Xylem

Sontek QC4

The future of waterway management utilizing machine learning to automate water monitoring in flood prone sites.

Product

Vision Without Limits

Eliminating the need for manual water level measurements, the QC2 continuously monitors flow rates in water ways, providing accurate information on water usage, flood risk and rainfall flows, even where gauging was previously unsafe or impossible.

Partnership

A Confluence Of Engineering

Integrating dual stereo cameras, optical flow tracking, and cloud-based machine learning into a compact, rugged system, our team worked hand-in-hand with Xylem to realize their vision for a non-contact system that operates reliably and efficiently without routine servicing in the harshest of climates.

Working with the Ingenuity team was a terrific experience. Their integrated approach to electronic, software, and mechanical design brought our product vision to life with precision and innovation.
