Water & Wastewater
Remote monitoring for water and wastewater systems
Organizations managing water systems face common challenges: inefficient and outdated equipment, complex SCADA systems, and a limited number of experienced technicians. ExoSense® can quickly enhance existing water systems with cloud-based remote monitoring that increases efficiencies, optimizes personnel resources, reduces costs, and mitigates potential downtime.
The water industry today
Aging infrastructure means water main breaks occur roughly every two minutes across the country, and non-revenue water costs U.S. utilities an estimated $6.4 billion a year. Real-time flow, pressure, and tank-level monitoring turns invisible leaks into an early warning system. It's the same visibility Exosite brings to condition monitoring and predictive maintenance programs across industrial equipment.
With Exosite
- 1Connect
Wire in sensors and SCADA
Flow meters, tank-level sensors, and pH probes, or existing SCADA and PLC signals.
- 2Digitize
Stream data into ExoSense
Real-time data mapped to every tank, pump, and treatment stage.
- 3Detect
Flag problems early
Rules catch flow drops, turbidity spikes, and tank-level anomalies before they become incidents.
- 4Act
Fix it before downtime
Technicians get the alert and the history, and act before downtime or a compliance issue.
Key features
Real-time dashboards
pH, flow, turbidity, and tank levels, live and historical, on HMI-like dashboards from any device.
Condition-based alerting
Email and SMS alerts from rules like sustained thresholds or variances, easy to set up and change.
Legacy equipment
Connect existing SCADA systems, PLCs, and controls, or add sensors to older equipment.
"ExoSense provides real-time insights, condition-based alerts, and historical trends that technicians can configure using their in-depth knowledge of unique water systems."
Support personnel can better anticipate issues, maintain inventory of critical parts and chemicals, and perform maintenance before downtime occurs.
Do more with fewer people
ExoSense allows multiple pieces of equipment, systems, and facilities to be monitored from one simple application. Technicians can support larger numbers of municipalities remotely, travel less, and lower operational costs. A cloud-based approach is simpler and less expensive than SCADA-based systems.
Pump-Based Anomaly Detection
Sensors can be fitted to industrial pumps to monitor data sources like RPMs, device and ambient temperature, electrical current, humidity, and vibration. This data can be aggregated into advanced algorithms that detect performance anomalies, predict machine failure, and enable preventative maintenance to reduce costly downtime.
Challenges
- Need data analysis over significant time from large numbers of pumps
- Require implementation of analytic algorithms in the connected solution
- Need to make adjustments to the solution in real time
Where your program can go next
Most teams start by connecting a few lift stations or a single treatment stage. The same connected equipment then supports predictive maintenance on pumps and blowers, service agreements for the municipalities you support, and connected products if you build water equipment.
