Building Confidence in Sewer Network Real-Time Control Systems
The significance of establishing confidence in real-time management systems for sewer infrastructures will be the focal point of an upcoming roundtable discussion at the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit. Chengzi Chew, the chief intrapreneur at Grundfos FutureLab, will steer this conversation and shares his insights in anticipation of the event.
Understanding Stakeholder Trust Issues
The theme for your roundtable is “Addressing Trust Deficiencies: How Can Real-Time Control Systems Be Embraced for Sewer Networks?” What specific trust issues are you highlighting?
This inquiry leads us to examine whose trust needs cultivating. The answer encompasses various levels of stakeholders involved.
First and foremost, regulators must be considered. If automated systems begin to manage these networks, what regulatory assurances could lead them to endorse this operational shift?
Additionally, enhanced control mechanisms can help water utilities regain consumers’ faith. While rebuilding that trust may require effort, demonstrating how real-time controls perform under diverse conditions could yield positive results.
Operators’ Concerns and Technological Impact
Operators play a crucial role within these systems; thus, advancements in technology may alter their responsibilities significantly. It’s natural for them to feel apprehensive about changes impacting their roles. I liken real-time control frameworks for sewer networks to an aircraft’s autopilot—while capable of managing many functions independently, human oversight remains essential.
In the future landscape driven by real-time controls, sewer network management could optimizer operations significantly. Once these technologies prove effective through trials and feedback from practitioners within wastewater facilities can enhance overall efficacy while maintaining necessary operator involvement.
A Glimpse into Sector Readiness for Real-Time Control
The current state shows that companies like Grundfos—with its specialized data analytics division Metasphere—can monitor ongoing situations within urban drainage systems effectively. At World Water-Tech Summit, we’ll dive deeper into leveraging that data effectively post-identification of incidents within networks.
This next step toward increased utilization of real-time control requires collective innovation efforts beyond merely relying on established technologies—a proactive response shaped by insights from water service providers regarding where optimization opportunities lie.
