Global Sensor Manufacturers Network
Raising awareness of the benefits of sensor applications, such as cost reduction, process optimisation and improved sustainability (reduced carbon footprint) through activities/tools/services for end users (water companies, water boards, water laboratories, industrial water users, wastewater treatment plants, etc.):
Sensipedia: independent decision aid for sensor selection;
Resources / Technology Insider: the latest news on sensors, water monitoring and data analytics.
Training for water professionals to increase their theoretical and practical knowledge of sensors.
Webinars and workshops for sharing sensor implementation success stories.
Promote by developing tools that facilitate the purchase and implementation of sensors in the water sector:
Wat-IF: Water Impact Forecast tool for defining a business case for sensors in (domestic) wastewater treatment plants (to be extended later to drinking water - and/or industrial applications).
Tools for engineering firms to make it easier to include sensors in specifications and technical drawings for water-related structures.
Tools for streamlining procurement procedures for sensors in the public sector.
Independent testing/verification of sensor performance claims.
Collection of sector-wide information on monitoring needs and barriers to sensor implementation through independent international surveys of end-users.
Contribute to workable standards (NEN/CEN) for water quality sensors, such as ISO 15839.
Highlighting the interests of sensor suppliers in discussions at the European level on Materials in Contact with Drinking Water, for example by joining the European Drinking Water (EDW) initiative.
Pilot Accelerator Programme to speed up the uptake of sensor technologies in the water industry through the direct involvement of test sites, multiple end users and investors in targeted pilot testing projects.
The package is designed for technology suppliers to familiarise end-users with the latest sensor (-related) technologies! Click the button for more information.
