How smart water products and solutions evolved and how utilities are effectively using new technologies.

This episode was recorded in partnership with Badger Meter. On this episode, Bob Crossen is joined by Matt Stuyvenberg, Badger Meter vice president of software and water quality, to talk about smart water, flow measurement and water quality. Badger Meter acquired ATI Technologies, s::can and Syrinix to bolster its presence in the water quality and pressure measurement markets, in addition to its flow measurement products. By combining the company’s expertise in flow measurement with these pressure measurement and water quality technologies, Stuyvenberg explains how intelligent measurement and correlated data from those silos can improve decision-making for utilities around the world.
