Schneider Electric has launched EcoStruxure Water Advisor, a cloud-based intelligence platform that enables utilities to see what is happening in their infrastructure in real time.
It brings together data from multiple systems and shows it in one place, so teams can quickly identify issues and decide how to respond. By providing a clear, live view of the entire water network, the system helps utilities reduce water loss, lower operating costs, and maintain a reliable supply for customers.
Delivered through the secure, cloud-based industrial intelligence platform, AVEVA CONNECT, EcoStruxure Water Advisor brings together data from SCADA systems, sensors, billing platforms, hydraulic models, and energy infrastructure into a single environment.
Digital twin technology
By applying AI-driven analytics, predictive insights and digital twin technology, it enables utilities to shift from reactive operations to continuous, proactive management of their water plants and networks.
This enables them to:
- Reduce non-revenue water (water that is lost or unaccounted for before it reaches customers) and operational costs
- Improve service reliability and network visibility
- Support regulatory compliance and sustainability goals
- Extend asset life through predictive monitoring
Operational silos
Designed to work with existing IT, operational and energy systems, the platform helps utilities to break down operational silos and give a unified picture of how their networks are performing.
This data-driven approach helps them anticipate disruption, respond to change, and protect long-term water supply.
Utilities worldwide are under growing pressure from water scarcity, ageing infrastructure, rising energy costs, and tightening regulation – while continuing to lose significant volumes of treated water through leaks and operational inefficiencies.
