Ovarro works with customers and a global network of partners across Water, Oil & Gas, Broadcast, Process, Energy and Transportation to manage critical assets efficiently, intelligently and collaboratively.
One of Ovarro's key products, the Eureka, an advanced system for detecting leaks through sound, relied on an outdated, soon-to-be-discontinued rugged Windows tablet for operation.
The Ovarro engineers came up with a new idea: a low-energy, wearable receiver, named the Belt Clip, designed to receive signals from the leak-detecting loggers. However, this device was still in the conceptual phase, with no practical way to interact with the loggers.
Before we could get to work we needed to build an internal application to emulate the Belt Clip's functionality. This simulation allowed us to create the comms protocols and interface capable of streaming large volumes of audio and data of a short range.
Following this, we tackled the development of an Android application. This app allows for the mapping of pipe networks, specifying details such as the pipe's material, dimensions, and length. Once the loggers are in place, the app captures up to 4,000 data points every second and features an algorithm that correlates these data points to quickly and precisely locate underground leaks in metal and non-metal pipes.
In addition, we also assisted in the development of the custom firmware for the Belt Clip receivers.
Ovarro now has an easy and intuitive device in the Eureka5 that is used globally by operation teams aiming to cut down on leaks and pollution.
