Kando

Kando is a wastewater intelligence company that provides a comprehensive platform designed to optimize wastewater networks and improve water quality. Their solution integrates specialized IoT hardware, such as sensors and automated water samplers placed within collection systems, with cloud-based software that utilizes artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI. By continuously monitoring wastewater quality and dynamics, the platform identifies pollution sources, detects blockages, and tracks infiltration. This end-to-end approach allows the system to process data into actionable, real-time insights, which are delivered to operators through a user-friendly interface or a voice assistant, enabling proactive decision-making and efficient system management.

This technology is vital for utility operators, cities, and environmental management teams aiming to enhance compliance, prevent costly network disruptions, and protect wastewater treatment plant processes. By providing 24/7 visibility and automated event detection, Kando helps organizations mitigate risks, reduce operational costs, and support wastewater reuse initiatives. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Israel, the company has expanded its operations to the United States, Europe, and Australia, delivering its intelligence platform to support sustainable urban water management and environmental health. Kando has secured significant venture funding to accelerate its innovation in generative AI for the water sector, demonstrating its role as a key partner for utilities seeking to modernize their infrastructure.
