Bridging The Gap: How LeakZon Unifies SCADA And AMI For Smarter Water Management

In the world of water utilities, two crucial systems often operate in parallel: SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure). While both play vital roles in managing water networks, their separation can create challenges for utilities striving for efficiency and reduced water loss. Let’s explore this common scenario and how LeakZon’s innovative WEAD platform offers a game-changing solution.

Many municipalities and utilities still rely on SCADA systems for monitoring and controlling their main water pipes, especially at critical junctions in their networks. These SCADA meters provide valuable data and control capabilities for large-scale operations.

On the positive side, Water Loss Management (WLM) platforms like LeakZon can leverage these SCADA meters as “headers” for District Metered Areas (DMAs). This allows for the integration of standard Automated Meter Reading (AMR) devices as regular AMI components, creating a more comprehensive monitoring system.
