StormHarvester & Northumbrian Water: Smarter Wastewater Management

0:00It's March 27th. I'm Corey with the story, and this is Europe News Today, your AI-powered European briefing. Belfast Green Tech firm Stohmharvester has landed a major long-term service deal with Northumbrian Water Group. The contract covers real-time monitoring of their massive waste water network, which stretches over 30,180 kilometers. This setup includes alerts for pump stations, detection of extra water inflows, and predictions for potential spills to allow quicker fixes and better overall control. Stohmharvester earned a spot last year as the fastest-growing tech company on the island of Ireland, according to Deloitte. Back in 2019, they pioneered an AI system that crunches data from thousands of sensors to spot problems early and prevent issues like flooding or pollution. Northumbrian water plans to use this platform for sharper oversight of their infrastructure, shifting from fixing problems after they happen to, preventing them with data-driven moves.
