KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global solutions provider for advanced water and wastewater treatment, has established its digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technology business into a wholly owned independent subsidiary, named Turing.

Named after AI pioneer Alan Turing, this new entity aims to drive substantial cost savings and sustainability outcomes across the entire water value chain, according to Gradiant in a statement.

The launch of Turing underlines a market shift towards AI-driven solutions in the water industry and Gradiant's commitment to accelerating this transition.

“Both Gradiant and Turing will have the power to grow by managing their resources separately to develop and deploy leading-edge technologies into their respective markets.

“With this move, we are further uniquely positioned to meet the dynamic needs of our customers,” said Gradiant Chief Executive Officer, Anurag Bajpayee.

Turing will concentrate on utilising its AI-powered platform, which includes SmartOps for treatment plants and HydroEye for distribution networks, to deliver transformative value and improved operational efficiency for clients.

Turing's platform has already achieved significant adoption by customers which include Fortune 100 companies and large public utilities, by delivering solutions to Aqualia, BHP, ENGIE, PUB Singapore, Rio Tinto, Severn Trent, Detectronic and Xylem.

It helped PUB Singapore remotely monitor its wastewater network; created savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars at an ENGIE plant in the Middle East; and resulted in more than 10 per cent energy savings for a seawater desalination project in Australia.

This announcement follows recent news related to Gradiant’s digital technology business of the strategic partnerships of Synauta for proprietary machine learning AI algorithms and SpaceAge Labs for expertise in water distribution networks and assets.
