  1. High Performance HMI: Practical Lessons For Getting Started And Leveraging Data 5/25/2021

    Our research shows that 90% of companies are collecting industrial data but only 30% are analyzing that data. Even less, just 2%, are acting on the information. With so much money being spent on collecting data, why aren’t organizations better utilizing it?

  2. Busting Myths About High Performance HMI 5/25/2021

    The human brain is remarkable. When we process visual information, our mind arranges what we are seeing for understanding, rather than offer a simple reflection of what is shown. However, our ability to do this breaks down when presented with imagery that is overly complex, uses too many different colors and provides no focal point or logical flow. 

  3. Enabling High Performance For Water/Wastewater Ops 5/25/2021

    If you’re a utility operator, then you’ve probably been working with the same HMI screens for over a decade. However, you now have the opportunity to update the entire SCADA system, including all the screens based on the ISA 101 and high performance HMI standards. Are you scared of change and being phased out?

  4. Cincinnati’s “Smart Sewer” Reduces Overflows And Cuts Costs 5/25/2021

    The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati needed to increase existing sewer system efficiency to address a federal mandate to keep raw sewage mixed with stormwater out of waterways when it rains. Here's how they did it.

  5. Smooth Sailing At Bloomington/Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant 5/24/2021

    When the Bloomington-Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant won a 2018 Plant of the Year award from the Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators, team members were ecstatic. Randy Stein, executive director and sports fan, likened it to winning the “Stanley Cup of wastewater.” On its way to the award (in Group 1 for plants larger than 7.5 mgd), the plant racked up 12 consecutive Gold Peak Performance Awards from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies. 

  6. High Availability, Connected Control Solution Virtually Eliminates Downtime 5/24/2021

    Mekorot, Israel sought to reduce production costs through improved energy efficiency and tighter process control. They leveraged GE Digital's software and automation solutions to automatically monitor and control devices. 

  7. Region Of Waterloo Streamlines Water System To Ensure Highest Quality 5/24/2021

    The Regional Municipality of Waterloo’s Water Services department is working with GrayMatter, a GE Digital partner, to develop and implement an iFIX SCADA upgrade program designed to modernize the Region’s infrastructure and operating methods. In some cases, equipment manufacturers have phased out hardware or software. Other systems lacked industry-standard features or the ability to leverage best practices from industry standards bodies such as ISA. The Region pursued the project to maintain or improve regulatory compliance and provide water that meets the highest quality standards for its service area.
