• Situational Awareness — The Next Leap In Industrial Human Machine Interface Design

  Wonderware InTouch has been the world’s number one Human Machine Interface (HMI) for over 25 years and offers legendary ease of use, market leading innovation, unequalled investment protection, brilliant graphics, unsurpassed connectivity, the industry’s best support and the broadest partner ecosystem.

• What Pumps Tell Us About Water, Power, And The Worker

  High up in the Tehachapi Mountains of California’s Central Valley lies the largest consumer of the state’s electricity, driving 14 centrifugal pumps, each rated at 80,000 hp.

• The Drive Towards Digital Transformation

  It seems that everywhere that you go in the water industry at the current time, somebody is talking about digital transformation…or if we go back five minutes, it was Water 4.0…and 10 minutes ago (it seems), it was “smart water.” These are all very well used buzzwords that the industry is destined to think about for a short-term and then promptly forget about. In reality, though, we as an industry have been hit by a number of different concepts for a number of different technological aspects for a good number of years now. For almost as long we have had a term for all of this — “widgets.”

• Understanding The Value of Instrumentation In The Water Industry

  As long as instrumentation is selected, installed, commissioned, and maintained properly the data that it can give is invaluable to the water industry. 

• Pride And Prejudice: A Philadelphia (Water Department) Story

  Recently, I had the opportunity to tour a unique and innovative facility, the Bureau of Lab Services (BLS), the “water quality heartbeat of the Philadelphia Water Department” (PWD), as described by BLS director Gary Burlingame.

• How To Tackle 5 OT Management Challenges In Water Automation

  Get the most out of your automated systems by mastering the human element sustaining them — i.e., operational technology (OT).
• A Dynamic Trio For Water Networks — Smart Metering, Hydraulic Modeling, And AI

  Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.
• DNA Sequencing: The Future Of Water And Wastewater Analysis?

  DNA sequencing can provide more information on water and wastewater than traditional methods. Is it time for treatment operations to adopt the method?

• Town Of Castle Rock, CO Reduces Water Age By 35% Through Desktop Operational Optimization Study

  Castle Rock Water teamed with Optimatics to consider whether modifying the operation of the Castle Rock water distribution network could improve water age across the system. The purpose of the Castle Rock optimization study was to assess system operations and determine whether changes to the way the system is operated could reduce water age across the system, particularly in some problematic storage tanks. Water age is a concern for many water utilities since it is a major factor in the deterioration of water quality in distribution systems.

• The Free Pathway To The Smart Grid For Water

  The water sector is undergoing structural shifts that will demand changes to the way in which we operate if we are to meet our water challenges in the future.  Water volatility is increasing.
