00 - Project story

This project was developed so that every critical point of the Manisa Wastewater Treatment Plant, spread across a wide area, could be monitored and managed from a single centre: pumping stations, aeration basins, chemical dosing units and discharge lines. With real-time data tracking, alarm management, historical trend analysis and automatic reporting that meets legal standards, the system keeps the plant running efficiently and safely.

01 - Challenge

The challenges

The starting point: what was slowing the line down, putting it at risk or keeping its data in the dark?

  1. 01Challenge

    Managing hundreds of pieces of equipment spread over a wide geographic area from a single centre

  2. 02Challenge

    Keeping data flowing without interruption or error, 24/7

  3. 03Challenge

    Integrating older equipment of different makes and models

  4. 04Challenge

    Full compliance with legal reporting standards and environmental regulations

02 - Solution

Our solutions

Our answer: mechanics, controls and software, built by one team.

  1. 01Solution

    A redundant Profinet network designed around distributed I/O islands

  2. 02Solution

    A redundant SCADA server architecture for high availability

  3. 03Solution

    Standard protocols such as OPC UA and Modbus for data integration

  4. 04Solution

    Custom, automated reporting modules that meet legal standards
