It represents the largest solution of its kind implemented by Siemens for the water industry in Europe, and its largest deployment of grid software to date.A sustaintable futureEnergyIP MDM X for Water is part of Siemens Xcelerator, the companys digital business platform, enabling customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale. Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of Grid Software at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, said: Water is a precious resource, and we need to deal with it in the most sustainable way Siemens data platformpossible. EnergyIP MDM X will enable NWG to make the best use of their data to reduce leakage and water consumption across helps Northumbrian Watertheir network. Were supporting the water industry by providing purposeful software technology for greater customer impact and to tackle household leaks sustainability. Gary Adams, Head of Smart Transformation at NWG said: The EnergyIP MDM implementation is a critical cornerstone in our smart metering journey, allowing us to effectively manage the large volumes of metering data we will receive and to drive Siemens Grid Software has secured a newefficient operational activity for both our contract with Northumbrian Water Groupcustomers and our wider business providing and have deployed EnergyIP MDM X, partaccess to granular smart data at the click of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.Being able to rely onof a button.
