As part of the project, ABB will also deliver comprehensive training and support to its in-country partner, Volt Automation LLC, to ensure effective implementation of Genix. The solution is designed to optimize operations and improve sustainability across water utilities using integrated, contextualized real-time data from multiple assets that enables operational efficiencies and cost savings.
Within the water sector, Genix can be used to monitor and analyze energy consumption in a range of settings, including pumping stations, treatment plants and distribution networks, enabling operators to make data-informed decisions to improve water resource management, achieve higher energy efficiency and provide consistent service delivery.
“We believe that digital technology is key to making better-informed decisions, sooner,” said Wissam Assaf, Head of Global Partner Business at ABB’s Energy Industries and Process Industries divisions. “By leveraging digital innovation and energy-efficient solutions, we can help Jordan build a more sustainable and resilient water sector. Through our collaboration with local partners, we aim to empower communities, optimize resource use and contribute to a better future for all.”
Jordan is among the most water-scarce countries in the world, with only 61 m<sup>3</sup> per capita a year of renewable water resources. A growing population, agricultural expansion and the impacts of climate change are increasing the pressure on Jordan’s water supplies[. The country remains committed to progressing its National Climate Change Policy 2022-2050, which includes action for supporting water supply, conservation and related infrastructure development.
“We are proud to work closely with ABB on this scope of work, demonstrating how digital innovation and partnership drives both economic and environmental progress,” said Sinan Hiasat, General Manager at Volt Automation. “We look forward to delivering tangible results for the water sector in Jordan, leveraging the capabilities of Genix to monitor, report and reduce energy consumption, establish water balance visibility, and enable better decision making on critical initiatives.”
In September 2025, ABB was recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Global Industrial IoT Platforms. ABB views the recognition as a reflection of the company’s continued commitment to delivering innovative industrial AI and IoT solutions that empower industries to operate leaner and cleaner.
With offices in Jordan, Qatar and Sudan, Volt Automation delivers specialized industrial automation, instrumentation and electrical services in the region.
