Abstract

Most industrial plants in Poland are still on the eve of implementing the vision of ‘Industry 4.0’ (Fourth Industrial Revolution), which was still conceived at Hannover Messe at the beginning of the previous decade. In the context of water management, the term ‘Water 4.0’ is used, which takes into account a whole range of technologies and digital tools. Its implementation relies in particular on cyber-physical systems to ensure the optimal level of network connectivity using digital tools, between virtual and physical water management facilities during their planning, construction and operation phases.The aim of this article is to identify and demonstrate the key benefits and opportunities of implementing cyber-physical systems in the context of industrial sewage management in Poland - based on selected case studies. The article has demonstrated: (1) rational management of asset renewal funds (CapEx), (2) economic efficiency of operation & maintenance (lower OpEx and TotEx), (3) maintenance planning and improved safety, and (4) various environmental benefits.
