The Conference
Two Days of Powerful Talks
The Data Journey: From Sensor to Control Room” will provide a comprehensive overview of the process of collecting, analysing, and acting upon sensor data in the water industry. The conference will bring together experts in the field to discuss the latest developments and best practices for utilising sensor data in the water sector.
The water industry is facing old and new challenges in the form of energy reduction, effluent monitoring requirements, leakage, and environmental impact, among others. Sensors and data play a key role in helping water industry professionals to address these challenges. This conference will follow “The Data Journey” from novel sensing and advanced communications to cutting-edge analytics that can transform the way water control rooms make decisions and manage infrastructure and processes.
Sensing in Water 2023 will feature a lineup of highly qualified industry experts as speakers. Gain valuable insights from these esteemed professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
