Dollars and Sense: The Financial Case for Automation

A coworker authored this article that was published in the Clean Water Edition of “Water Online the Magazine.” The title is somewhat self-explanatory, but I thought the article does a nice job summarizing how “advanced automation systems allow municipalities to do much more with less.”

Numerous plants/municipalities incorporate varying degrees of automation, but rarely is it done with a very clear, overarching objective in mind. This article goes on to explain the financial benefits of a unified automation strategy. I’m sure that some of the benefits may seem obvious to many of our community members, but there may be other benefits that are not so obvious.

Hopefully you’ll have a chance to read this article, and share your thoughts and opinions.
