Project goals
The main goal of the project is to ensure effective wastewater treatment by implementing new knowledge from the field of informatics, advanced technologies and principles of industry 4.0, with the possibility of real-time optimization based on simulations of technological measures in the digital twin of a wastewater treatment plant. Another goal is the integration of a new principle of documentation management using the digital twin, which, thanks to a database system in the object architecture, will enable automation of operational tasks, efficient management of operational data and continuous evaluation of defined performance indicators (KPIs).
