Accenture Invests in KETOS to Advance Water Intelligence Through Real-Time Monitoring - Seite 2

KETOS founder and CEO Meena Sankaran added, “The quest for clean water is no longer a pipe dream. Stakeholders can use KETOS to easily access water quality data in real-time and turn it into insights-driven decisions that can positively impact efficiency, operations, yield, compliance, treatment and much more. By working with Accenture, we can increase our operations to drive safe and sustainable water production globally.”

Industries leverage KETOS’ technology in pre-and post-water treatment, for monitoring and reporting, providing a fully automated as-a-service “lab in the field.” For instance:

• The agriculture industry is using KETOS to create safer crops, improve grow quality with better nutrient blends and increase water reuse in open fields with ground water and controlled environments.
• The mining industry can reduce compliance violations by using KETOS SHIELD to remotely monitor water quality while also saving on labor hours and managing their brand across their communities.
• With industry standard lab accuracy, manufacturing plants and municipalities use KETOS to automate water quality testing and ensure they are complying in real-time, allowing them to be proactive rather than reactive to potential problems without compromising affordability.

“Public and private sectors benefit from real-time water quality monitoring as a critical component of the world’s water stewardship,” said Jennifer Helle, lead for North America Chemicals and Natural Resources at Accenture. “KETOS’ as-a-service water monitoring capability using real-time analysis can help industrial organizations reduce the cycle time of their water testing and drive a faster path to our collective sustainability goals.”

KETOS is a participant of Unreasonable CHANGE, a strategic collaboration between Accenture and Unreasonable, which aims to support social entrepreneurs profitably addressing key environmental issues facing businesses today. KETOS is the latest in Accenture’s Project Spotlight investments focused on sustainability, which include hyperspectral satellite company Pixxel and pulsESG, Inc. Accenture has also completed five sustainability-focused acquisitions in the last year, which comes in addition to the company’s significant expansion of its global capabilities through investing in its people and recruiting top talent.
