KETOS teams up with Siemens to bolster water management on a worldwide scale
In a groundbreaking move, KETOS and Siemens have partnered to deliver comprehensive water quality management solutions for the industrial and municipal sectors. The collaboration leverages Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and smart sensor technologies to enhance water quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.
The partnership harnesses smart sensors capable of measuring multiple water quality parameters, such as pH, turbidity, chlorine levels, and metals, in near real-time. These sensors feed data into cloud-based platforms, enabling operators to visualize and manage distributed water assets remotely. This integration reduces manual sampling, lowers operational expenses, and improves the detection of water quality excursions from minutes rather than days, which is critical for both urban water networks and large industrial facilities.
Meena Sankaran, CEO of KETOS, emphasizes the importance of a holistic view of water availability for sustainable management. KETOS's solution automates water testing and monitoring processes, providing real-time actionable water quality insights that can integrate with the Siemens platform. The goal is to ensure water safety and sustainability while supporting Siemens' water reuse initiatives and reducing contamination of water bodies.
KETOS operates in the water industry with a mission to make water accessible, affordable, safer, and more sustainable. The company's focus on water quality is evident in their SHIELD system, which has been implemented in Fortune 500 chemical plants to monitor over 30 water parameters. The approach integrates Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) dashboards that centralize water management, enabling optimized chemical dosing and energy use through automated control loops based on sensor surrogates.
Siemens, as a major player in smart water and smart city platforms, collaborates with technology providers like KETOS to deliver IoT-driven solutions for water monitoring and management. These solutions support compliance with environmental and health standards by providing instant alerts and remote operational control, benefiting both municipal utilities and industrial water users.
Sebastian Guckelberger, global head of portfolio and business development of water and wastewater at Siemens, stated that the partnership aims to empower water operators with integrated strategies for better water management and increased sustainability. The collaboration will offer enhanced visibility, proactive risk mitigation, and optimized savings across operations with cohesive predictions from blended data. Additionally, Siemens Water (SIWA) applications can help avoid water loss and optimize energy efficiency.
The partnership is part of Siemens Xcelerator strategy, which aims to bring together the company's digital offerings to help customers transition to a more sustainable future. With the KETOS partnership, Siemens and KETOS are set to revolutionize water management, providing robust, scalable water quality solutions tailored to the complex demands of industrial and municipal water sectors.
- The KETOS and Siemens collaboration, driven by smart sensor technologies, aims to offer water quality solutions in both industrial and municipal sectors, ultimately supporting financial savings and operational efficiency.
- Leveraging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology, the partnership between KETOS and Siemens will deliver comprehensive water management solutions, focusing on ensuring water safety, sustainability, and compliance with environmental and health standards in the finance sector.
