• Industrial Internet Of Things (IoT): Identifying The Vulnerabilities Of Field Devices

  The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) industry is growing at a rapid pace. By year-end 2015, an estimated 13.4 billion IoT-connected devices had flooded the global market.

• AZ Utility Breaks New Ground In Water Reuse With Help From VTScada Software

  The Fountain Hills Sanitary District (FHSD) provides wastewater treatment for over 13,000 homes and businesses. In addition to supplying the town’s namesake fountain, its treated water irrigates local golf courses and parks. In 2000, the utility developed an innovative way to make up the short-fall during the dryer less populated summer. By Christopher Little

• 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.

• The Future Of Wastewater: Why Has The U.S. Been So Slow To Adopt AI Tools?

  Wastewater analytics are already being used around the world to monitor contamination, optimize treatment processes, and catch environmental scofflaws. So why has the U.S. been so slow to adopt these technologies?

• Sounding The Alarm: How To Enable Efficient Infrastructure Surveillance And Response

  With SCADA and an upgraded remote alarm notification system, North Port Utilities in Florida can keep ‘eyes’ on operations even when workers are off — out of sight but never out of touch.

• West Yost Performs Successful Creek Crossing Risk Assessment Using InfoAsset Planner

  Sanitary sewer agencies are hired to assess the risk of creek crossings to environmental, social, and economic health. With this software, this group was able to create configurable asset management plans.

• How To Keep E-Waste Out Of The Water Cycle

  Remote wastewater services are available to monitor e-waste contamination in the global water supply. This article explains the problem, details its scope and threat, and presents devices for the monitoring of e-waste in water.
• ORP And pH — What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

  When I look back at 2016 one of the most significant trends I observed was the growing acceptance of ORP measurements, especially for monitoring disinfection. With one caveat, the ORP value measured in a solution provides an unambiguous measure of the disinfection efficacy.

• Region Of Waterloo Streamlines Water System To Ensure Highest Quality

  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.
