Our Technology

LiXiA designs and deploys purpose-built monitoring technology for Australia's harshest operating environments. Most of our clients access this technology through our managed service - we deploy, maintain, and monitor so they don't have to. For organisations that prefer to own and operate their own infrastructure, our hardware is also available for purchase.

FloodPUK

Flash Flood Early Warning Sensor

FloodPUK is a purpose-built water level sensor engineered for rapid-onset flood environments. Designed for deployment across roads, culverts, bridges and floodways, it delivers reliable, real-time level data that supports faster operational decisions and safer community outcomes.

Deployed across: Townsville, Hinchinbrook, Cassowary Coast, Wujal Wujal, and multiple Energy Queensland sites across North and Southeast Queensland.

Key outcomes:

Earlier detection of dangerous road conditions
Improved situational awareness during severe weather
Reduced reliance on manual inspections
Supports data-driven closure decisions
See case studies

RainPUK

Hyperlocal Rainfall Intelligence

RainPUK provides high-accuracy rainfall measurement exactly where it matters - within the catchments that drive flash flooding. When paired with water level sensing, it strengthens predictive capability and improves understanding of rapidly evolving storm events.

Key outcomes:

Catchment-specific rainfall data, not regional averages
Stronger predictive context when paired with FloodPUK
Earlier identification of developing flood risk
Supports real-time storm tracking across sensor networks

LinePUK

Electrical Safety and Flood Interface Monitoring

LinePUK monitors conductor-to-ground clearance and identifies emerging electrical hazards, particularly during flood conditions where ground levels can change rapidly. It enables utilities to respond earlier and manage risk to both field crews and the public.

Proven at scale: 150 sensors deployed across a major UK electricity network. Also deployed with Energy Queensland for flood-interface monitoring across North and Southeast Queensland.

Key outcomes:

Early identification of electrical safety hazards
Flood-interface monitoring for utility infrastructure
Supports compliance and operational risk management
Proven in deployment with Energy Queensland
Deployed at scale internationally

Where physical sensing meets machine vision

PUKVision

Customisable Machine Vision Applications

PUKVision is a fully customisable machine vision system that turns visual data into actionable intelligence. It works on live video feeds, still images, and historic footage - identifying objects, conditions and hazards specific to each client's needs, without requiring constant human monitoring.

Every deployment is different. We train and configure PUKVision to detect what matters to you - whether that's water across a road, contaminants in a waste stream, or something nobody's asked us to detect before.

Camera Infrastructure:

Works with your existing cameras OR LiXiA-supplied hardware

Processing Location:

Edge, cloud, or hybrid - configured to your requirements

Configurable Detections:

Our deployments can use active learning on top of the initial training set, meaning detection models can continuously improve over time as they get more examples to learn from.

What makes it different:

This isn't a fixed product with a predetermined set of detections. PUKVision is configured to each client's specific requirements. If you can describe what you need to detect, we can train it.

Prove it on your own data first: PUKVision works on historic footage - meaning you can run detection models against recordings you already have. That opens up retrospective analysis for incident investigation, compliance auditing, and proving the concept before committing to a live deployment.

Key capabilities:

Automated visual detection customised to your specific needs
Works on live feeds, captured images, and historic footage
Connects to existing camera infrastructure - no rip-and-replace
Edge or cloud processing to meet data sovereignty requirements
Proven in flood detection and industrial waste classification
Applies active learning to continuously improve detection accuracy
Retrospective analysis on footage you already have

Proven Applications

Deployed

Water Over Road Detection

Automated detection of water across road surfaces using live camera feeds. Supports road closure decisions by providing continuous visual confirmation without requiring physical inspection. Pairs with FloodPUK water level data for corroborated, multi-source flood intelligence.

Deployed

Contaminant Detection and Waste Classification

Identifies contaminants and waste types in waste streams using visual analysis. Supports compliance monitoring, process control, and incident response for waste management and industrial operators.

In Development

Number Plate Recognition and Automation

Automated number plate capture and recognition for access control, asset tracking, and compliance monitoring. Configurable for specific operational workflows and integration with existing management systems.

Beyond These Examples

These are starting points, not limits. PUKVision has been built as a customisable detection framework. If your operation has a visual detection challenge - something you currently rely on people watching screens or doing physical inspections to catch - talk to our Design Studio team

INPUT

Live video, still images, historic footage

CAMERAS

Existing infrastructure or LiXiA-supplied

PROCESSING

Edge, cloud, or hybrid

DETECTION

Fully customisable to client needs

OUTPUT

Alerts, classifications, event logs

TiltPUK

Structural Movement Intelligence

TiltPUK detects subtle asset movement long before it becomes visible, supporting proactive maintenance strategies across buildings, poles and critical infrastructure.

Proven at scale: 240 sensors monitoring structural movement across building assets for a Queensland transmission network operator.

Key outcomes:

Early detection of structural movement
Supports proactive maintenance over reactive inspection
Applicable across poles, buildings and infrastructure assets
Deployed at scale for major utility operator

TempPUK

Local Atmospheric Intelligence

TempPUK delivers local atmospheric insight - including temperature, humidity and pressure - enhancing environmental models and supporting more accurate risk interpretation across sensor networks.

Key outcomes:

Hyperlocal atmospheric data
Enhances accuracy of environmental and flood models
Part of the broader LiXiA sensor network, not a standalone weather station

A monitoring network, not a catalogue of sensors

Every PUK product is designed to work as part of an integrated monitoring system. Water levels gain predictive context from rainfall data. Flood conditions trigger electrical safety assessments. Atmospheric data sharpens risk models. The value isn't in any single sensor - it's in the intelligence that emerges when they work together.

Corroborated Intelligence: FloodPUK + PUKVision

FloodPUK detects rising water. PUKVision confirms water over road visually. Together, they provide corroborated flood intelligence from two independent sources - level data and visual confirmation. That's the kind of redundancy that makes engineers and risk managers very comfortable.
