Chesapeake Watershed Authority connected remote sensors to a single analytics layer — surfacing contamination risks hours earlier and replacing Monday-morning spreadsheet marathons with live, auditable data.
The Chesapeake Watershed Authority monitors drinking water for 2.1 million residents across two states. Their challenge was not a lack of data — it was too much data in too many places. Field technicians logged readings on rugged tablets that synced overnight. Lab results arrived by email. Regulators wanted weekly reports built from sources that did not agree.
Marcus Okonkwo’s team of fourteen analysts spent most of Monday reconciling sensor readings with lab confirmations before anyone could answer a simple question: is the water safe right now? During a turbidity spike in April, that delay meant the public affairs team drafted a precautionary notice based on incomplete data.
Our analysts used to stitch spreadsheets together every Monday. Now the data is live, auditable, and shared with regulators in a single click.
Netisen connected 340 remote sensor sites — turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and flow rate — to a centralized platform with full data lineage. Lab results ingested automatically from the LIMS system. Threshold alerts routed to the right analyst based on watershed zone and severity, not a single shared inbox.
When a tropical storm dropped six inches of rain in twelve hours, turbidity sensors upstream of the main intake spiked four hours before levels reached the treatment plant. The platform triggered a staged response: increased coagulant dosing, accelerated lab sampling, and a draft public notice held in ready status. The plant never breached safe thresholds. No boil-water advisory was issued.
Okonkwo’s team submitted the required state compliance report in twenty minutes that Friday — work that previously consumed two analysts for most of a day.

Pacific Northwest Electric Cooperative
When outage calls stacked up faster than crews could dispatch, Pacific Northwest Electric replaced siloed SCADA dashboards with one live control plane — giving operators and field teams the same picture of the grid.

City of Riverside
Riverside deployed adaptive signals at 180 intersections — smoothing rush-hour corridors and giving planners evidence-backed data for long-term street redesigns.
Logistics & ports
NorthSea Container Terminal
NorthSea Container Terminal modeled berths, cranes, and inland logistics together — cutting vessel wait times and reducing idle emissions across one of Europe’s highest-volume shipping corridors.
