Take a holistic view of your aggregate operation

Xylem’s Jessy Parmar says technology can provide strategic advantages

As aggregate producers face growing pressure to cut operating costs, and with reduced staff due to physical distancing, Xylem’s remote monitoring and control technologies are enabling customers to stay on top of their water management processes.

At Xylem, we believe that optimal water management begins with a holistic view of how a mining operation uses water. As every mine has a different set of operating conditions, custom solutions drive better results. Therefore, we work with customers to increase productivity, leveraging our smart capabilities that can act as stand-alone systems or be embedded into the mine’s current system. 

On a recent project, our team successfully paired various technologies from Xylem’s product offering, including vertical turbines, custom barge and catwalk, and variable frequency drives to provide the custom solution the customer needed. This holistic approach can and is driving step change, helping customers turn mining water management from an expense to a strategic advantage.
