Digitalization increases efficiency and security in the water industry
Siemens
At IFAT, this company is focusing on the digitalization of water and wastewater plants (photo). The solutions on display cover the entire lifecycle of plants — from planning through to operation and maintenance, helping to sustainably reduce energy consumption and lower the overall costs. Companies and municipalities are increasing both the efficiency and security of supply by, for example, planning, simulating and optimizing plants and processes using a digital twin. Innovations include new hardware concepts and industry-specific modules for the Simatic PCS 7 process control system, as well as automation over the TIA Portal using Simatic S7-1200 and S7-1500 and cloud-based solutions for the optimized use of pumps. A digital twin of the real plant provides users with significant advantages over the entire lifecycle of the plant. Hall A1, Stand 439 — Siemens AG, Munich, Germany
