SAMOS, (referenced here as OCC) - Water Efficiencies and Savings (Saur Asset Management Operating System)

Also known as the OCC (Operational Control Centre in France). SAMOS is a series of processes, info gathering, technologies and data analysis which combined, can show up areas for improvement.

With 360° real-time visibility of the asset and service performance, every part of the water operation can benefit from SAMOS performance enhancements:

  • A holistic approach to operational excellence by more efficiently managing people, optimising assets and delivering services with a focus on the customer and regulatory obligations.
  • Introduction of operational control frameworks and supporting IT systems, to drive a culture of right first time, asset reporting accuracy and continuous improvement.
  • A natural integration of specialist teams to work together on issues where once they may have been siloed, to assess problems and undertake rigorous root cause analysis to lead to resolutions which are robust and where resolution timescales are minimised.
  • Creation of optimised asset investment and a focus on operational performance using operational technology to ensure lowest cost to serve.
