Alain Dedieu, President of the Water sector at Schneider Electric, said: “This agreement delivers on Schneider Electric’s commitment to global sustainability, which is particularly important in the water sector, which has received much international and industry attention. The cooperation between the two sides is a prerequisite for us to deal with the complex relationship between water resources and energy, and is also the key to realizing the flexible use of water resources and the energy-saving and low-carbon water infrastructure. Enabling the full life-cycle transformation of the water cycle with digital technologies is essential to lead us towards a more sustainable future world.”
EcoStruxure Water Advisor’s combination of water consultants and AQUADVANCED series software, guided by the needs of pipe network and water plant operators and water resource managers, is powered by innovative artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and has the ability to integrate and process thousands of data points in real time. Water treatment infrastructure can be monitored and actively managed around the full life cycle of the water cycle. For example, detecting pipeline leaks and pollution, preventing and controlling the effects of extreme climates such as floods and droughts, ensuring water supply and cost stability, optimizing water supply and wastewater treatment to ensure compliance with regulations and environmental standards, and so on.
With the integration of EcoStruxure Water Advisor with the AQUADVANCED family of software, companies can reduce energy consumption by 30%, unprofitable water by 15%, and reduce wastewater emissions by 50%, protecting their surroundings. In addition, the integrated solution can save 25% of operating costs, while the digital twin solution can help enterprises save up to 20% of the total cost of ownership, achieving cost reduction and efficiency.
The joint venture between Schneider Electric and Suez aims to leverage their strengths to promote the adoption of digital solutions and accelerate the digital transformation of the global water industry.
