IndustryPack for water and wastewater

23 June 2008

Wonderware’s new IndustryPack for water and wastewater is designed to enhance overall productivity in facility operations.

The IndustryPack, the first in a series that will focus on specific vertical markets, is a pre-configured set of application templates and graphics specifically built for use by water and wastewater companies and municipalities. Pre-configured content enables system engineers to minimise the overall cost and complexities associated with creating and managing water and wastewater systems. In addition, it will address critical issues facing this industry such as workforce attrition, regulatory requirements, business factors, source water supply and aging infrastructure.

"Wonderware offers a refreshing alternative to traditional SCADA system solutions by adding industry specific content and applications on top of the Wonderware System Platform 3.0 software built on ArchestrA technology,” said Rob McGreevy, director of the Wonderware industry marketing group.

Invensys extends the software services offered by Microsoft server platforms and Microsoft .NET Framework to create the ArchestrA automation and information integration architecture. "The ArchestrA architecture is ideally suited for water and wastewater applications by employing an easy-to-use, component-object-based environment for developing standardised water and wastewater operations management solutions," said Eduardo Ballina, industry manager for Wonderware SCADA solutions. "This significantly improves productivity and controls the overall cost of managing and deploying solutions."
