Please enjoy the informative blog below. Learn how AVEVA can help you achieve operational excellence and lower your carbon footprint by visiting our Water and Wastewater website.

From everyday living to industrial operations and production, it goes without saying that water is an essential part of life. With 71% of the earth's surface covered in water, its essential nature remains undisputed. Water and water assets are vital components of productivity in industries across different sectors. Water utilities and water network operators have a very simple mission: Deliver safe and reliable water service to their customers. However, like most industries, the water and wastewater sectors are facing diverse challenges such as an ageing workforce, ageing infrastructures, ever increasing government regulations and competition for diminishing investment capital.

Technology developments like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and big data analytics can provide the tools to tackle the issues faced by the water and wastewater sector. However, a well thought out implementation plan is needed to assure this digital transformation does not lead to siloed software systems that could worsen the problems it intends to solve. The lack or improper integration of several third-party and home-grown systems often lead to lack of enterprise visibility and inefficient decision making, particularly when abnormal situations occur. The situation worsens as infrastructure continues to age, experienced work force retires or changes roles, and specialized applications to operate water and wastewater facilities become more complex. This increasing complexity and variety of software and hardware and a changing workforce makes it imperative to have a reliable single version of the truth.

This is where AVEVA’s solutions could help your organization take the next step in digitally transforming the way your do business while achieving operational excellence and maximizing your ROI. Built on mission-critical industrial applications, proven technologies, and decades-long experience in enterprise-wide integration, AVEVA’s software portfolio is a perfect fit for water and wastewater organizations, regardless of where they are in the digital transformation journey. AVEVA provides customers with unmatched functionality in connectivity, data modeling, redundancy, resiliency, and scalability.

In particular, the AVEVA Unified Operations Center is the foundation for real-time operational performance management for water and wastewater organizations, providing closed-loop enterprise-wide visibility to optimize assets and operations. Based on a “System of Systems” approach, AVEVA’S UOC allows the integration of out-of-the box water industry solution templates, reports, dashboards and operational KPIs into a single platform.
