based water technology giant Xylem has revealed that it has bought Singapore-based water analytics firm Visenti Solutions, in tandem with its $1.7 billion acquisition of smart meter giant Sensus which closed earlier this week.
Xylem has been working with Visenti since 2012, providing sensors for the latter’s analytics programmes for PUB in Singapore. Visenti, which was spun out of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) research project in 2011, specialises in the analysis and visualisation of data from pressure sensors in water distribution networks. Its software provides predictive simulations of possible pipe breakages to help utilities plan asset maintenance and repair.
In addition to pressure sensors and flow meters, Visenti’s software also analyses data from smart meters, making it highly complementary to the Sensus business. Sensus is one of the world’s leading advanced metering specialists, and has developed its own closed data transmission network for meters and sensors.
