• A New Wave Of Evolution Is Streamlining Wastewater Treatment

  Biological wastewater treatment exists because microorganisms have been developing for millions of years to be able to utilize contaminants from water. The first wastewater treatment plants were built around this feature of nature more than 100 years ago. These tiny creatures are still evolving from generation to generation to adapt better to their environment and as a result, get us clean water.

• CPQ Vs. Transcend: What’s The Difference In Water Treatment Equipment Proposal Software?

  CPQ stands for configure, price, quote. Many water and wastewater treatment companies that sell products and engineered systems use CPQ tools to help streamline their inquiry to order (ITO) and manufacturing to order (MTO) processes. Engineering teams, and in some cases sales teams, utilize CPQ tools to help them select the right configuration of products for specific customer needs, and the tool then compiles that information into a basic proposal or set of technical documents, often with a price attached.

• Quantifying Automation’s Positive Impacts On WWTP Engineering

  The old adage about genius being 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration originated in the late 19^th century, but in today’s world of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) design, engineers are still haunted by onerous design processes and iterations. All that could soon change thanks to a design generator software that automates much of the ‘perspiration’ in favor of leaving more time for ‘inspiration.’ Here’s how it works.

• Generating Designs Has Never Been Easier

  Managing a constantly evolving, unique, and complex product like the Transcend Design Generator is always a challenge, but we cannot forget that usability and user experience always comes first.

• Complex Water Treatment Designs… Made Simple

  Having worked in the water industry for over 18 years I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard how complex it is to propose & design projects for water and wastewater treatment. Every year governments, municipalities, and industries around the world have more stringent treatment requirements and the need for clean water becomes more and more of a necessity.

• How To Code Like A Wastewater Treatment Plant

  The coding process has a lot of parts we tend to forget, like documentation, testing, or even the most administrative parts, the worklog. But if you look at coding from a different perspective, you can make your coding process, but in reality, any type of work process much more in line.

• How Artificial Intelligence Is Solving The Water Crisis

  The population on Earth is rapidly growing and the demand for clean water grows with it. According to a U.N. report, global water demand is expected to grow by 50 percent by 2030. This puts pressure on both nature and on the water industry to quickly adapt. The importance of advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources is more important than ever.

• What Innovyze Means to Me

  Uber. Airbnb. Pinterest. Snapchat. Slack. Square. Stripe… it feels like we’re bombarded by news of a newly minted ‘unicorn’ almost every single day.

  And it's frustrating as hell.

• Starting A Design With The Transcend Design Generator

  Depending on your project status and needs, the Transcend Design Generator (TDG) provides you with multiple customization options. A new design can be created with as few as 15 basic inputs. Then you are free to specify more advanced input parameters.

  Have you ever wondered how CAS, MBR and MBBR designs compare?

• 5 Steps To Automated Wastewater Treatment Plant Design

  The Transcend Design Generator (TDG) allows users to generate high-quality engineering designs of wastewater treatment plants with the push of a button. This infographic takes a peek under the hood at how this incredibly powerful tool works from data validation of your inputs to the generation of fully-rendered documentation and plans. Experience the magic of how the TDG is empowering wastewater engineers worldwide through the application of artificial intelligence.

• Using Software To Replicate The Steps And Logic Engineers Use To Design Water Infrastructure

  Transcend automates the process of water facility designs via a cloud-based SaaS platform. They recently announced the completion of a $3 million Series A funding round.

• Can Artificial Intelligence Beat A Design Engineer?

  Can a machine — a computer or a set of computers — design intricate infrastructure by itself?

• Automation Is Taking Over The World: Water Is Next

  It wasn’t long ago that humans designed products and systems using pen and paper. Drawings were done manually, with large teams of people completing drafts on big desks in giant rooms:

• A Deeper Look At Automated Treatment Plant Design

  Design Generator (“DG”) is a web-based, online water facility design engineering platform that enables engineering professionals to rapidly generate preliminary engineering designs for CAS facilities as well as MBR, MBBR, and others. The tool has been developed by leading industry professionals and software development experts to create an easy-to-use, sophisticated wastewater-engineering application.

• How To Meet Demand For The Ever-Increasing Demand For Preliminary Design Iterations

  Since the invention of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), we have seen software rapidly taking over a wide variety of day-to-day tasks that were previously performed manually. At the same time, engineering and construction firms and end users expect an ever-increasing number of preliminary design iterations for complex projects. And they expect them right away, not in weeks or months as it took in the past. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are making it exponentially easier to find errors and produce higher quality outputs in less time. We believe the water industry must adapt to these evolving trends or it will be left behind.
