麻薩諸塞州波士頓 – 2022 年 5 月 17 日 – 全球清潔技術水解決方案提供商和開發商 Gradiant 今天宣布收購加拿大人工智慧 (AI) 水技術公司 Synauta, to accelerate the use of digital twin technology in water. The use of digital twins in industrial water treatment and desalination and water reuse has been pioneered by Gradiant. The acquisition strengthens Gradiant’s position as a technology leader in end-to-end water solutions and accelerates deployment of digital twin technologies to build a digitized water future.   “Digital water is the fastest-growing area in the global water industry and this acquisition brings together the very latest technologies,” said Prakash Govindan, COO of Gradiant. “The application of digital twins in water will grow even more rapidly as we further leverage 5G communications, industrial automation, and predictive analytics. Combined with Synauta’s AI data models, industrial water treatment just got smarter, cleaner, and significantly more efficient.”   Spun out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gradiant is an end-to-end water solutions provider offering design, operations, and asset optimization integrated on to a single digital platform for clients that include Micron, Glaxo Smith Kline, Pfizer, Rio Tinto, and Coca-Cola. An estimated $1.5 trillion per year is required to address global water infrastructure, and digital solutions play a major role. Recent market research forecasts annual capital expenditures for digital water to reach $10 billion by 2030, with investments in artificial intelligence technologies to account for $6.3 billion. Industrial and municipal customers are increasingly adopting AI platforms for their water and wastewater operations to address challenges from sustainability and cost pressures, business continuity, regulatory compliance, and climate events.   Synauta’s proprietary machine learning AI algorithms are deployed in municipal and industrial desalination facilities around the world. Synauta’s technologies reduce operating costs by determining optimal operating conditions and maintenance programs based on real-time process data and are trusted by leading clients such as Singapore’s PUB, Veolia, Aqualia, Engie, and GHD.   “Joining Gradiant gives Synauta the ability to scale the use of data and AI in industrial deployments with global clients. This acquisition creates a digital powerhouse for the water industry that will bring the goal of industrial water sustainability closer to realization,” said Mike Dixon, CEO of Synauta.   The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022.   關於 Gradiant 戈潤是一家全球解決方案提供商和先進水和廢水處理清潔技術水專案開發商。戈潤的端到端解決方案和技術專長能夠以可持續且經濟高效的方式解決世界上最重要的水挑戰。戈潤擁有一整套差異化專有技術，並由水務領域頂尖人才提供支持，為客戶在全球重要產業的關鍵任務營運提供服務。戈潤成立於麻省理工學院 (MIT)，致力於創建和部署永續水處理解決方案，並具有獨特的優勢來應對工業化、人口增長和水資源壓力給世界帶來的日益嚴峻的挑戰。如今，戈潤擁有 400 多名員工，全球總部位於波士頓，地區總部和全球研發創新實驗室位於新加坡，並在十個國家設有辦事處。欲了解更多信息，請訪問 gradiant.com。   關於三得達 Synauta 結合了對海水淡化和機器學習人工智慧的深刻理解，以更少的能源和化學品處理更多的水，從而降低客戶的營運成本。該公司的專有演算法確定了世界各地領先組織的水設施的最佳運作條件和維護計劃。更多資訊請造訪 synauta.com。   聯絡方式 Felix Wang Gradiant, VP of Marketing [email protected]
