Smart Utility

Enabling utilities with the tools for connectivity, flexibility, digitalization, and empowerment to optimize operations and customer service

Due to budget constraints and a shrinking workforce, today’s water utilities need to streamline their systems to collect and understand operational data to help them make informed decisions around planning for capital investments, improving customer service, and reducing operators’ training requirements. Brown and Caldwell’s unique approach to smart utility implementation is designed specifically for our water clients and based on proven results.
Our approach, developed and implemented by industry-leading experts, goes beyond basic data-driven decision making to enable a new utility paradigm in which utilities are proactively managed to reach optimal operational efficiency. The approach is flexible, so it can be applied to utilities of any size. The services and solutions build upon one another, at a pace that matches organizational readiness and resources, providing higher returns at each succeeding step. Ultimately this empowers our clients’ operators and managers with a powerful set of tools and associated processes, user-friendly interfaces, improved data quality, and Artificial Intelligence-enhanced analytics to achieve unprecedented utility performance.

The water industry standard for planning and implementing Digital Twins

As utilities continue to seek ways to reduce operation costs, train new generations of operators, quickly respond to seasonal or climate-driven changes, what-if scenario simulations for safer implementation, and make the most of their investments, Digital Twin is advancing utility preparedness. The Digital Twin Readiness Guide provides the framework, steps, and path to achieve essential insights leading to more intuitive water systems operations, making the utility more efficient. The guide was led by Brown and Caldwell, DHI, the SWAN Forum, and with contributions from a diverse group of global utilities, solution providers, academia, and thought leaders.

“There is nothing more rewarding than creating breakthroughs with our clients by leveraging a smart utility approach. Helping integrate technology isn’t just about implementing new technology for technology sake, it is about harnessing technology in a sustainable way so that it is aligned to current and future demands.”
