Meeting diverse challenges with water technology
On this page:
Water moves the world – but, above all, most of all our cities, energy supply, agriculture, healthcare, and digital and AI infrastructure. Wherever water is needed, moved, used or treated, many different demands intersect. At the same time, the framework conditions are constantly shifting, for example due to new technologies, growing cities, the energy transition and changes to climate conditions.
Using our water technology, we devise responses to meet a wide range of requirements. In doing so, we combine technical expertise with the capabilities of digitalisation and AI to create solutions that can be adapted to different applications and operating conditions. Creating encompasses the impact areas in which Wilo’s technology is used.
With water technology that we consistently develop to be safer and increasingly AI-embedded, we contribute to:
Shaping urban living spaces
Wherever people live, work and meet, there is a need for infrastructure that functions reliably. Buildings, residential areas and public amenities rely on a dependable supply of water and energy. At the same time, there is a growing need to operate these systems efficiently and to tailor their operation more closely to real-world requirements.
Our solutions are deployed in buildings and public infrastructure. By combining water technology, digital applications and operational data, we can analyse operating conditions and control systems more precisely.
Securing energy intrastructure
The way in which energy is generated and supplied is changing. Alongside the modernisation of existing facilities, renewable energy sources are becoming more and more important. This also means that the technical requirements for the systems that generate, transmit and harness energy are changing.
Our water technology is used in various areas of the energy supply sector. For example, it supports applications in hydropower stations and can contribute to improving existing technologies or replacing them with new solutions. Digital features create additional opportunities for the data-driven analysis and control of systems and processes.
Facilitating access to clean water
Clean water and reliable water infrastructure are of vital importance to cities, towns and their residents. To ensure water gets to where it is needed, complex systems must work together reliably – from extraction and treatment through to distribution.
Our solutions support a range of processes across water infrastructure. They are used, among other things, in water management and water treatment. By recording and analysing operating data digitally, water losses can be identified and processes can be managed more effectively.

Strengthening healthcare
Reliable and secure infrastructure is essential to the healthcare sector. Hospitals, care homes and other healthcare facilities require functioning systems for the supply and use of water, which are subject to particularly stringent requirements regarding hygiene and operational reliability.
Our water technology is used in this infrastructure and helps run water systems. This includes, for instance, solutions that are designed to reduce the hygiene risks posed by drinking water and thus meet the requirements of sensitive facilities.
Enabling the Digital & AI Age
Digital applications and artificial intelligence are transforming the way we work, communicate and use technology. These applications rely on a growing digital infrastructure, which must be run and cooled reliably. This is particularly evident in data centres, where performance depends on high-performing technical infrastructure.
One example is data centre cooling systems, where reliable and demand-driven cooling is a key prerequisite for the operation of digital infrastructure. Our water technology is used here and helps keep data centres running.
