Integration of IT, sensors and new algorithm-models will create new possibilities for the connected operation of complex water- and wastewater-infrastructure. This will allow new approaches on the road to efficient water systems based on new solutions with the use of digitalization.

FSD is running several projects in the topic digitalization:

• OPTIMA – Data integration for predictive control and operational optimization of wastewater systems
• Digital Twin of a pumping station (supported by Siemens): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y26_b61fIjs
• Sensors, data analysis and actuators for „smart pumping stations“
• Development of an intelligent, functionally integrated frequency drive for the optimized operation of wastewater pumps
