Description
With the help of OSIsoft, the PI Integrator for Esri ArcGIS, and the PI Integrator for Business Analytics, the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) has embarked on a path to utilizing near real-time data to empower our organization to make well-informed decisions possible for our member communities and environment. We created an award-winning “Wet Weather Map” that provides mobile access to operators in the field, enabling responsive decision-making. We also partnered with University of Michigan to develop a near-real time model that informs how to improve in-system capacity and operations efficiency including use of our inflatable storage dams and gates. The operational improvements have been estimated to result in significant savings.
