How Cloud-Based SCADA Provides True System Redundancy
WaterPro Conference 2023, Aurora, CO
We talked about the difference between traditional, on-premise SCADA vs. a new approach using cloud services to monitor and control critical infrastructure.
I’ve spoken at events in the US and South Africa.
One of my favorite ways to share my ideas is live on stage, where there’s so much more communication bandwidth than there is in writing, and I love interaction with the audience because they give me the opportunity to answer questions instead of just present my opinions.
Conferences in 2023
Dynamic Pump Sequencing – Optimizing Energy Efficiency
AWWA Infrastructure Conference, Philidelphia, PA
Using a cloud service to do supervisory control allows us to implement sophisticated control algorithms. We show how our approach saved a water utility more than $100k per year on energy cost through pump optimization.
Your Crystal Ball – How System Data Provides Actionable Insights
WEF Collection Systems Conference, Kansas City MO
Traditional SCADA focuses on the here and now and help operators to have insights into their systesm. A cloud based system allows sophisticated data analytics with machine learning and AI that give managers additional insights.
Dynamic Pump Sequencing – Optimizing Energy Efficiency
California Water Environment Association Annual Conference, San Diego, CA
Using a cloud service to do supervisory control allows us to implement sophisticated control algorithms. We show how our approach saved a water utility more than $100k per year on energy cost through pump optimization.
It’s 2 AM: Do You know Where Your SCADA Backup Is?
AWWA CA-NV Section Spring Conference, San Diego, CA
A cloud SCADA system allows water system operators to focus on production, not IT tasks like proper back-up and restoration regimes. The cloud service provider performs these tasks
The Intersection of IT and OT – How Cloud-Based SCADA Systems Offer Resiliency From Cyberattacks
AWWA-IL WaterCon, Springfield IL
A fundamental difference with our Cloud-Based SCADA system is that we employ a system of zero-trust not primitive perimiter defences. We talked about the benefits in this approach
Your Crystal Ball – How System Data Provides Actionable Insights
Nobel Systems User Conference, Ontario, CA
Traditional SCADA focuses on the here and now and help operators to have insights into their systesm. A cloud based system allows sophisticated data analytics with machine learning and AI that give managers additional insights.
It’s 2 AM: Do You know Where Your SCADA Backup Is?
Nevada Water Resources Association Annual Conference, Sparks, NV
A cloud SCADA system allows water system operators to focus on production, not IT tasks like proper back-up and restoration regimes. The cloud service provider performs these tasks
