IFAT 2018 | Digitization in Environmental Technologies

Описание: IFAT 2018 I Digitization in Environmental Technologies

Digitization is one of the key topics for IFAT exhibitors – in water management, too.

Dr. Markus Lade, General Manager, Water and Waste Water Industry, Siemens AG
"Digitalization is a very important issue in water management overall, and in terms of municipal energy consumption you have to realize that water management is a key topic, and that the energy savings that Digitalization can bring along with it are naturally a very important goal. "

In this way, a young company presents its "digital ideas" for waste management, in which collection orders are still analogue or done via fax.

Felix Heinricy, Chief Customer Officer, Resourcify GmbH
"A lot of companies are dissatisfied with this because they say: “Okay, now I've digitized everything, but with waste, things are still largely analogue. The digitization and technology that we already have are of course a help here. Like an app, for example - software that makes everything more efficient and cost-effective and also saves time."

Digital vehicle management has immense advantages for the operator. Processes can be constantly optimized and made more efficient.

Matthias Siegel, Managing Director, KOCO solutions AG
"Today, with KOCO, we have all the options for digitization in waste management, and can now begin recording the tour data. We’re driving less and emptying more full containers, which saves on fuel and also leads to far fewer CO2 emissions."

The Competence Center Water Berlin and the Berliner Wasserbetriebe have jointly developed an app that informs swimmers about water quality.

Lukas Weise, Dipl.-Ing. Research and Development, Berliner Wasserbetriebe
"This gives us the opportunity to inform the bathers on the very same day whether the water quality is currently okay, or whether a warning is in place so they have to wait an extra day before swimming.”

In this case, digitization also benefits human health. Plus, it saves time and money.
