Strengthening healthcare
On this page:
With water technology that we consistently develop to be safer and increasingly AI-embedded, we contribute to strengthen healthcare.
We support the operation of critical infrastructure in the healthcare sector, for example through solutions designed to reduce hygiene risks posed by drinking water.
Hospitals, clinics and care homes are among the most sensitive environments in our society. Medical care must function effectively at all times. This requires not only medical staff and modern equipment but also reliable technical infrastructure.
Water, heating, cooling and electricity are vital to many processes within a healthcare facility. At the same time, particularly high standards of operational reliability and hygiene apply. Our water technology is used in various areas of this infrastructure, helping operate systems and provide transparency regarding relevant operating conditions.
Combining water technology, digitalisation and artificial intelligence opens up further opportunities for more effective monitoring of technical systems, early detection of changes and the adaptation of operating processes to meet relevant requirements.
Operational reliability where failures are not an option
Reliable water infrastructure for sensitive facilities
In healthcare facilities, technical faults can have an immediate impact on operations. Operating theatres, intensive care units, laboratories and other sensitive areas rely on a continuous supply of water and functioning technical systems.
Smart water and system solutions help keep this infrastructure running. Digital monitoring provides transparency on operating conditions, allowing relevant parameters to be continuously recorded. Data-driven analyses can help highlight anomalies and enable targeted reviews of operational processes.
Case study: Sakarya City Hospital, Türkiye
Sakarya City Hospital is one of the largest, most modern healthcare facilities in Türkiye. A total of 93 Wilo systems are in operation there, supporting the water supply and other water-based applications within the hospital complex.
The solutions are designed to supply water to the different areas of the building and to remove wastewater. Intelligent control and monitoring systems provide greater transparency regarding system operation.
Monitoring hygiene and drinking water quality
Water technology where specific hygiene requirements apply
A reliable supply of drinking water is of particular importance in healthcare facilities. At the same time, long supply lines, a multitude of usage patterns and fluctuating temperatures can place greater demands on the operation of drinking water systems.
Digital solutions can continuously record various parameters to monitor hygiene-related operating conditions. This gives operators a better overview of the condition and usage of their systems, enabling them to respond effectively should any anomalies arise. Water technology, combined with digital monitoring, thus provides a basis for operating drinking water installations in line with their respective requirements.
Smart systems for hygiene requirements
Using data to understand operating conditions better
Artificial intelligence and digital analysis methods are opening up new possibilities for managing complex water systems in buildings. Temperature trends, operating data and usage patterns can be analysed and correlated.
This means that changes and anomalies can be detected at an earlier stage. Operators receive additional information to help them assess operating conditions and take appropriate action.
Case study: Wilo-SiFresh
With Wilo-SiFresh, Wilo offers a solution for hygienic drinking water installations. The system supports drinking water circulation, thereby reducing the conditions under which stagnation can occur.
Relevant operating data can be monitored digitally, providing greater transparency on system operations. This allows operators to gain more insights into how the drinking water system operates and make adjustments to meet relevant requirements.
Efficient operation creates scope for action
Operating water and energy systems effectively
Healthcare facilities face the challenge of balancing high standards for supply of heating, cooling and power as well as hygiene standards with the efficient operation of their technical infrastructure. Digital tools and intelligent system solutions can help make operational processes more transparent and improve the efficiency of water and energy use.
The continuous collection of operating data provides the basis for a differentiated analysis of system conditions and consumption patterns. This allows operators to identify opportunities for optimisation and adjust the operation of technical systems to meet different requirements.
Water technology for sensitive infrastructure
Digitalisation and AI open up new possibilities
Healthcare facilities integrate technical systems that need to function reliably and in a coordinated manner. Water technology forms part of this infrastructure – from the supply and distribution of water to the operation of sensitive drinking water systems.
By interlinking water technology, digitalisation and artificial intelligence, more opportunities are created to collect operating data, make technical systems more transparent and detect changes.
