4.  Rapidly Changing Operating Environment
 Increased production requirements
 Increased regulatory and reporting
requirements
 Controlling Water Losses
 A need to know more, monitor more, and
analyse more about everything
 More information needed very rapidly
 Analyse operations, ensure targets are
met and ensure indicators are monitored
 Time constrains
Water Management Challenges

5. Water & Wastewater Challenges
 Water Quality
 Water and Wastewater Treatment
 Water Distribution
 Desalination
 Costs
 Power
 Chemicals
 Equipment Maintenance
 Environmental Reporting
 Government
 Public Information
 Planning and Budgeting

6. Water & Wastewater Challenges
 Energy Management
 Optimise power consumption
 Incorporate energy pricing
 Chemical Usage
 Optimise chemical usage
 Minimise costs
 Maintain quality levels
 Waste reduction
 Equipment Monitoring
 Faster & Better Reporting

7. Maintaining Water Supply
 Managing the available water
Monitor dam levels
Monitor consumption
Identify water losses
Weather data
 Minimising equipment
breakdowns
Track pump/motor usage on-
line accurately
Monitor valve wear on-line
Identify scaling in pipes

8. Challenges and Strategies
 Water is a critical resource
 Water projects sustainability is effected by the
challenges in water management
 Increased demand for quality, quantity and faster
access of Information
 The information to maintain your investments
shall be immediate and easy available, accurate
and reliable.
 Strategies to Connect and Redefine Business
through Information
 Reduce Layers of Management
 Controlling Efficiency and Environmental
performance
 Preservation of our water resources

10. Process Information

11. What is the ?
 PI is a real time Information Management System
 The human link to connect to the local and
global real time information for better decisions
 PI integrates real time data from more than 300
different sources & applications
 PI stores high resolution real time data on-line
for years
 PI delivers critical real time data to everyone in
the enterprise for better decision making
All Data
Any Time
Any Location
Any Device

12. Integration and Visualization
INTEGRATION: ALL DATA
INTEGRATION LOCAL & GLOBAL COMMUNICATION:
ALL DATA, ANY TIME, ANY LOCATION, ON ANY DEVICE
INTEGRATION PEOPLE:
• SINGLE WINDOW
• SAME LOOK & FEEL
• INTERACTIVE & SELFSTRUCTURING

15. How does the help?
 PI protects your investments by
integrating and visualizing information
 PI integrates systems and applications
and creates unity
 PI connects people with knowledge,
provides human access to all information
 PI increases your predictive capability
and your speed to respond
Result: Better decisions
Higher efficiency
Lower Cost

16. Benefits of the .
 Instant access to both real time and historical
data for review, analysis and reporting
 Fast trouble shooting of problems with accurate
data in trends, reports and graphics.
 The ability to analyze all operations and better
understand and improve the processes
 Automate all reporting and have reports
generated on demand
 View and review real time data and historical
data from any Microsoft WINDOWS PC
 Instant access to real time & historical data for
every flow, level, pressure, temperature,etc and
for all equipment status like auto, manual, on,
off, etc.

17. Benefits
