From blind spots to network visibility
For years, AWA-Ammersee could check its network only once a year. Annual manual readings left long gaps in the data. Anomalies went undetected for months. The shift to automated remote reading changes this. A Fixed Network now covers the entire service area. Near real-time data now reaches all customer meters. Network performance is monitored continuously. Teams respond to anomalies far earlier than before.
We know exactly what we feed into the network and what should come out. But the area in between was a complete blind spot – and yet that's precisely where the information is needed to identify pipe bursts and water losses.

AI-driven Water Loss Management software for proactive operations
Identifying losses is the first step; reducing them requires the right tools. With Diehl Metering's Water Loss Management (WLM) software, AWA-Ammersee benefits from continuous, AI-driven monitoring. Automated anomaly detection directs field teams to the most critical areas before losses escalate – shifting maintenance from reactive to proactive.
A project with a unique detail
One element of the rollout stands out: antenna coverage around Lake Ammersee is handled by a station installed on a paddle steamer of the Bayerische Seenschifffahrt – permanently based at the boatyard, extending data collection across the entire lakeshore during sailing operations.
