Case Study | Water Apps | Water and Wastewater
Modern water treatment facilities can operate sophisticated and sometimes very costly water and wastewater networks and sewage treatment plants, which are usually run by a public utility organization or municipality.
CHALLENGE
According to Gary Walters, Project Manager for Frost Engineering, “One challenge for this project was
how to allow a modification to a process variable on the SCADA system to be copied back to the remote location without being overwritten by the constant polling. The flexibility in the communication driver of FactoryStudio was key to making this work.”
SOLUTION
FactoryStudio was installed for operator control of the remote water system locations from the central office, to read the real-time data from a master PLC and make it available to the operator in a logical and understandable way.
RESULTS
FactoryStudio system provides collection of real-time data so performance can be monitored and analyzed later if necessary. It also increased their ability to respond to Alarms more quickly and efficiently has been terrific.

Challenge
Irrigation Automation Company needed a way to visualize and control real-time data to improve efficiency and performance of pivots out in the field, while allowing farmers the ability to communicate via a mobile device, iPad or iPhone. They searched for a complete software package that provided the necessary connectivity, communications, report generation, and graphic displays all-in-one.
Solution
Irrigation Automation Company chose FactoryStudio; providing them the flexibility and control for managing communications with the PLC, real-time alarms & alerts, built-in SQL data-logging, ability to create needed complex animations & scripts, using Microsoft .NET development tools and allowed the application to run natively on iOS supporting iPhones and iPads.
Results
A rich operator experience and functionality that helped Irrigation Automation Company differentiate themselves from the competition, while providing improved efficiency of water/chemicals usage, and significantly less pivot systems downtime.
