Digital Transformation in the Water Industry

Schneider Electric’s eGuide, “Digital Transformation in the Water Industry: How to Take It to the Next Level with a Digital Twin”, explores how water and wastewater utilities can harness digital twins to enhance sustainability, resilience, and operational performance. As climate challenges, resource constraints, and regulatory pressures intensify, digital transformation is essential for future-ready water management.

• Enables real-time synchronization between physical systems and their virtual models for continuous optimization.
• Integrates IoT, AI, and analytics to provide actionable insights, predictive maintenance, and performance visibility.
• Reduces CapEx by up to 50%¹ and OpEx energy costs by up to 80%² through efficiency gains and smart automation.
• Supports cybersecurity, workforce enablement, and sustainability through connected, secure digital environments.
• Delivers 10–20% improvements in water loss reduction and operational efficiency in real-world deployments.

By implementing EcoStruxure™ for Water & Wastewater and AVEVA software, Schneider Electric empowers utilities to unify operations from field to enterprise, turning data into tangible business value while building a smarter, more sustainable water future.
