MentorAPM advances asset intelligence for water utilities at WEFTEC 2026

PHOENIX - Amzeal -- MentorAPM, a leader in asset intelligence for water and wastewater utilities, will showcase how credible asset data turns into better decisions at WEFTEC 2026. As more water utilities adopt AI, MentorAPM will show them how to apply it practically and responsibly through live demonstrations and customer stories, including a walkthrough of MentorLens®, the company's tool for high-quality, Level 2 rapid condition assessments. MentorAPM will also give attendees a first look at Nelson, its asset-aware AI coworker, currently in beta ahead of a broader launch in 2027.

"In this day and age, it seems like every time you turn around there's a new, shiny AI tool promising to solve all of your biggest challenges," said Tacoma Zach, co-founder and CEO of MentorAPM. "But without what we call 'asset data credibility,' meaning accurate, quality data at the base, those tools aren't going to be very useful. MentorLens was our first jump into the AI world, and after two years, we've seen firsthand how AI can help utilities use good asset information to get to decisions faster and with less room for human error. We want to share what we've learned with other leaders facing similar challenges and show how we're applying those lessons as we continue to develop our approach to AI."

MentorLens uses AI to help utilities build complete, current and reliable asset information. The tool reduces the time and cost of asset inventory and condition assessments while improving data quality. Across deployments, MentorLens has been shown to cut asset data collection time by up to 10 times and reduce costs by as much as 75 percent, with these benefits demonstrated at utilities such as Santa Monica Water Resources, Genesee County Drain Commissioner Division of Water & Waste Services and Monterey One Water. The resulting data can flow into a utility's existing CMMS or EAM system, giving utilities a more reliable asset record to support condition, risk and reliability decisions and, for MentorAPM customers, providing the context Nelson needs to work with that information.

Nelson understands how physical assets operate, deteriorate and affect service. It connects MentorAPM's operational, condition, risk and reliability context, helping users understand what is happening, determine what matters next and safely move decisions into action. Users can ask questions about their asset data in plain language and get answers based on that context.
