Case Study: Cadagua/Ferrovial achieves faster wastewater inspections and predictive maintenance with Sensfix AI

How Sensfix Enables Smaller Wastewater Treatment Facilities Operations and Scaling With Lower Skilled Resources

The customer, a large engineering, construction, and operations & maintenance company (Cadagua/Ferrovial), faced significant inefficiencies at a Heineken brewery wastewater plant. Their challenges included slow, manual pipe inspections; delayed lab analysis for critical VFA monitoring; paper-based logs creating compliance gaps; and the risk of chemical tanks running dry due to a lack of automated monitoring.

Sensfix implemented its ServiceScanAI and FormifyPro solutions in a 17-week proof of concept. The solution automated pipe inspections, making them six times faster with 95% defect detection accuracy, introduced AI for VFA prediction, installed continuous vibration monitoring for motors, and digitized all logs. For Sensfix, the results included a dramatic reduction in inspection time and cost, a shift to predictive maintenance, improved environmental compliance, and the creation of a reference site for the wastewater industry.
