How can the water industry benefit from IoT Edge and AI? IoT is one of the technologies that has made a strong entry into the water industry, developing solutions rich in monitoring, analytical, and automation features. Meanwhile, Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its mark on the water industry, powering intelligent operations using machine learning to optimize resource use and operational budgets for organizations.

In IoT deployments, it is common to hear the term Edge. Many IoT solution vendors, especially in the industrial environment, acknowledge the capabilities of the Edge to generate business value. But what is IoT Edge and what is its relationship with Edge Computing?

Industrial servitization is a hot topic right now as new technologies emerge that harness real-time data. In an increasingly competitive market servitization is the way to open new business lines, improve customer loyalty and, in addition, comply with sustainability goals. Manufacturers can now make a profit from services by making their products last longer and avoid waste as much as possible. They can also recycle parts of broken products for reuse or recycle an integral part of these services.

At Barbara, we believe that industry transformation can not be accomplished by a single company. Our view is of a Community of AI developers, hardware manufacturers, industrial system integrators and other technology partners, that join forces with us to make the most of our technology so that we can altogether respond with a comprehensive solutions to the most complex problems.

When we talk about "water sustainability", experts use some fundamental indicators. For us, the most important is the resilience of their infrastructures, i.e. how prepared they are for adverse situations, and the efficiency of their processes, measured as the number of resources to be invested in meeting a specific demand. AI plays a fundamental role in these processes.

In this post we reveal everything you need to know about Smart Grids, the intelligent electricity distribution networks that efficiently integrate the behavior and actions of all users connected to it.
