Smart Water Rollout: Zenner at IFAT Munich 2026
Resilience is becoming the guiding principle of water management: infrastructure must be operated not only in a sustainable manner but also with resilience. From May 4 to 7, 2026, Zenner International GmbH & Co. KG will present solutions for digital water management at IFAT Munich, with a focus on the Smart Water Rollout.
Saarbrücken, April 2026. The demands on cities and utilities are growing: extreme weather events, increasing urbanization, and resource scarcity are intensifying the pressure to make water management sustainable and future-proof. The use of digital solutions and wireless technologies such as LoRaWAN plays a key role in this. They enable comprehensive data collection and form the basis for resilient water infrastructure and the Smart Water rollout. At the same time, political initiatives such as the European Blue Deal or the National Water Strategy set clear guidelines.
At IFAT 2026 in Munich, Zenner will present solutions for the Smart Water Rollout and for building scalable IoT infrastructures — from smart metering to data platforms.
