I thought I’d let everyone know that we have a booth (2227) at the annual AWWA conference in Dallas, Texas next week. There are a couple of topics we hope to highlight at the show.
SIMULATION - Municipalities are facing the looming retirement of experienced operators in unprecedented numbers. So, at the show, we will be discussing simulation capabilities that can help get new workers up to speed quickly, while reducing the chance of costly errors and environmental violations.
ADVANCED, LARGE-SCALE SCADA FOR REGIONAL AUTHORITIES - Many municipalities are banding together to form large regional authorities in order to reduce operating costs, share capital expenses and improve the efficiency and reliability of services to their ratepayers. The large physical areas bring unique challenges in managing large amounts of data over vast physically-distributed systems, while maintaining the security demanded for these most critical of public services.
This second topic jibes somewhat with the “Dollars and Sense” article I summarized in the post below. As a result, we will be highlighting advanced SCADA solutions that provide the capacity, security and simplified network management solutions needed to effectively implement regionalization strategies.
If you happen to be attending the show, please stop by and pay us visit. Or feel free to discuss these topics here on the Emerson Exchange 365 board.
