Founded in Australia and now headquartered in North America,
OPTIMATICS has been growing rapidly by commercializing its
OPTIMIZER™ digital technology. This technology is able to identify
the most efficient scenario optimizing the design of water and
sewer networks. By integrating this technology, SUEZ will broaden
its digital offer for efficient and resilient infrastructures to
support its client’s needs.
OPTIMISING WATER INFRASTRUCTURES: A CRITICAL KEY
ISSUE
Driven by urban population growth and ageing water and sewer
infrastructures, the extension and renewal of networks represent
major investments for local authorities. Networks must be regularly
maintained, replaced and managed in order to guarantee the
operational and economic performances of infrastructures and
associated services.
OPTIMATICS has developed OPTIMIZER™, a digital solution
generating the most effective combination of hydraulic equipment
(reservoirs, pumps, pipes, etc.) balanced between investment cost
and infrastructure efficiency (flow, pressure, energy consumption).
The OPTIMIZER™ solution has been successfully commercialized as a
stand-alone software since 2014, with already more than 50
implementations that supply over 75 million inhabitants: in
Australia (Adelaide), the United States (Washington DC, Houston,
Los Angeles, Denver…) and in France through a partnership concluded
with SUEZ Consulting (Marseilles). The savings on infrastructure
investments may exceed 20%.
SUEZ ACCELERATES THE DEPLOYMENT OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS TO
IMPROVE NETWORKS PERFORMANCE
“We are proud to strengthen our partnership with OPTIMATICS and
to support the development of this young digital innovative
company, which has developed efficient solutions that provide a
rupture method compared to existing approaches. We are thus
complementing the AQUADVANCED®1 offer, the Group’s range of digital
solutions dedicated to water services performance. We now have a
unique offer to support our clients in optimising their hydraulic
infrastructures, from designing a network to operating it
throughout its lifetime. This partnership will speed up the
deployment of these solutions on all our markets where resilient
and efficient networks are a key element of development” has
declared Loïc Voisin, Director of Innovation, Marketing and
Industrial Performance of SUEZ Group.
“OPTIMATICS is excited about this strengthened partnership with
a world leader in water management. Combining OPTIMATICS’
Optimizer™ software with the highly skilled engineers of SUEZ

often unnecessary, capital and operational expenditures.
Integrating Optimizer™ in SUEZ’s digital offer will accelerate our
growth in the coming years.” has declared Corey Williams, President
and CEO of Optimatics.
