Schneider Launches Advanced Software Application for Improved Water Distribution Network
The French company showcased its 30 years of development by launching Aquis
7.0, an advanced software application for water distribution network
management.
France: Schneider
Electric, the leading player in energy management and automation, has launched an
advanced software application, Aquis 7.0 which would aid improvement in already
existing water distribution network management. The company’s new software
reduces the operation and energy costs associated with water distribution
activities, thereby improving control of water distribution networks. This
software helps operators to avoid the unplanned events impacting their water
distribution network by providing them with information about the predicted
behaviour of their water networks. The improvements introduced in Aquis 7.0
helps customers to reduce operational and management risk, by allowing them to
access the forecast network behavior, thereby improving the efficiency by 25
percent. The specific improvements introduced in Aquis 7.0 include faster operator
communications for improved collaboration, fast and enhanced hydraulic engine
management, improved display of control mode of pumps and valves and enhanced
functionality.
TechSci Research depicts that with the launch of this advanced software application,
Schneider is projected to establish a strong hold in the water management
systems market on account of shifting trend towards energy efficient water
systems. This innovation would further aid the growing water pumps industry
globally.
According
to the recently published report by TechSci
Research,
“Global Water Pumps Market Forecast and Opportunities,
2020”, the global water pumps market is expected to
surpass USD54 billion by 2020. Centrifugal pumps is the dominant segment in the
market, while positive displacement pumps is the fastest growing segment. Water
and wastewater treatment (W&WWT) industry is the largest end user of water
pumps and is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next five
years. Other application industries for water pumps include power, chemicals,
and oil & gas industries, among others. Rapid industrialization, increasing
urbanization, and rise in water & wastewater treatment service tariffs are
also expected to drive growth in global water pumps market through 2020.
