Picarro’s Risk Mapping capabilities combine Picarro’s real-time methane data with powerful analytical tools that enable an unprecedented level of detail of the risk within a gas network. This level of granularity in both time and space delivers the best understanding available of system risk and gives immediately actionable insight for faster risk reduction. 

Picarro’s forecasting analytics offer a high-resolution, predictive model of future compliance and repair labor requirements. This means a highly accurate understanding of compliance and repair requirements before labor is scheduled and deployed.
