Presentation Outline The Problem With Technology Projects Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Authority Telemetry Opportunity for Leveraging Telemetry & GIS Examples from PRASA Telemetry Integration Service Benefits and Uses Architecture Summary Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 3
The Problem With Technology Projects Technology projects like instrumentation and automation can require a significant investment for what typically comprises a single, departmental system Operational data often become information silos that cannot be easily accessed or reused Focus on departmental needs misses opportunities to extend information beyond initial boundaries Shared data: Reaps benefits for the whole organization Increases return on investment Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 4
Telemetry Investment at PRASA 2008 2010: Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) implemented an island-wide telemetry system 1,500+ sites and 100,000 I/O points - one of the largest water/wastewater telemetry projects in the US Part of $2.3B capital improvement plan Goal: Deliver reliable, real-time monitoring and control distributed across five regional operating centers and headquarters Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 5
Telemetry Focused On Operator Use Regional monitoring systems wirelessly transmit water tank levels and pressure readings hourly from solarpowered monitors: Regional Water Distribution Telemetry Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 6
Telemetry Focused On Operator Use Operators view data through a Human Machine Interface (HMI) in forms, tables and graphs Simple Google map provides a spatial reference Not queryable or customizable Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 7
Leveraging the Investment PRASA and CDM Smith recognized the opportunity for extending the business benefits of both the telemetry data and its existing web-based geographical information system (GIS). Goal: Build a rich, easy to use visualization interface that delivers Enhanced operational support Faster decision making Strategic insights Broader information distribution Pilot: PRASA Telemetry & GIS Integration in AquaWeb and AquaPad Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 8
Leveraging the Investment By tapping into the telemetry data that is already being collected GIS Regional Water Distribution Telemetry Aug 7-9, 2012 Orlando, Florida, USA 9
