• Modernizing U.S. Water Utilities: A Data-Driven Imperative

  The U.S. water utility sector stands at a critical juncture, facing a confluence of challenges that demand innovative and strategic responses. Aging infrastructure, escalating operational costs, and the persistence of data silos are placing immense pressure on these essential service providers. To navigate this complex landscape and ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable water services, a fundamental shift towards proactive, data-driven approaches is not just beneficial but essential.
• City of Bend, OR Achieves Cost-Effective Strategies For Water System Upgrades Due To Growth

  Murraysmith used Optimizer to a develop a long-term masterplan for Bend’s water distribution system, to help the city prepare for future population growth. Bend has been experiencing steady population growth over the years, and this growth is not expected to slow down in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this masterplan optimization was to determine the most cost-effective strategy for upgrading the system to be able to prepare for the anticipated future demands.

• A Practical Approach To Using IoT Devices To Support Legacy SCADA Field Systems In The Transition To Internet-Based Industrial Automation Systems

  In the world of industrial automation, the talk is centered around “industrial internet of things” (IIoT). With buzzwords like “Industry 4.0”, “IoT”, “digital twin”, “cloud computing”, “artificial intelligence”, “machine learning”, and “deep learning”, it is difficult for automation engineers and business managers to determine how to implement these new technologies.

• Advancing Digital Solutions From Pilots To Practice In The Water Sector

  Across the water sector, the same question echoes through utilities and organizations: "We've completed a successful pilot, but now what?" While digital experimentation has become commonplace, the journey from pilot to practice remains challenging.

• Igniting A Smart Water Movement

  Water scarcity. Aging infrastructure. Uncertainty due to climate change. Experts from across the water sector agree that water challenges are intensifying, and that action and public awareness is a necessity. Now we have the need — and the opportunity — for those same voices to raise the volume on one of the most powerful ways to address increasing water threats: digital innovation.

• Unlocking The True Value Of Smart Sensing Devices Through Digitalization

  By 2020, the number of connected things will triple from 6 billion to 20 billion. Digitalization is creating new business opportunities and alternative business models.

• FMCW Or ToF? Which Radar Level Technology Is Best For Tank Gauging In Custody Transfer Applications?

  Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

• 5 Ways InfoWorks ICM Can Help You Work More Efficiently

From model development and simulation runs, ICM is designed to help the user streamline ongoing projects and data intake. It provides a digital representation of the natural and constructed environment surrounding your sewer and stormwater networks, above and below ground so you can confidently manage your systems.

• Selecting A Flow Measurement Technology

  What’s the right flow measurement method for your operation? A leading independent lab breaks down the options and considerations.

• Bringing Efficiency And Confidence To Wastewater Analysis

  Maintaining the quality of wastewater (WW) effluent is more important than ever before, as municipalities deal with aging treatment systems, budget restrictions, and evolving compliance standards. As a result, water professionals need accurate and efficient tools to check water safety in the lab and in the field to determine levels of chemicals such as sodium, chloride, calcium, fluoride and ammonia, as well as pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.
