ABB has introduced AquaMaster+, a cutting-edge digital platform designed to help Indian water utilities monitor networks, prevent pipeline losses, and enhance operational efficiency through real-time data.

  • ABB launched AquaMaster+ for smart water network management in India.
  • The platform helps prevent pipeline water losses and optimizes resource management.
  • Over 2,000 AquaMaster units are already active across 15 Indian cities.

BENGALURU, India: In a significant move toward sustainable resource management, ABB has launched AquaMaster+™, a sophisticated digital platform tailored for smart water network management in India. The platform is specifically engineered to assist water utilities in monitoring, analyzing, and managing complex water networks to prevent significant pipeline losses and optimize overall operations.

The integrated solution combines high-end hardware, advanced software capabilities, and cloud-based decision-making tools. It is designed to be versatile: water companies currently utilizing ABB's AquaMaster4™ flowmeters can upgrade easily, while others can implement it as a standalone software solution that integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures.

A Two-Decade Legacy in India

ABB's presence in the Indian water sector is deeply rooted. The company's AquaMaster electromagnetic flowmeters are celebrating 20 years of service in India. From a single initial installation in Bengaluru, the footprint has expanded to nearly 2,000 units operating across 15 cities in eight states, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Odisha, and Delhi. Notably, Bengaluru alone hosts approximately 500 units, providing the city's utility with high-scale, accurate flow measurement.

"With pressure mounting on water resources globally, AquaMaster+ will enable water sectors to outrun – leaner and cleaner by connecting utilities to crucial flow measurement insights," said Raghu Kumar NV, Global Product Manager at ABB.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that as urbanization accelerates in India, the efficiency of water distribution becomes a critical factor in preventing urban water scarcity. AquaMaster+ addresses this by providing fleet-level insights via GIS mapping and device-level diagnostics. This allows for proactive issue detection rather than reactive repairs.

Furthermore, the platform's ability to perform remote configuration significantly reduces travel costs and improves response times. By utilizing virtual flowmeters, operators can simulate various scenarios and outcomes, enabling data-driven decision-making that minimizes human error and maximizes resource conservation.

Did You Know?: In 2022, the AquaMaster4 Mobile Comms became the world's first electromagnetic flowmeter to feature bidirectional connectivity.
