Water and wastewater treatment plant managers, engineers and operators have the very serious responsibilities of ensuring that drinking water is safe and that treated effluent does not harm the environment. Failing to meet those mandates at the very least can result in substantial fines as well as negative publicity for the utility. More serious consequences might even include public health crises, large-scale aquatic species kills in streams or bodies of water, or long-term contamination of groundwater resources.
Proficy Historian provides a first line of defense against regulatory nonconformances by improving system visibility both in the present and historically, providing context to the raw data from throughout the system, and aggregating disparate islands of data.
A strong line of defense against uncharacteristic influent, adverse environmental conditions affecting the treatment process, equipment malfunctions or other plant upsets that could result in nonconformance is the ready access by operators to clear standard operating procedures. Proficy for Utilities–Water Operations is a Proficy Workflow-based solution pack that assures that every operator has the detailed process and operations instructions needed to handle any situation, thus assuring predictable operation of the treatment plant and consistent regulatory compliance.

The vast amount of information continually increases, and it's imperative for companies to truly understand and control their manufacturing operations by efficiently collecting critical data and maximizing its value. Optimized data enables better and faster decision-making, increased productivity and reduced costs.
