Rockwell Automation (Rockwell) delivers
AI-powered water monitoring technologies, enabling water utilities
to optimize system efficiency, reduce leaks, and meet
sustainability goals through innovative digital solutions.
SAN
ANTONIO, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost &
Sullivan recently researched the smart water monitoring
industry and, based on its findings,
recognizes Rockwell with the 2024 Global Competitive
Strategy Leadership Award. Rockwell is a globally recognized
provider of innovative industrial automation and digital
transformation solutions that modernize water infrastructure by
leveraging advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and
machine learning (ML) to help utilities optimize operations, reduce
inefficiencies, and meet sustainability goals.
Rockwell addresses the critical challenges of
water utilities by offering a comprehensive suite of tools to
enhance operational resilience and productivity. Its intelligent
monitoring and control technologies enable real-time data
collection and analysis, helping utilities detect leaks, predict
system failures, and optimize water distribution. By integrating
IoT and digital twin platforms, Rockwell empowers water companies
to simulate real-world conditions, detect anomalies, and respond
proactively to system issues, driving better water management
outcomes. Rockwell's disruptive solutions, such as Allen‑Bradley
Hardware and FactoryTalk® software, are particularly valuable as
global water companies face increasing pressures from aging
infrastructure, urbanization, and climate change.
Moreover, the company's focus on sustainability
and digital transformation has become a cornerstone of its
strategy, aligning perfectly with the needs of water utilities
striving to meet strict environmental regulations. Rockwell's
solutions contribute to long-term environmental goals, such as
reducing non-revenue water and enhancing the resilience of water
distribution networks.
"The company identified that many water companies
are operating legacy equipment and infrastructure, which can result
in inefficiencies, leaks, and potential failures, as well as a lack
of visibility into the systems. To drive efficiency and better
visibility, Rockwell Automation is modernizing these systems with
intelligent monitoring and control technologies," said Victoria Courtade, industry analyst at Frost
& Sullivan.
Rockwell's focus on predictive maintenance has
become increasingly important as the demand for smarter, more
efficient water systems continues to grow. Its tools analyze data
from sensors across the water distribution network to detect signs
of wear, pressure irregularities, or potential leaks before they
escalate into significant problems. As a result, this
forward-thinking technology enhances the overall reliability of
water systems while helping companies address challenges associated
with aging infrastructure and rapid urbanization.
Furthermore, the company's solutions seamlessly
integrate with existing systems, providing a unified platform where
water utilities can visualize and manage their assets in real time.
This comprehensive approach helps utilities improve operational
efficiency and aligns with broader sustainability goals by reducing
water loss and energy consumption.
"Rockwell Automation's value proposition closes
existing operational gaps. Its integrated and robust portfolio
optimizes decision-making through advanced analytics across various
stakeholders. There is a growing demand for predictive maintenance
solutions in the industry. Hence, the company focuses on delivering
AI-powered tools to anticipate equipment failures and optimize
maintenance schedules," noted Valentina
Barcia, best practices research analyst at Frost &
Sullivan.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this
award to the company that has leveraged competitive intelligence to
successfully execute a strategy that results in stronger market
share, competitive brand positioning, and customer
satisfaction.
"We are honored to receive the 2024 Global
Competitive Strategy Leadership Award from Frost & Sullivan,"
said Emmanuel Guilhamon, vice president, sustainability, Rockwell
Automation. "This important recognition highlights our commitment
to our customers' environmental and water stewardship and to
transforming water infrastructure through cutting-edge industrial
automation and digital transformation offerings. Through our unique
