Global partnership formed between KETOS and Siemens, aiming to enhance water management on a worldwide scale.
In a groundbreaking move, KETOS and Siemens have joined forces to deliver comprehensive water quality management solutions. This collaboration combines KETOS' expertise in real-time water monitoring technology with Siemens' industrial digitalization and automation capabilities.
The partnership aims to address the challenges faced by the industrial and municipal water sectors, providing solutions that optimize water availability while ensuring safety and sustainability. KETOS' mission to make water accessible, affordable, safer, and more sustainable aligns perfectly with Siemens' focus on smart city and industrial digitalization platforms.
At the heart of this partnership is KETOS' SHIELD Technology, which offers smart water sensors and analytics platforms capable of monitoring over 30 parameters such as free chlorine, fluoride, hardness, and metals in near real-time. This replaces manual, periodic sampling with continuous, reagent-free data collection, enhancing regulatory compliance and operational control.
Siemens brings its expertise in Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure and cloud-based data visualization to the table. By integrating KETOS sensor data into actionable dashboards, operators can remotely manage and respond to water quality issues promptly across distributed sites.
The combination of these technologies is expected to reduce operational expenses by lowering manual sampling and improve water treatment processes through automated set-point adjustments, resulting in improved compliance and uptime for industrial facilities and utilities.
Meena Sankaran, CEO of KETOS, highlighted the focus on real-time actionable water quality insights, while Sebastian Guckelberger, global head of portfolio and business development of water and wastewater at Siemens, emphasized the partnership's potential to empower water operators with integrated strategies for better water management and increased sustainability.
Moreover, Siemens Water (SIWA) applications, specifically developed for the water and wastewater industry, can be used to optimize energy efficiency, avoid water loss, improve predictive maintenance measures, and reduce contamination of water bodies.
In a case example, a Fortune-500 chemical manufacturer deployed KETOS SHIELD combined with a networked monitoring system to detect water quality issues in minutes rather than days, significantly strengthening regulatory compliance and reducing costs.
By combining their strengths, KETOS and Siemens are poised to deliver scalable, efficient, and data-driven water quality management solutions that address both compliance and operational challenges in the industrial and municipal water sectors.
- This partnership, leveraging KETOS' real-time water monitoring technology and Siemens' expertise in finance, technology, and industrial digitalization, aims to revolutionize the water industry by delivering scalable, efficient, and data-driven water quality management solutions.
- Siemens' focus on smart city and industrial digitalization platforms, together with its Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure and cloud-based data visualization, will enable operators to monitor and manage water quality issues promptly, enhancing operational control in the industrial and municipal water sectors.
