(Finance) – “Artificial intelligence can help solve the problem of drought, allowing companies, water service managers and reclamation consortia to reduce waste and rationalize the water cycle. In Italy, water losses range from 40 70%, for this reason the issue is not only having water, but also not losing it in its path “. He states it Giulia Baccarin, CEO of Mipua company active in the field of predictive techniques to reduce waste and costs, increasing sustainability and competitiveness both in factories and in the city.
The artificial intelligences can offer new solutions in the private and public fields: “I am thinking, for example, of the intelligence that manages the gates so as to give the crops the right amount of water and allow the water resource to make the best path”, he explains Irene Stramaccioni, Mipu Food & Pharma manager. “Not only that: with our intelligence we foresee any adverse weather phenomena and reduce the risk of sudden accidents, guaranteeing a constant flow of water to the hydroelectric plants”.
Other intelligence developed by Mipu, a company with four offices and seventy employees, which celebrated the tenth anniversary of its foundation with two parties in Milan and Rome, are used to identify any losses in the distribution networks “only with the data we already have, without having need for further investment “, explains Baccarin. “We believe it to be a very important factor because it allows us to intervene only where necessary. In short, innovation could allow us to make very important steps forward”.
Baccarin highlights how Mipu wants “sbenefit from the experience gained in the field of industrial production so that it has a concrete impact on the lives of citizens. Thanks to the experience gained also abroad, we know that, with artificial intelligence and optimization algorithms, the water needs of a territory could be predicted with extreme precision, planning any interventions well in advance and significantly reducing waste even with existing structures “.
For Giovanni Presti, co-founder of Mipu, “the goal is to enhance the existing: how can I maximize the structures I have with the data I collect? In our ten-year experience we are sitting in a sea of data of which we are not aware” .
