• IoT Cellular Connectivity For Optimizing Water Utilities Management

  Digital transformation allows utilities to go from data drought (and actual drought) to a deluge of efficiency, but security is paramount.

• Interview With Innovyze CEO: Water infrastructure 'A Collaborative Effort'

  Recently Innovyze CEO, Colby Manwaring, sat down for an interview with Kim Slowey, Publisher at The Construction Broadsheet to discuss the potential opportunities and barriers that may result from the newly passed $1.2 trillion bill from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

• DCS Versus PLC: A User's Guide To Selecting The Most Effective Control Platform For Your Application

  Distributed control systems (DCSs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are not mutually exclusive technologies. When the end-use application serves as the basis for making a sound decision, the selection process becomes more efficient, and a more effective outcome results. This white paper provides general guidelines and highlights key considerations when choosing a control system platform. While the details of each application are critical to the selection process, use the following as a guide when designing, specifying, and implementing controller technology.

• SWAN Corner: Unlock Data To Improve Water Distribution System Operations

  Water distribution system infrastructures are designed to deliver drinking water to end users, but utilities are continually faced with distinct challenges to fulfill this fundamental objective. For example, these utilities improve customer service by delivering water with high pressure, but on the other hand, water conservation policies push them to minimize water distribution leaks. For this reason, water utilities invest heavily in SCADA and telemetry technologies to support operational decisions. However, unlocking historical operational data and fusing it with other data (such as billing information from AMR/AMI networks) to generate actionable insights has proven difficult.

• Sheboygan Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility Prevents Energy Waste With Eaton's Motor Insight
