6 Smart cities need smart utilities
Digitalization enables water companies to manage their assets more efficiently and integrate their plants and networks with other municipal services to create a smart city that uses resources optimally to improve residents’ wellbeing.
ABB solutions help water companies become smart – through digitalization, advanced SCADA and distributed control systems, measurement and analytics, communication systems, energy efficiency, pump optimization, leak detection and event management, and predictive maintenance.
For instance, in the city of Västerås, Sweden, we are developing smart city solutions with multi-utility Mälarenergi to optimize its water, wastewater, power and district heating networks, reduce energy use and non-revenue water, and create new consumer apps and services to enhance the wellbeing of the city’s residents and the success of its businesses.

7 Advanced optimization
ABB advanced digital services include a suite of optimization solutions to increase productivity and production flexibility, enable predictive maintenance and improve availability, and optimize set-points, schedules and asset life cycles. These widely proven and industry renowned services include:
OPTIMAX® Membrane Performance
Monitors and predicts reverse osmosis membrane fouling status, determines when cleaning/flushing is required and tunes parameters to maximize production, reduce operating and maintenance costs and extend membrane life.
TaKaDu Water Infrastructure Monitoring
In collaboration with our partner, TaKaDu, our software-as-a-service solution uses advanced algorithms to detect, alert, manage and provide real-time insights into leaks, bursts and other water network inefficiencies.
Water transfer leakage detection
Detects leaks to within 3 percent of the source in pipeline segments, which can be hundreds of km in length, thereby minimizing loss, simplifying maintenance and reducing operating and service costs.
PumpFit pump group control
Optimizes the number of running pumps within a pump group to minimize power consumption and release operators from manual operation.
PEMS pump efficiency monitoring system
Provides real-time information on mechanical pump efficiency – independent of pump operating point, flow, succession and delivery pressure – to give insight into the health of the pumps or pumping stations.
