Plumbers will soon use Artificial Intelligence based technology to judge the quality of the water pipelines.
Plumbing industry will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to predict the quality of water and condition of the sewage pipelines.
Startups at the Plumbex International Exhibition announced that they will use AI to detect the condition of the water pipelines. It will also help reduce manual scavenging.
Prajwal, an exhibitor from Solinas Integrity, a startup, said that the company has created an AI powered robot. The robot will go inside the water and sewer pipelines and will give a larger view of what the pipeline looks like.
“The AI will analyze the condition of the pipelines and give data about the leakage and cracks in the pipeline. It will also prdict the health of the pipeline, ,” said Prajwal.
Solinas Integrity tried contacting Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to show their model of the robot and give a presentation regarding the project. “BWSSB is currently busy with elections and we did not get any appointment,” Prajwal said.

Chandra Shekhar Gupta, national vice president of Indian Plumbing Association (IPA) said that they have invited the government affiliated startups which focus on AI based technology. “We are trying to bring more companies to exhibit their new technology based plumbing equipment,” he added.
Selva Prabhakaran, another exhibitor said, “The sensor-based machines will provide data about the quality and the quantity of water that a particular household or society has. AI will analyze and process the data and give the results related to water levels and water pressure in a particular area.”
The Junior Secretary of IPA said, “People are not aware of plumbing. They would rather focus on the Light Emitting Diode (LED) TV in their house than focusing on this. Lack of awareness is a major obstacle in this industry.”
Plumbex India is hosting a three-day international plumbing exhibition starting from April 27. On the first day of the exhibition, around 160 companies from across the world came to exhibit their new technologies. Around 2,000 visitors registered on the first morning.
