Dear my connections,
I would like to learn more about how to make digitalization in water and wastewater treatment industry. What knowledge should I learn, any good courses or materials? Thank you!
Digitalization in the Water Industry
This article aims to break down a range of preconceptions about digitalization of water industry.
Within the water industry, there is a misconception that digitalization is complicated and expensive to implement within water systems.

In the United States alone, municipal wastewater treatment plants are estimated to consume more than 30 terawatt hours of electricity per year, which equates to approximately $2 billion in annual electrical costs.
Even with these seemingly overwhelming challenges, it is becoming increasingly clear that digital transformation in water treatment and delivery operations can begin to help reduce energy consumption and waste and ensure sustainability higher.
The water sustainability strategy relies on an infrastructure that enables data transparency. Sustainability starts with the ability to extract performance data from the physical infrastructure that supports core operations. In the water and wastewater sector, this means transparency of water treatment and distribution networks, as well as traceability of water-related assets as they pass through municipal systems. To achieve transparency, basic equipment such as motors, drives and pumps must integrate sensors to collect the necessary data. Then, cloud-based software tools can connect to the various silos of data from different sources and consolidate and combine that data with existing data.
As data is shared between organizations, trust issues can be addressed by integrating tools that provide only the necessary, non-confidential data elements required to make accurate decisions in a secure and protected environment. Once access to meaningful data is gained, machine learning solutions can be deployed to extract trends from this large data set. Thus, faster and more sustainable decisions can be made about water resources as they go through the processes of recycling, purification, transportation and ultimately consumption.
The greatest potential for achieving sustainability goals lies in training intelligent algorithms, or artificial intelligence (AI), to make real-time sustainability decisions, integrating the many data points that no human could treat sufficiently.

Digitalization has the potential to change the water industry for the better. It offers the potential to eliminate guesswork from the water treatment process. Improved connectivity via digital technology makes data more accessible, allowing users to monitor processes remotely and in real-time effectively.
The following Key Areas in Digital Transformation, According to Microsoft
1. Empowering employees. As change managers know, employee motivation and skills are critical for organizational transformations – including digital transformations – to succeed.
2. Engaging customers. ...
3. Optimize operations. ...
4. Services and products.
Types of Digitization: Programmatic, On Demand, Forensic
1. Generally, digitization falls into three categories:
2. The practical requirement to provide On Demand Digitization is obvious to anyone who has run a digitization program. ...
3. “Before we adopted the BC100 we were capturing around 10 plates per hour.
