About Sandro Hansen

What if the systems we depend on for clean water could think ahead—predict issues before they happen, optimize themselves in real time, and free operators from firefighting mode? For many water utilities and industrial plants, the reality is quite different: • SCADA alarms overload teams with data instead of insight. • Rising energy and chemical costs squeeze budgets. • Traditional automation struggles to adapt to complex, changing conditions. This is where I come in. With 25+ years in water and wastewater treatment—spanning engineering design, plant management, consulting, and now AI-driven innovation—I bridge the gap between deep domain knowledge and cutting-edge digital technology. At Turing, we develop AI and SCADA-integrated solutions that: • Reduce operational costs by up to 20% through adaptive optimization. • Extend membrane life and improve reliability with predictive anomaly detection. • Help operators focus on decision-making, not alarm chasing, by turning data into actionable foresight. My approach is hands-on and pragmatic: I’ve been the engineer responding to 2 a.m. callouts, the manager balancing budgets, and the consultant advising on mega-projects. That lived experience shapes every digital solution I design. One personal moment that shaped my journey: standing in a huge water treatment plant control room, watching skilled operators work tirelessly with tools that gave them information but little intelligence. I realized then that AI, if applied responsibly, could become the missing link—helping humans and technology work together to deliver sustainable, secure water for the future. Today, my passion lies in technologies that don’t just meet demand, but actively regenerate resources and reduce environmental impact. If you’re building the next generation of smart, sustainable water systems—whether in utilities or industrial operations—I’d love to connect. Let’s explore how AI, SCADA, and domain expertise can make your vision a reality.
