Collaboration between KETOS and Siemens Reinforces Global Water Management Solutions
In a significant move, Siemens and KETOS have joined forces to provide comprehensive water quality management solutions for the industrial and municipal water sectors. This partnership is part of Siemens' Xcelerator strategy, aiming to empower water operators with integrated strategies for better water management and increased sustainability.
Meena Sankaran, the CEO of KETOS, emphasized the importance of a holistic view of water availability for sustainable management. Sankaran stated that KETOS will focus on real-time actionable water quality insights that can integrate with the Siemens platform. The KETOS solution includes intelligent robotic hardware, IoT connectivity, AI-based software, and services for installation and ongoing uptime.
The KETOS solution offers real-time testing for water efficiency and quality. Specifically, KETOS SHIELD is deployed to monitor over 30 parameters such as free chlorine, fluoride, hardness, and metals in near real-time. This system reduces manual sampling costs, improves regulatory compliance, and optimizes chemical and energy usage by supporting automated control set-point adjustments.
Sebastian Guckelberger, the global head of portfolio and business development of water and wastewater at Siemens, stated that the partnership with KETOS continues to empower water operators with integrated strategies for better water management and increased sustainability. He also mentioned that Siemens' water reuse initiatives are supported by this collaboration.
KETOS' mission is to make water accessible, affordable, safer, and more sustainable. The aim of the partnership is to provide water operators with a unified operational picture for both industrial and municipal water management. This approach boosts operational efficiency, lowers operating expenses, and enhances uptime for water treatment facilities by turning distributed sensor data into a unified operational picture.
Siemens Water (SIWA) applications can help avoid water loss, improve predictive maintenance measures, and optimize energy efficiency, specifically developed for the water and wastewater industry. Moreover, high-caliber water metrics are becoming increasingly essential for ESG reporting and reducing carbon footprint, a point highlighted by Sankaran.
KETOS has developed a vertically integrated solution for water testing and monitoring. The partnership focuses on the industrial and municipal water sectors, where real-time, high-frequency monitoring of multiple water quality parameters using smart sensors and AI analytics can significantly improve water management.
In summary, the partnership between Siemens and KETOS is set to revolutionize the water industry by providing water operators with a comprehensive water quality management solution that enhances operational efficiency, lowers operating expenses, and improves sustainability. This collaboration is a significant step towards ensuring the availability, affordability, safety, and sustainability of water resources for the future.
