Grundfos has launched GENIECON, an intelligent system controller aimed at enhancing monitoring, control, and efficiency across water infrastructure systems in the Middle East and Africa.
The launch comes as infrastructure networks across the region expand, with operators managing increasingly complex systems across multiple sites and applications. Rising climate pressures and accelerating digitalization are also driving demand for improved system visibility, faster response times, and secure management solutions.
GENIECON is designed to address these challenges by enabling operators to manage complex water systems through a single, centralized platform. By integrating multiple system components into one interface, the controller improves visibility, operational efficiency, and system reliability.
The solution supports a wide range of applications, including municipal water supply, agricultural and landscape irrigation, pressure boosting systems, and high-rise and commercial buildings, where real-time monitoring and remote management are critical to maintaining performance.
It also enables the modernization of existing infrastructure by integrating third-party equipment, allowing operators to upgrade legacy systems without full replacement of Variable Speed Drives, thereby improving operational intelligence while optimizing existing assets.
GENIECON incorporates enhanced cybersecurity features to support increasingly digital infrastructure environments. Combined with remote monitoring and access via Grundfos Connect, operators can securely manage installations across multiple locations and respond more effectively to operational challenges.

“We are seeing a clear shift across the Middle East towards more connected and intelligent water infrastructure, as operators work to manage increasingly complex systems with greater efficiency and control. With GENIECON now available in the region, we are enabling our customers to take a more integrated approach to system management, bringing multiple assets together into a single, secure platform. This allows operators to improve visibility, streamline operations and respond more effectively to the growing demands placed on their infrastructure.”
Key features of GENIECON
Major features of GENIECON include a 10-inch multi-touch screen with system visualization, user-friendly commissioning, advanced cybersecurity, over-the-air firmware updates, and remote monitoring capabilities.
The controller builds on the legacy of the CU352 system, offering enhanced functionality, improved cybersecurity, and a more intuitive user experience tailored for increasingly sophisticated water infrastructure. GENIECON is now available across markets in the Middle East and Africa, supporting efforts to build more efficient and resilient water systems.
