Preventing Leakage Incidents with Innovative IoT Remote Monitoring Systems at Local Government Week 2026

Preventing Water Leakage Incidents with IoT Technology

In light of the rapidly aging water infrastructure, Fuji Tecom Inc. exhibited its innovative cloud-based IoT remote monitoring system, "Leaknetz Cellular LNL-C," at the Local Government & Public Week 2026 held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 13 to 15, 2026. This system is specifically designed to prevent social losses caused by leakage incidents and enhance the preventive maintenance of water pipelines.

A Grateful Thanks for Our Visitors

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who visited our booth, which attracted representatives from various municipalities and members of parliament concerned about maintaining and managing aging water infrastructure. Attendees had the chance to observe the installation setups mimicking real-world scenarios, where we presented the current state of aging water infrastructure and the mechanisms behind remote monitoring of water leakage. We effectively conveyed how daily monitoring using Leaknetz Cellular plays a vital role in risk management. Additionally, there was considerable interest in the new features and enhancements of our upcoming model currently in development.

Understanding the Remote Monitoring System

The aging water infrastructure faces serious challenges, exacerbated by frequent disasters and the ongoing labor shortage due to declining populations. As the risks of leakage incidents increase over time, it has become clear that the only way to prevent accidents until the outdated pipes can be replaced is through effective leakage monitoring.

The "Leaknetz Cellular LNL-C" system utilizes advanced sensing technology integrated with AI, IoT, and cloud capabilities. By facilitating continuous remote monitoring, this system not only helps prevent leakage incidents but also improves the efficiency of inspection processes, paving the way for an innovative preventive maintenance framework for water management.

Key Features Highlighted at the Exhibition

The exhibited system is an IoT-enabled remote water leakage monitoring solution that utilizes sensors installed on water pipes to capture minute vibrations caused by leaks. The high-sensitivity sensors record data, which is then analyzed using a unique hybrid assessment algorithm combining AI and cloud technology. When a potential leak is detected, immediate notifications are sent via email or social media to smartphones or PCs, enabling rapid response to emerging signs of leakage. This infrastructure significantly mitigates the risk of larger-scale incidents.

Proven Implementation Across the Country

Our system has been successfully implemented in over 100 municipalities across Japan, with more than 5,000 monitoring sites. We have been utilized in various scenarios, including detecting leaks immediately after disasters, monitoring high-risk distribution pipes, and overseeing pipelines along major thoroughfares. Our solutions have demonstrated their effectiveness in various contexts, showcasing the system's adaptability and reliability. For more details, interested parties can refer to our official website.
