Augmented Reality for Water Utilities Management
ARGIS is an Augmented Reality service that supports workforces in the complete life-cycle of water utilities management.
Water utilities companies maintain vast networks of underground infrastructure. This infrastructure is difficult to access, and coexist with other utilities (gas, electricity, telecommunications).
Additionally, the inability of utility workers to directly see buried assets, occasionally leads to excavation damages.
For decades, water management companies have been relying on 2D maps to find pipes, mains, and manhole covers. Time, energy, and money were spent searching for the right files in the office and the right pipelines in the ground.
ARGIS uses an advanced hybrid location algorithm that combines the positioning information obtained via the built-in GNSS Galileo receiver with image processing and IMU (inertial measurement unit) computation, which enables sub-meter location accuracy without professional GNSS hardware, even indoors.
If higher precision is required, the positioning precision can be enhanced to sub-dm by connecting an external GNSS Galileo RTK (Real Time Kinematic) receiver to the AR capable device.
