Cost-efficient smart solutions for wastewater disposal companies - More digitized wastewater systems for more efficient operations.

The special requirements in wastewater treatment call for an innovative and state-of-the-art system for real-time operation and observation as well as for the acquisition and recording of all relevant parameters. Our wastewater 4.0 solutions with audako allow you to better and faster detect the effects of water quality and quantity events. audako has all the mechanisms to integrate measurement and status values. The collected data is gathered in the audako platform. audako generates intelligent information from this data and makes it available visually. You can tap into potential savings, decision support and planning processes on this basis. Operating costs can thus be saved, which are caused by automated meter reading.

Wastewater treatment makes a considerable contribution to the protection and preservation of our waters. During wastewater treatment, many pollutants can arise for the environment, which are avoided thanks to modern technology. In water pollution control, the best way to avoid substance discharges is through so-called point sources. This is what audako can do with efficient water protection monitoring. audako continuously provides you with information on groundwater level, water quality and sensor values, which are processed fully automatically in the water protection monitoring system. There are remote control functions for targeted monitoring of inflows and outflows in the event of waterlogging, so that the discharge of mixed water into watercourses is reduced. You can also integrate environmental and weather data into the platform for further forecasting and decision-making.

By bundling the functions of a remote control system and audako Edge Gateways, a cost-effective digital data transport medium is achieved that offers you a wide range of possible applications. The compact solution is suitable for centralized and decentralized use in critical infrastructure areas due to its reliable and secure communication. With the flexible combination options, countless manufacturer-independent control systems can be connected. Our audako Edge Gateway devices are physical devices with integrated IoT technology. It serves as a connection point between the cloud, controllers and meters. An audako Edge Gateway can process data locally, compressing server capacity, which reduces network transmission costs. It is a simple and cost-effective IoT technology for networking.

audako offers users an intelligent alerting system for plant, process and operational monitoring with the ability to respond to faults on all end devices, regardless of location. Critical events such as system alarms and alarm cascades are transmitted to on-call services thanks to intelligent alerting with mail, SMS, push messages or voice calls as the medium. These applications can be managed via management tools. It gets even better: integrate a camera to support you by providing visual control around the clock. Images of the actual and target status can be compared and archived. In the event of deviations or malfunctions, escalation steps are defined in the alarm plan. You save yourself cost-intensive routine checks and measurements. In addition, you increase operational reliability through short monitoring times and weather-independent control frequency.

The audako IoT Edge Gateway technology in combination with cloud-based applications enables better visualization of remote outdoor structures, as data information can be displayed platform-independently. Data can be accessed not only from a central computer, but also from mobile devices such as smartphones, notebooks and tablets. The local search for faults no longer becomes a major time killer. This allows you to localize and rectify faults more quickly. In addition, audako provides you with intelligent recommendations for action. You can provide individually configurable on-call schedulers for coordinating employees. audako helps automate manual processes and enables more efficient management of maintenance and repair workflows.

Wastewater treatment plants generate the most energy consumption in the municipal wastewater management sector and thus the most CO2 emissions. The current Water Resources Act requires that wastewater treatment plants be built and operated in accordance with the state of the art, and energy efficiency is one criterion of this. According to the Wastewater Ordinance, wastewater treatment plants should be constructed, operated and used in a way that enables energy-efficient operation (Bundestag, 2016). It should be noted here that the optimization of wastewater systems in favor of energy optimization must not result in pollution of the water body. With audako, you get an end-to-end solution from a single source to visualize, analyze and optimize process-relevant plant data and ultimately manage the best possible individual energy concept.

Wastewater treatment plants, stormwater overflow basins and the sewer network play an important role in water protection. All events and occurrences must be securely archived and documented to make the effectiveness of the facilities transparent. The start, end, duration and frequency of waterlogging, discharge, maximum water level, discharged quantities and many other parameters can be evaluated and output in standard-compliant reports and evaluations. For example, daily, monthly and annual reports can be generated. The audako platform generates reports from the collected data, among others according to ATV-H260 and DWA-M260. All collected data is clearly presented in web, Excel or PDF reports and made available for download. Any number of layouts as well as compilations can be created.
