Introduction
City of San Luis Obispo
Water/Wastewater
iFIX
Proficy HMI / SCADA
The City of San Luis Obispo’s Water Department consists of five divisions that move water to and from the city. The divisions consist of a water treatment plant, waste water treatment plant, waste water collections, water distribution system, and a reservoir.
Challenges
Five divisions, five separate SCADA systems
The city was managing its water divisions in siloed systems that weren’t capturing all the necessary data needed on how the water equipment is running. The systems also did not include any alarming or trending capabilities, so the city often relied on its customers to notify them of any issues.
Solutions
Standardizing iFIX for optimal plant processes

Results
Real-time monitoring for immediate operator response
The City of San Luis Obispo was able to increase operator efficiency and improve reliability, as it serves residents and businesses with clean, safe water with GE Digital's HMI/SCADA’s iFIX solution.
