Evolving Water Infrastructure: From Maintenance to Intelligence

Infrastructure
Digital twin
Traditional water infrastructure maintenance is reactive, costly, and inefficient. Xylem, a leader in water technology, partnered with Savantic to introduce intelligent pump stations and digital twins. Through real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, this solution is revolutionizing water management—cutting costs, optimizing operations, and shaping the future of smart infrastructure.

Challenge

Moving Beyond Reactive Maintenance

In cities across the globe, water infrastructure operates behind the scenes, keeping society flowing. However, traditional maintenance approaches—routine site visits, reactive repairs—are costly and inefficient. Xylem, a leading global water technology provider, recognized the need for a smarter, data-driven approach to optimize water flow and reduce costs.

Solution

Intelligent Pump Stations and Digital Twins

Savantic’s expertise in data analytics and system modeling helped Xylem reimagine water management with:

  • Cameras in pump stations to monitor fat buildup and enable predictive cleaning.
  • Advanced signal analysis to identify pump issues before failures occur.
  • A localized digital twin to optimize operations and visualize wastewater flow.

Result

From Proof-of-Concept to Transformation

The collaboration marked a pivotal shift for Xylem, moving from traditional pump supply to a comprehensive service model focused on water flow optimization. The insights inspired the ZAMP Watcher product, reduced operational costs by automating maintenance, and set a foundation for broader system-wide efficiency. The project proved how digital innovation could elevate water management to new heights.

This isn’t just about pumps—it’s about foresight, embracing forward-thinking solutions and utilizing digital innovation to transform water infrastructure. By turning challenges into opportunities, Xylem is not only maintaining water systems; they’re enhancing how cities manage this critical resource.
