YDigital Water | MIWC 2021 Virtual Conference

 

MIWC 2021 @ 20 – 24 September 2021

In 2019, the 1st edition of MIWC attracted high-level executives from Government, Regulators, Water Operators, Municipalities, Industry, and technology companies, the event gives you the opportunity to connect with decision-makers and project owners. 

This year, the global crisis has reinforced the importance of access to safe and reliable water in our fight against COVID-19. It has brought attention to the need for government entities and water systems to consider water reforms under the “new norm” to remain resilient.  

To remain resilient & sustainable, water utilities can adopt a digitalization approach thru Unified Operation Centre (UOC), an integrated operational system with an Industry 4.0 based paradigm; pilot artificial intelligence toward the prognosis of unaccounted-for-water and use cloud & AI to empower connected workers in this new norm. 

Join the conference and tech session with our experts:

  • Powering Digital Transformation in Water with Edge Computing”  – Foong Lin Hoe, Stratus Technologies in South Asia and ASEAN Emerging Countries
  • “The First Step for Improving Cybersecurity towards Water Sector Resiliency  –Felicia Phoon, CTI Resources Sdn Bhd
  • “Digital Transformation for Sustainability & Resilience in Water Utilities via Unified Operation Centre”Shanmugavel Subramaniam, Schneider Electric Asia Strategic Customers & Segment, Singapore
  • “AI Driven in Water Management” Chai Kim Chen, Director, CTI Resources Sdn Bhd
  • “Empowering Connected Worker with Cloud and Artificial Intelligence” – Fakhri Nordin, Principal Consultant, AVEVA, Malaysia

MEET THE SPEAKERS

TECH SESSION 

Topic: Powering Digital Transformation in Water with Edge Computing  

Speaker: Foong Lin Hoe, Stratus Technologies in South Asia and ASEAN Emerging Countries.

𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: The First Step for Improving Cybersecurity towards Water Sector Resiliency 

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Felicia Phoon, Cyber Security Engineer, YNY Technology Sdn Bhd

#Digitaltransformation accelerates the necessity for machines, systems, and subsections to become increasingly networked. At the same time, #waterutilities are faced with challenges from the rapidly changing #cyberthreats and strategies on automation systems.  

Without a good and strong foundation, a building will not be reliable to keep the occupants of the building safe. Improper design of the system and the successful #cyberattacks can cause unplanned downtime which affects operation efficiency, not to mention the increment of costs to restore the systems or water environment back to the normal state.

𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: Digital Transformation for Sustainability & Resilience in Water Utilities via Unified Operation Centre 

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Shanmugavel Subramaniam, Schneider Electric Asia Strategic Customers & Segment, Singapore 

𝐃𝐚𝐲: Tuesday (21 September 2021) 

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 11:00 – 11:30 

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥: 1 

To remain resilience & sustainable, local utilities can adopt a digitalization approach thru Unified Operation Centre (UOC), an integrated operational system with Industry 4.0 based paradigm; digital twin for simulation, prediction & forecasting.  

UOC enables efficiency to boost collaboration & performance while achieving corporate management goals. This system of systems connects OT & IT, integrating data from different sources & connecting critical equipment & infrastructure improving efficiency & sustainability. While saving both CAPEX & OPEX through improved asset management, increasing effectiveness of business decision making, operations & the related processes, the solution is scalable & future-proof that can integrate seamlessly into existing & future systems, giving return on investment & financial sustainability as well.

Mr. Chai from CTI Resources will be sharing with you some of the most extended applications of big data analytics and artificial intelligence-related algorithms in the water supply.  

You will get to know how water utilities can pilot artificial intelligence toward the prognosis of unaccounted-for-water and present recommendations for implementation and preliminary cost estimates. 

With over 25 years of experience in industrial & process automation solutions. He has implemented water supply command centres, water network management & end-to-end digital enablement roadmap for multiple water utility companies.

Artificial Intelligence has become a lot more important, simply because there is a shift in the capability of workforces as a previous generation of workforce has started moving on and that expertise within organizations has started to exit. And that’s possibly been exacerbated by the current environment driven by Covid-19. 

In this innovative conference, it is exclusively to have Mr. Fakhri, AVEVA Malaysia with more than 15 years of experience in APM & Performance Intelligence to share in-depth about how the current situation and normal is shaping the technology; and how innovated technology is enabled by Cloud & Artificial Intelligence empowering the connected worker especially in Water Innovations segment.
