Dedicated.engines are able to demonstrate the live monitoring over the Internet of a water treatment site at Moa Point, New Zealand, owned and operated by the UK company, Anglian Water.
Dedicated.engines are able to demonstrate the live monitoring over the Internet of a water treatment site at Moa Point, New Zealand, owned and operated by the UK company, Anglian Water.
The site is shown as a live SCADA-style picture on its own website.
The control and automation system on the site is interrogated by a Dedicated.engines e-MIS computer, which streams the information up to a website on the Internet.
The website is updated with live information at a rate of once every 30 minutes.
Anglian Water operates several water treatment facilities outside of the UK and the New Zealand site follows on the heels of Anglian Water's Cambridge Water Treatment site, which was the first step in Anglian Water's plans to provide a world-wide live monitoring service to their clients.
Anglian Water won the contract to design, build and operate the Moa Point site, which went operational in October 1998.
The site serves a population of 250,000 in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington.
Anglian Water currently operates one of the largest remote monitoring telemetry systems in the water industry.
Monitoring over 5,800 sites in the UK, Anglian Water intend to grow the use of their ARTS2000 system by using Internet technology to monitor sites around the world.
By using Internet technology, Anglian Water also intend to make the information in the ARTS2000 system available to a more of their customers and suppliers.
The information is displayed in the form of active web pages, which can be made freely available to any customer with Internet access and a web browser, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Dedicated.engines is providing the enabling software and hardware package for Anglian Water in the form of their e-MIS 'thin servers', which can take information from existing automation and control systems and make it available in the form of live, active web pages.
The information is available to any authorised user.
The user needs no specialist software to view the information, simply a freely available web browser.
The e-MIS can provide web pages on the Internet itself, over a company's internal Ethernet network, or via dial-up modem over the telephone line.
Dedicated.engines also provides MIMIC engines, which connect directly to industrial signals (4-20mA loops, 24V digital signals, etc.) and produce the information in the form of local web pages.
Again, the MIMIC can provide the web pages over a company's internal Ethernet network, or via dial-up modem.
