Technology Overview: Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak

With an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, it allows for centralized management of leak risk and on-site verification results. Users can quickly check data in real-time, supporting fast leak detection and repair planning.

By routinely registering and managing leakage locations within this system, AI can re-evaluate leakage risks based on the accumulated data, leading to improved accuracy.
