Water Balance & AI: Insights from Brown-Forman’s Journey

Manual water meter readings are still the norm for many industrial sites— resulting in inefficiencies, incomplete data, and delayed responses to anomalies. But digitizing water monitoring doesn't need to begin with costly smart meter installations or major infrastructure changes. In this webinar, Daniel Hernandez, EHS and Sustainability Manager at Brown-Forman, joins us to explore why water balance is critical at the site level, how it can be measured, the challenges that can be faced with manual monitoring processes, and how technology and AI can be incorporated to improve data quality, enable real-time anomaly detection, and support better operational decision-making.
