Practical Smart Water Solutions Capitalizing on the Digital Wave

The demand for reliable, secure, and scalable automation technology is growing exponentially in the water/wastewater industry. Municipalities struggle with “data silos” that limit the flow and availability of information to the various stakeholders and systems, limiting insights that can be gleaned from the operation. At Brock, we are using Ignition to break open these silos and aggregate disparate data sources into a connected central point, providing a complete view from tap to treatment of the water operation.

The Art of Displaying Industrial Data

There is a huge amount of data out there and a great deal of power and insight that we can gain from it — if we can just bring it all into focus and make it more manageable. Many industrial organizations are accomplishing this by building sophisticated HMI, SCADA, and MES projects with the Ignition Perspective Module.

We strive to provide free resources and affordable solutions for organizations with limited budgets, helping them to create cutting-edge systems without exclusionary pricing. Really, there’s nothing more inspiring to us than stories of how utilities are discovering innovative ways to upgrade their processes while saving money with Ignition.
