TaKaDu will enable us to monitor our network automatically and provide early detection of ‘incidents’ without being dependent on manual feedback from the field. That means smarter decision-making and a faster response time to potential incidents, maintaining customers’ satisfaction with our service.”

Amir Peleg, Founder & CEO of TaKaDu, said, “Mei Carmel is one of the most technologically advanced utilities in Israel and we’re delighted that we can leverage our experience in utilities around the world to help companies closer to home improve their network performance. We actually see ourselves as ‘high-tech plumbers’, helping to save critical natural resources. This is particularly relevant in Israel where water is such an important commodity.”
