Stattus4 4Fluid Acoustic Leak Detection

Stattus4 is a company based in Sorocaba, Brazil, that applies artificial intelligence and data analytics to sanitation management, detecting anomalies such as sector mixing and non-visible leaks. It lists customers among Brazilian utilities including Sabesp, Sanepar, Embasa and Aegea.

4Fluid is its leak management module. A highly sensitive acoustic collector developed by Stattus4 captures noise, a field app logs the collection, and an AI platform filters ambient noise and flags suspected leak points. Geophone technicians then visit only pre-qualified points. Sister modules Ada and Turing cover sector analysis and pressure and flow data.

• 4Fluid Collector: acoustic device developed by Stattus4 to pick up leak noise.
• Field App: simplified interface for inspection teams to log data quickly.
• AI analysis: filters urban and consumption noise and flags anomalies, trained on thousands of samples.
• Map view: completed sweeps with collection history, operator and time.
• Productivity dashboards: historical data to direct field effort.
• Ada and Turing modules: sector analysis and pressure and flow data management.

Pre-screening of distribution mains in provincial Vietnamese water companies before geophone crews are sent out. Meter readers collecting audio during routine rounds in dense urban districts. Prioritizing leak repair in DMAs with high night flow.

Field crews focus only on suspected leak points, which raises sweep productivity. Cost per kilometer swept falls and maintenance becomes more accurate. Audio collection can be done by a meter reader or another team member. The company states more than 250 cities served and 540,000 m3 of water saved per day across its modules.

Utilities seek lower-cost alternatives to blanket leak sweeps with geophones. Vietnamese utilities such as SAWACO units continue to lower loss rates and look for tools to prioritize field inspection. AI-assisted acoustic screening addresses this by narrowing inspection to likely points.
