- Siemens presents SIWA Quality Inspector and SIWA Treatment Optimizer alongside an integrated control center for water, wastewater and waste management at IFAT 2026.
- SIWA Treatment Optimizer uses physics-based models and digital-twin simulation to reduce energy consumption and emissions by up to 25%.
- Soft sensors continuously estimate total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions where physical instruments are unavailable to support compliance.
- Waste-management offerings include TIA automation, Simatic WinCC Unified ResCon load management and the CP1243-1 communications processor with IPv6 and cloud/IoT integration.
Real-time water quality and treatment optimization
SIWA Quality Inspector continuously analyzes quality parameters from treatment to distribution to detect water age, tank mixing and deviations; SIWA Treatment Optimizer employs physics-based models and a digital twin to deliver real-time control recommendations and simulate design scenarios, with energy and emissions reductions of up to 25% reported.
Enhanced sensing and process visibility
Soft sensors estimate variables such as total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions where physical instrumentation is unavailable, supporting compliance and more informed operational decisions under variable influent conditions.
Integrated control and operational analytics
An integrated control center consolidates data across the entire water cycle and diverse subsystems via open interfaces and a scalable architecture to enable data-driven operations, predictive maintenance and improved supply reliability; supporting tools include AI-based leak detection, process modeling and modern energy-management functions, with cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure.
Waste-management automation and connectivity
Portfolio additions for waste operations cover the full lifecycle—collection to energy recovery—backed by TIA automation, Simatic WinCC Unified ResCon for utility load management, and the CP1243-1 communications processor with IPv6, web server diagnostics and cloud/IoT integration for distributed assets.
