Products

iFIX, HMI/SCADA, Proficy Industrial Software

The City of San Luis Obispo’s Water Department consists of five divisions that move water to and from the city. The divisions consist of a water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, waste water collections, water distribution system, and a reservoir

Challenges

Five divisions, five separate SCADA systems

The city was managing its water divisions in siloed systems that weren’t capturing all the necessary data needed on how the water equipment is running. The systems also did not include any alarming or trending capabilities, so the city often relied on its customers to notify them of any issues.
