Xylem Vue
Xylem Vue is a company that is part of the pulse of the water sector. Here we bring together everything it publishes on Smart Water Magazine: its news, its blogs and the events it takes part in.
Human-AI integration is redefining digital water management operations
Agentic AI architectures operate as autonomous coordinators that interact with business systems. They also enable operator-driven customization and define which critical decisions require human validation, according to Xylem Vue. They facilitate gradual adoption, starting with advisory systems and increasing automation as trust and organizational maturity grow. They enable operators to express their needs in natural language, as the large language models (LLMs) underlying them are trained to understand and generate human language, unlike traditional software systems.
Real-time eyes on the sewer: from inference to continuous evidence
Until recently, what flowed through a city’s sewer network was largely a matter of inference. Manual grab samples, taken at a handful of control points and rarely more than once a year, gave utilities a thin slice of the picture and almost no chance of catching the kind of intermittent industrial discharge that quietly disrupts […]
Xylem Vue: How digital transformation is making Europe’s water sector more proactive
Smart water meters are becoming strategic assets, highlighting the value of data as a tool for better decision-making, smoother operations and more efficient management of water resources.
High-frequency simulations and real-time forecast analysis: Key to modern flood management
New early warning systems must be based on three key elements: the ability to simulate, predict, and analyze in real time; coordination between agencies and operators; and public education, risk awareness, and trust in the warning system, according to Xylem Vue.
Early warning systems must evolve into tools that anticipate flooding and protect lives
According to a report by Xylem Vue, these systems must be integrated as operational platforms within water management frameworks, automatically linked to the activation of emergency plans, municipal protocols, and interagency decision-making processes. Floods do not cause severe damage due to a lack of data. They cause it because there is not enough actionable time to make decisions and respond.
Generative artificial intelligence, a strategic asset for water utilities
Generative AI (GenAI) is emerging as a catalyst capable of transforming asset management, decision-making, and customer engagement. Business resilience, regulatory performance and reliability, financial viability, stakeholder understanding and support, community sustainability, and talent development: six key challenges identified by Xylem Vue.
Five digital solutions shaping the path towards global water digitalization
These five solutions are generative AI, agent-based architectures, cybersecurity, early warning systems, and public-private partnerships to boost operational efficiency, according to the latest Xylem Vue report, which identifies the key strategies shaping water management in 2026.
Geospatial information is redefining water management and digital infrastructure at a global scale
In a world where river basins are under increasing strain, weather patterns are becoming less predictable, and digital infrastructures are expanding at an unprecedented pace, territory, climate and water demand can now be understood as a living, dynamic and modelable system.
From data to action: How to transform water resource information into immediate decisions
Operational intelligence in water management enables the creation of an efficient digital model and supports response to extreme climate events. Xylem Vue identifies four global trends: advanced centralization and monitoring; customized decision-making; predictive maintenance and algorithmic optimization; and seamless integration with external technologies.
