Key features of Nautilus
These are the key features of Nautilus:
In-Line Navigation:
The Nautilus is designed to move through pipes without interrupting the water service. This means your operations continue smoothly, with no disruptions to essential water supply services.
Neutral Buoyancy
Design:
Nautilus has been engineered to maintain neutral buoyancy, allowing it to float at the center of the pipe. This design ensures smooth navigation through the network, enabling it to overcome slopes and pass through siphons with minimal risk, while maintaining high sensitivity for detecting even the smallest leaks.Leak Detection Precision: With pinpoint accuracy of less than 1 meter, Nautilus locates leaks with impressive precision. This ensures that your teams can focus on the exact areas that need attention, saving time and resources.
Extended Travel Capability:
Capable of traveling up to 35 kilometers daily, Nautilus covers large distances in a short time. This feature is ideal for large-scale operations, allowing it to inspect vast networks of pipes without any delays.
Low Flow Operation:
Unlike traditional systems, Nautilus works even under very low flow rates, maintaining consistent performance in challenging conditions. This feature makes it versatile for use in a variety of water systems, and it is an additional benefit of its neutral buoyancy,
Real-Time Tracking:
With Nautilus, you receive real-time tracking of the inspection process. This provides up-to-the-minute data, ensuring you are always informed about the position of Nautilus during the inspection.
How Nautilus benefits municipal and
industrial water systems
Nautilus offers significant advantages for both municipal and industrial water systems, making it an indispensable tool for modern infrastructure management.

Municipal water systems:
For municipalities, Nautilus provides an efficient and non-invasive method for monitoring and maintaining water systems. Its ability to detect leaks and anomalies in real-time ensures that cities can address issues quickly, reducing water loss and minimizing downtime. The system’s ability to operate without disrupting the water supply means that daily life continues without interruption, a crucial factor in maintaining public trust.

Industrial water systems:
In industrial settings, water systems are often more complex, requiring advanced tools for monitoring and maintenance. Nautilus is perfectly suited for these environments, offering precise leak detection and internal pressure monitoring, which are critical for maintaining the efficiency and safety of industrial machinery and pipelines. The ability to identify gas pockets and pressure irregularities also helps prevent potential damage to the system, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
By integrating Nautilus, both municipalities and industries can not only enhance their operational efficiency but also contribute to global sustainability efforts by conserving water and reducing waste.
Advanced leak detection for
superior performance
Nautilus is engineered to provide exceptional leak detection, offering more than just basic diagnostics. With its advanced sensors and AI-powered analysis, the system provides:
Leak position
pinpointing:
It identifies the exact location of leaks with an accuracy of less than 1 meter, provided that inspection requirements are met, enabling your team to address the issue precisely where it’s needed.
Leak severity and
flowrate:
Not only does Nautilus detect leaks, but it also measures their severity and the associated flowrate, providing a comprehensive picture of the issue to help prioritize repairs and generate a KPI of the saved water,
Internal pressure
profile:
Monitoring internal pressure allows the system to detect potential weak spots, preventing issues before they become critical.
Air/Gas pocket
identification:
Nautilus can identify the presence of air or gas pockets, which can cause operational inefficiencies or even damage to the pipeline.
This combination of real-time data and advanced diagnostics makes Nautilus the most reliable tool for ensuring the long-term integrity of your water systems.
