Yarra Valley Water benefits from mobile SCADA system

Yarra Valley Water, the largest of Melbourne's three water corporations, installed a new SCADA system that allows them to better monitor distributed assets, perform predictive and reactive maintenance, and respond to incidents, such as environmental spills, more rapidly. Says Roger Brown, SCADA & Control Systems Manager, "[Before,] we averaged 150 SCADA incidents per month. Within 4 months this had reduced to less than 50. . . . External support costs dropped by more than 50%.”
