Raw Description
Product | Our FloodMap Live produces round the clock street-level flood risk predictions and analytics. | Data feed | Our APIs seamlessly integrates with risk management portals or other mapping applications to regularly deliver nowcasts and forecasts. | Visualisation tool | Platform to enable customers to view timelines of predictions as well as review historical events. | Tailored alerts | Customers can receive real-time alerts on the likelihood of their assets or vulnerable areas being flooded. | Analytics solutions | We provide a range of bespoke and off the shelf analytical solutions including maps and infographics showing the accessibility of operations teams. This enables customers to: (1) identify key assets at risks of flooding and (2) evaluate the wider flood impacts on their services. | FloodMap | Our FloodMap software is an intuitive two-dimensional flood modelling tool widely used in many applications, including surface water, fluvial and coastal flood modelling. || Previsico is a global provider of real-time street level flood warnings. These are produced using live modelling to enable people and organisations to proactively mitigate flood impacts. Our mission is to be the leading global provider of cutting-edge flood prediction that saves lives and livelihoods. This requires continuous innovation through harnessing the leading information sources and technological developments to maximise the prediction’s quality and its impact on those affected by flooding.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

Previsico Asia Limited is a flood-tech specialist providing hyper-local, real-time flood forecasting and 2D modeling. Their core value proposition lies in "FloodMap Live," a platform that integrates IoT sensor data and meteorological feeds to provide street-level predictive analytics, helping insurers, government bodies, and utility companies mitigate water-related risks.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 52 (40-59: General Research / Engineering)

Why this Score? While Previsico is primarily a software and data-analytics firm, their "street-level" accuracy depends entirely on the reliability of physical sensor networks (IoT) deployed in harsh, corrosive, and high-fouling environments (drains, rivers, and coastal areas). 6C's Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) and PCD optical components can significantly enhance the hardware "front-end" of Previsico's data pipeline by ensuring sensor longevity and data integrity where standard materials fail.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
IoT Sensor Resilience BDD Electrochemical Electrodes BDD is chemically inert and resistant to "bio-fouling." In stagnant or flood-prone water, standard metal sensors corrode or get covered in biofilm, leading to data drift. BDD ensures years of maintenance-free water-level and quality sensing.
Optical Remote Sensing PCD Optical Windows For street-level Lidar or IR cameras used to monitor water levels, diamond windows provide a scratch-proof, chemically resistant barrier that prevents "pitting" from debris and maintains 99% > optical clarity in storm conditions.
Chemical Analysis BDD Sensing for Runoff Floodwater isn't just H2O; it carries pollutants. BDD sensors can detect heavy metals and organic pollutants in real-time, allowing Previsico to offer "Water Quality Risk" analytics alongside "Volume Risk."
System Reliability Direct Diamond Coating Coating stainless steel or ceramic sensor housings with thin-film CVD diamond provides an ultra-hard, non-stick surface that prevents debris accumulation in drainage monitoring hardware.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "As you scale your street-level monitoring, how do you manage the high maintenance costs and data inaccuracies caused by bio-fouling and chemical corrosion of your IoT sensor hardware in urban drainage environments?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can provide Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) technology to ensure your data-acquisition hardware survives the harshest flood environments, providing a maintenance-free, 'fit-and-forget' sensor front-end that guarantees 100% data uptime."
