EP 138 - What insight can water utility data provide to cities - Ricardo Gilead Baibich, CTO, Kando

In this episode, we interview Ricardo Baibich, CTO of Kando. We discuss the use of IoT data from water utilities to provide visibility into energy efficiency, infrastructure status, and population health risks and trends. We also explored the unique challenges faced by utilities due to the complexity of their networks and their inability to control the volume and quality of water flows into their systems.  

Kando is a data intelligence platform that brings data from waste water to help improve and support public health and the environment. Kando works with public authorities, municipalities, and water utilities to create operational visibility by leveraging IoT hardware and machine learning. 

 Key Questions: 

• What are the biggest challenges that utilities face in managing waste water infrastructure? 
• How can utilities use waste water data and machine learning to understand population health trends?  
• How can legacy software and hardware be integrated into a modern connected system?  
• How can data analytics make a circular water cycle possible and preserve water in arid regions?
