Kando
Kando is the first AI wastewater platform turning underground sewer data into a resource, combining AI, physical AI, and environmental knowledge for real-time urban visibility
About Us
Kando is a deep-tech water intelligence company advancing wastewater management through AI and in-sewer sensing technologies that make underground systems measurable, manageable, and actionable in real time.
Our platform digitally models the underground sewer network using a dynamic digital twin, powered by a dense deployment of rugged, autonomous sensors installed directly inside the sewer. These sensors continuously measure wastewater composition and system behavior, acting as physical AI by generating high-resolution data from environments that were previously inaccessible.
Kando’s AI engine fuses this data with client-specific operational, hydraulic, and environmental inputs to create a live, continuously updating digital layer of the sewer network. This enables precise source identification of pollution, real-time tracking of environmental events, and early detection of system failures before they escalate.
With full operational visibility across entire urban catchments, utilities and cities use Kando to prevent treatment plant upsets, reduce operational costs, improve efficiency, minimize regulatory exposure, and support water reuse and circular water strategies. By transforming raw wastewater signals into decision-ready intelligence, Kando fundamentally changes how wastewater infrastructure is monitored, protected, and managed
Relevant Challenges
Water Scarcity
Kando helps solve water scarcity by using AI to turn wastewater into a reliable, high-quality resource – enabling safe reuse, protecting natural water sources, and maximizing the efficiency of existing water infrastructure
Wastewater Treatment
Kando provides real-time, system-wide visibility into sewer networks, enabling utilities to detect pollution sources, abnormal discharges, and process upsets before they reach treatment plants. By preventing overloads, anaerobic conditions, and untreated inflows, Kando helps reduce fugitive emissions such as methane and nitrous oxide while improving treatment efficiency
