ST Engineering has announced the deployment of its smart water platform for Aegea, a major private sanitation company in Brazil serving over 500 municipalities. Slated for operational launch by the end of 2024, this platform will digitally integrate Aegea's water metering systems, enhancing operational efficiency, enabling data-driven optimization, and reducing non-revenue water losses.
Powered by a cloud-based meter data management system, the platform will securely collect, store, and manage data from various water meters across Aegea's service areas. This smart, water meter-agnostic system will facilitate comprehensive, automated monitoring and control across Aegea’s entire water infrastructure. By providing real-time alerts, trend analyses, and optimization insights, the platform is expected to deliver new efficiencies in Aegea’s water management.
“Our partnership with Aegea comes at a crucial time as water demands increase, driven by rapid urbanisation, dwindling water resources and climate change. The smart water platform will transform Aegea’s water management operations, delivering critical insights that will help optimise water management, and significantly aggregate water savings across its concessions. This collaboration plays a vital role in addressing Brazil’s urgent need for better water management to strengthen water resilience. It also underscores our commitment to leverage technology to enable sustainable urban living and improve quality of life,” said Gareth Tang, Head, Smart Utilities and Infrastructure, Urban Solutions at ST Engineering.
Eduardo Mendes, Technology Executive Officer at Aegea, added, “The partnership with ST Engineering is in line with Aegea’s commitment to consistently seek out the best and most advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and performance, with a focus on improving the quality of services we provide to over 31 million people across more than 500 municipalities in Brazil. All these efforts contribute to our ongoing progress towards achieving universal access to sanitation in Brazil, providing health and dignity to the population.”
This initiative expands ST Engineering’s portfolio, adding to its experience in implementing over 800 smart city projects in more than 150 cities globally.
