Predictive maintenance is een van de big-datatoepassingen met enorme potentie. Voor Vitens, het grootste waterbedrijf van Nederland met meer dan 5,5 miljoen klanten, toonden CGI en IBM in een proof of value aan dat sneller en nauwkeuriger lekken lokaliseren in potentie miljoenen kan besparen.
De primaire taak van Vitens is ervoor zorgen dat klanten te allen tijde kunnen beschikken over topkwaliteit drinkwater. Met een netwerk van meer dan 49.000 km relatief oude pijpleiding, is het kostenefficiënt onderhouden van het netwerk een voortdurende uitdaging. Veelal wordt gekozen voor preventief onderhoud waardoor pijpleiding vaak eerder wordt vervangen dan strikt nodig is. Desondanks treden er regelmatig lekken op met soms grote schade en bedreiging van de leveringszekerheid.
Het lokaliseren van lekken gebeurt handmatig, wat veel tijd en geld kost omdat het zoekgebied vaak kan oplopen tot tientallen kilometers. Vitens vroeg CGI en IBM om met behulp van een big-datatoepassing een methode te ontwikkelen voor het lokaliseren van lekken. In een proof of value werd historische data geanalyseerd waarbij de helft van de geanalyseerde lekken tot op 2,5 km nauwkeurig kon worden gelokaliseerd.
Door sneller lekken te lokaliseren of zelfs te voorspellen, kan Vitens niet alleen direct besparen op inzet van medewerkers voor lokalisatie en bezetting van het callcenter. Het maakt het ook mogelijk om de effectieve levensduur van pijpleidingen te verlengen of, bij minder kritische delen van het netwerk, zelfs te kiezen voor de maximale levensduur waarbij pas leiding pas wordt vervangen bij het daadwerkelijk optreden van lekken.

Figure 1: Best-in-Class companies leverage all technology enablers to enhance outcomes
“The number of companies that leverage predictive solutions has almost doubled from 17% in 2012 to 32% in 2013 and we expect it to reach 46% by end of this year. Many of these projects focus on better insights around physical assets which is a natural and critically important starting point into predictive for most companies.”
