Given the pressing impacts of climate change on global water supplies and the emergent need to optimise consumption and address leakage, the industry is steering towards innovative solutions. The imperative is unambiguous: utilise more granular data to induce behavioural changes and address the challenges posed by leakage and severe climate phenomena.

In essence, the emphasis at the Global Smart Water Metering & Intelligent Data Utilisation Congress is squarely on the intelligent exploitation of data, considering the comprehensive cost of acquiring such data and delving deeply into strategies for practical implementation. Numerous water utilities worldwide are evaluating AMI trials and commencing smaller-scale rollouts, leading to a unified, pivotal question: How can the industry quantify the tangible value and benefits of using more granular data? In a world bound by financial constraints, those deciding to choose AMI over AMR are confronted with another pressing question: Is the ROI worthwhile?

Making Better Use Of Data And Addressing Implementation Challenges

Indeed, smart metering acts merely as an enabler; it identifies, quantifies, and directs actions aimed at reducing water usage and addressing customer leakage. Consequently, the actual utilisation of this data is crucial and is the focal point for most of the presentations on day one.

"Honestly, the data is there, but making it talk, making it reveal the secrets of customer behaviour, now that’s an art!"
Head Of Metering Projects, French Water Utility

You told us that understanding and streamlining data is like refining gold; it’s about meticulously processing the raw, extracting the valuable, and moulding it into insightful shapes that can adorn strategies and decision-making processes for reducing consumption, leakage and more.

"The challenge is not just in acquiring data, but in optimising its utilisation and calculating the return on investments.
It’s a delicate balancing act!"
Director Of Smart Metering Projects, UAE

Did you know? An extensive focus on data analysis can lead to a 20% reduction in water wastage, highlighting the critical role of intelligent data usage in resource conservation!

Surprising, Or Not? The ongoing networking and data acquisition costs pose major challenges to water utility providers globally, demanding meticulous evaluations of the total costs involved in data acquisition and utilisation.

A growing need is emerging for compatible systems and integrated data platforms to facilitate seamless data handling and more informed decision-making processes.

Interesting Fact! Around 72% of European water utility providers we spoke to are utilising advanced data analytics and AI to optimise their processes and make more informed decisions.

And whilst intelligent data usage underpins the success of an innovative water project, there are many implementation challenges as well.

Procuring 8 to 10 million smart water meters in Europe alone applies unparalleled pressure on supply chains worldwide! As manufacturers strive to keep up with this escalating demand, there is a growing contemplation on the robustness of supply chain capabilities and the timely delivery of required meters.
