On Earth Day, join Digi and XiO Water Systems to explore how water and wastewater utilities can dramatically reduce both energy consumption and water waste through intelligent, IoT-driven optimization.

For many utilities, the largest operating expense isn’t the water itself; it’s the electricity required to pump, store, and distribute it. By replacing outdated, siloed SCADA systems with a cloud-native platform powered by secure Digi industrial connectivity, utilities gain real-time visibility into tank levels, pumping activity, system performance, and energy usage. This visibility enables smarter pumping decisions that avoid peak demand charges and align operations with lower-cost and renewable energy windows.

In this 1-hour webinar, attendees will learn more about how utilities using XiO’s Acuity Hub with Digi routers have reduced electrical usage by up to 20%, cut annual energy costs by tens of thousands of dollars, detected leaks faster, improved compliance, and strengthened operational resilience. Other takeaways:

• How real-time IoT visibility helps utilities reduce peak energy consumption and lower carbon impact
• How modern cloud-native platforms improve leak detection and reduce water loss
• How secure industrial cellular connectivity enables remote monitoring and operational resilience
