Digitalization in the water and wastewater industry
In line with a comparable advance in development in industrial production, known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0, the German Water Partnership (GWP) is launching a “Water 4.0” discussion aimed at exploring the significance of this technology-driven change to the water industry. In this context, this company is demonstrating some of its initial application scenarios (photo). This includes measurement instruments integrated with Heartbeat Technology, which tests the reliability of the instrument and helps users to improve their processes. The instruments supply digital diagnostic data, verify performance and monitor process data to create a predictive maintenance and process optimization strategy. Analyzers for monitoring phosphorus and phosphate, as well as new compact sensors integrated with the company’s proven Memosens digital technology, help operators monitor wastewater processes and optimize process control.
