(Image credit: Ecocoast/Xylem) The partnership strengthens Ecocoast's environmental monitoring solutions portfolio across the GCC through the integration of proven Xylem sensing technologies, including YSI and Aanderaa instruments, into the systems it supplies and services for clients across the UAE, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar. Xylem instruments will be integrated with Ecocoast's configurable data buoy platforms, delivering real-time environmental intelligence for marine and coastal applications. Combining water quality, oceanographic, and meteorological monitoring, the solution supports ports, marinas, coastal developments, offshore operations, environmental compliance programs, and marine research initiatives. Ecocoast has already demonstrated this integration capability through several regional deployments incorporating Xylem technology. At a water and power plant on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, Ecocoast locally assembled, configured, tested, and commissioned a YSI DB1750 Multi Purpose Metocean Buoy, integrating an LDI ROW oil spill sensor and Campbell Scientific logger with cellular telemetry. Live data is streamed to Xylem's YSI HydroSphere platform for remote monitoring. In Dubai, Ecocoast delivered a similar system for a major water utility, applying the same locally assembled, fully commissioned approach. Supported by dedicated facilities in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Ecocoast provides regional integration, deployment, maintenance, and technical support across both its own technologies and partner solutions. This local capability ensures GCC clients receive responsive service and long-term operational support throughout the lifecycle of their environmental monitoring systems. Ecocoast has also provided sensor repair and YSI DB1750 reconfiguration services for a private island development in Umluj, Saudi Arabia, alongside sensor servicing, repairs, and annual maintenance contract calibrations for multiple clients in the UAE. Joachim de Jenlis, Chief Executive Officer of Ecocoast, said: "This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver complete environmental monitoring solutions tailored to the needs of clients across the GCC. By combining Xylem's sensing technology with our field-proven data buoy platforms and regional service capability, we are helping organizations monitor and protect their marine environments with reliable, real-time intelligence backed by teams that understand local operating conditions."

Global industrial giant Xylem chooses Swedish AI company Gimic. Växjö-based AI company Gimic has secured Xylem as a new customer. The global water technology company, with more than 23,000 employees and operations in approximately 150 countries, has chosen Gimic's AI-based technology for automated quality control at its production facility in Emmaboda. Gimic develops AI-based solutions that enable manufacturing companies to automate quality inspections that have traditionally been performed manually. Xylem has now chosen to use Gimic's technology for quality control of manufactured shafts for submersible pumps. Using cameras, image analysis and AI models, cracks, scratches, pressure marks and other defects can be automatically identified directly in the production line. This reduces the need for manual inspections and enables quality deviations to be detected earlier in the production process. "The fact that a global industrial company like Xylem has chosen Gimic is strong validation that our technology creates tangible value in industrial production. Xylem has high standards for both quality and efficiency, and we look forward to working together to automate parts of their quality control, reduce costs and further strengthen the quality of their production," says Therese Lundstedt, CEO of Gimic. Xylem is a global leader in water technology, developing products, systems and digital solutions to transport, treat, measure, analyse and reuse water. The company provides solutions across the entire water cycle and serves, among others, municipal water and wastewater operations, industry, energy and commercial buildings. Xylem has more than 23,000 employees and operations in approximately 150 countries. About Gimic Gimic develops AI-based systems for automated quality control and process monitoring in the manufacturing industry. Through proprietary AI models and software, the company can replace manual inspections with automated image analysis directly in production. This contributes to higher and more consistent quality, reduced waste and lower production costs. The technology is currently used by several leading industrial companies and is an enabler of increased automation and the fully automated factories of the future.
