Fourth Industrial Revolution refers to an innovative change in terms of economy and the society based on a convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big-Date, and other information technology, leading to a rapid enhancement of productivity and introduction of intelligent products and services. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has provided the water industry with an opportunity to make improvements to the management system with technology convergence and innovation.
In the water industry, technology innovation based on the Fourth Industrial Revolution will allow artificial intelligence to be in charge of the use of water resources with heavy rain, recycling the resources, learning and predicting the water network and disasters, and managing the ecosystem and the water resources. Within the comprehensive, cutting-edge Smart Water Grid water management system, a number of factors and technology will provide us with a new type of water circulation system of the future with Internet of Things (IoT) and CPS.
Drone refers to an unmanned aircraft shaped like an airplane or a helicopter that can fly or be controlled without a pilot inside the aircraft, but with a wireless signal. It uses drone technology. It makes it possible to conduct checks on water resources that were far away from a remote area.
