Wireless Solution for Automated
Water Collection and Distribution
The products of our brand partners extend the life of aging SCADA systems and provides localized distributed control functions in a wireless, peer-to-peer manner. Two or more remote facilities can be interconnected to enable wireless monitoring of the process data and on-site control/execution. This innovative programmable control system is ideal for the water industry as water intake control logic can be optimized based on data collected from all phases of delivery the wells, pumps, tanks and purification facilities, from remote wireless sensor and telemetry devices.

CASE STUDY
A local authority wanted an on-line monitoring system for failure alarms on sewerage pump stations.The pump stations were fitted with local alarms, however if these were ignored, sewerage overflow resulted in environmental complaints.
The authority used ELPRO Industrial Wireless I/O units as a cost effective solution. Pump run and fault status, and wet-well overflow status is transmitted back to a central computer. Because of the intelligent network functionality in the ELPRO Wireless units, each pump station only has to transmit as far as the nearest pump station, negating the need for expensive mast and antenna installations.
