Expanding Market for SCADA Systems in Water & Wastewater
ARC Advisory Group’s research reveals that the worldwide market for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for water & wastewater applications is expanding as new water infrastructure is constructed in emerging markets and newly developed regions. The existing water & wastewater monitoring and control infrastructure is also being upgraded to improve core business process efficiency. With the increasing demand for efficiency at water utilities, the importance of high-performance SCADA technology has grown. Leading suppliers are continuously upgrading their SCADA systems with intelligent software platforms that can deal with various requirements like on-premises, on the edge, and the cloud.
SCADA Systems for Water & Wastewater Industry Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the SCADA Systems for Water & Wastewater market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Articulate Needs in Terms of Outcomes
It is important not only for end users to understand their specific issues and needs, but also to be able to articulate the needs in terms of outcomes. Too often, end users translate their needs into technology, labor, and timing specifications. However, since many end users today have not been involved in a project for years, they are not current on all aspects of technology and thus are not well positioned to assemble the best solution of a vendor’s portfolio. Instead, specifications should be centered around solving the current and future foreseen challenges.
Develop a Sustainable Plan
Users need to work with their preferred suppliers to develop short and long-term plans. Because most facilities are run as an expense-based business, rather than as a profit center, it is crucial to be able to forecast the demands on the system. Plans should include:
- Considerations for available labor and labor expertise: End users should have a good handle on the labor and skillsets needed for their current systems and a plan for accommodating future workforce.
- Accommodation for water system capacity and growth: Systems and architecture should be easily expandable.
- Simplification of tasks and architecture: Leverage automation to reduce human involvement, which increases safety and quality. Also, reduce the number of different pieces of hardware, protocols, and software packages that require support.
Remote Capabilities
The water & wastewater industry should have real-time remote control and monitoring which will help utilities in receiving alarms and data from remote locations. SCADA systems with remote capabilities alleviate some of the monotonous day-to-day responsibilities and help in focusing on more productive tasks rather than frequently physically checking meters and tank levels. For the kind of data point modern SCADA systems provide, users are able to determine where optimization is needed to lower operational costs.
