Challenges

  • Field Data Collection - Limited capabilities for collecting comprehensive field data like water tank levels across multiple stations throughout the region.
  • System Integration - Need to integrate with 50,000+ tags, multiple PLCs, servers, databases (SQL Server/Oracle), and GIS systems across hundreds of locations.
  • Multi-Application Management - Required unified solution for tank storage, water purification, wastewater treatment, drilling, and flow metering operations.

Results

  • Enhanced Monitoring - Achieved full station status visibility, detailed reporting, and fast historical data archiving/retrieval across all facilities.
  • Seamless Integration - Successfully connected GENESIS64 with existing OPC equipment, databases, and Esri mapping systems.
  • Operational Expansion - Enabled advanced analytics, mobile/web access, and planned expansion to IoT metering, vehicle tracking, and energy management.

Project Summary

SASKI Location Overview Dashboard SASKI Location Overview Dashboard

In addition to the motors, pumps, and other equipment that help provide water throughout the province, SASKI’s stations contain control devices that collect data, such as water tank levels, from the field. The organization sought to improve its field data collection capabilities, adding functionality such as full station status, detailed reporting, field device control, fast historical archiving/retrieval, and integration with geographic information systems (GIS) (e.g., Esri). SASKI specifically required an automation software provider that could integrate with their multiple applications across hundreds of locations, including tank storage, drinking water purification/provision, wastewater purification, drilling, flow metering, and more.

The water-focused organization initially planned for their new monitoring and control solution to connect to over 50,000 tags, and integrating with on-site OPC-integrated equipment (including PLCs). The chosen solution would also need to work with multiple servers, databases (Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle), and client machines.

Benefits of the System

Ultimately, after considering multiple competitor solutions, SASKI selected Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions’ GENESIS64 and connected components. According to the company’s engineers, what attracted them to GENESIS was that the solution’s system architecture is able to be expanded and easily integrated into most systems. SASKI’s operators also noted that Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions is “open to innovation” and provided “strong support” both to them and to their integrator.

Initially, SASKI installed Hyper Historian data historian, including its server and distributed collector components. The firm then proceeded, with assistance from Cedetaş Engineering & Technology, to integrate additional Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions products, quickly becoming more familiar with their multiple features and benefits including extensive user interface abilities, advanced reporting options, and Esri map integration.

SASKI’s engineers also appreciated the ease of use of GENESIS’ Bulk Asset Configuration tool, GraphWorX64’s advanced client interface, the expansion of displays via WebHMI and MobileHMI, and Hyper Historian’s performance calculations.

Conclusion

SASKI has been pleased with their selection of GENESIS for their water system monitoring and control and has already made a list of additional applications it plans to address with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions’ assistance. Among these are drinking water system management, wastewater system management, purification system management, IoT water metering, vehicle tracking, generator monitoring, building management, and energy management. With the success of their most recent implementation, SASKI will be sure to keep GENESIS in the flow of things.
