Bentley’s WaterGEMS, Integrated With GIS and SCADA Technology, Delivers Money-Saving, Automated Decision Tool for Westernport Water

Bentley’s WaterGEMS, Integrated With GIS and SCADA Technology, Delivers Money-Saving, Automated Decision Tool for Westernport Water: WaterGEMS water distribution modeling software, integrated with Open Spatial’s geographic information system (GIS) and Control Microsystems’ supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), to cost-effectively operate and manage more than $43 million in water assets. The SCADA system allows field-measured data to be brought directly into WaterGEMS using the modeling software’s SCADAConnect and Darwin Calibrator modules. The SCADAConnect technology with real-time updates will save Westernport Water approximately $80,000 in calibration costs. Prior to deploying this system, Westernport Water annually engaged the services of external contractors to manually upgrade and calibrate the water model.
