WATER UTILITY SCADA RESILIENCE

Independent Monitoring.
Immediate Alerts.
Reliable SCADA Backup.

Helping water utilities maintain visibility into critical assets with an additional layer of monitoring and backup communication.

How It Works Contact Us
Parallel Monitoring

Monitors critical assets in parallel with the primary SCADA system.

Immediate Alerts

Immediate alarms notify utility personnel when monitored conditions require attention.

Backup Communication

Provides additional visibility during temporary primary communication disruptions.

SCADA Co-Existence

An Additional Set of Eyes for Critical Utility Operations

Oversight Technologies works alongside existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) environments to provide added visibility into critical assets.

By monitoring key system information in parallel, utility personnel have another way to stay informed when conditions change or normal communications are interrupted. Oversight Technologies works alongside the existing SCADA environment rather than replacing the primary system.

Parallel Monitoring: Works alongside existing SCADA infrastructure to provide an additional layer of visibility.
Immediate Alerting: Provides immediate notification when monitored conditions require attention.
Backup Communication Path: Provides an additional means of checking critical assets during temporary interruptions to the primary SCADA radio network.

Core Fundamentals

Protect, Alert, Backup

Three core capabilities designed to provide additional monitoring, alerts, and backup communication alongside established SCADA systems.

PILLAR 01 Parallel Monitoring

Protect

Parallel Operational Visibility

Monitor critical assets in parallel with the primary SCADA environment to provide an additional layer of operational visibility.

  • Parallel monitoring alongside the existing SCADA environment
  • Additional visibility into selected critical utility assets
  • Works alongside existing SCADA infrastructure
Additional Monitoring Layer
PILLAR 02 Immediate Alerts

Alert

Immediate Alarm Notification

Provide utility personnel with immediate alarms so they can quickly verify critical assets when attention is required.

  • Immediate alarms when monitored conditions require attention
  • Notification of utility personnel responsible for monitored operations
  • Provides additional visibility during critical storage and pumping conditions
Immediate Alarm Notification
PILLAR 03 Backup Communication

Backup

Backup Communication

Maintain a reliable secondary communication method during temporary outages affecting the primary SCADA radio network.

  • Additional visibility during temporary primary SCADA radio interruptions
  • Additional operational awareness across distributed utility infrastructure
  • Backup communication pathway during primary disruptions

Target Infrastructure

Visibility Into the Assets That Matter

Oversight Technologies provides additional visibility into important utility infrastructure and operating information across your district.

Water Storage

Tank Levels

Maintain visibility into critical tank and water-storage level information.

Pump Operations

Pump Status

Monitor the operating status of important pumping infrastructure and selected pump information.

System Information

Critical Information

Track selected operating information that utility personnel depend on to evaluate field conditions.

Backup Visibility

Backup Communication

Maintain an additional means of checking critical assets during temporary interruptions affecting the primary SCADA radio network.

* Examples above are based on the types of critical utility information currently identified by Oversight Technologies.
Operational Workflow

Monitor. Detect. Alert. Respond.

Oversight Technologies adds another layer of visibility alongside existing infrastructure through a straightforward, resilient workflow.

STEP 01

Monitor

Observe selected critical asset information in parallel with the existing SCADA environment.

STEP 02

Detect

Identify conditions that require attention based on monitored system information.

STEP 03

Alert

Notify utility personnel so they can quickly check the affected asset or condition.

STEP 04

Respond

Provide personnel with additional visibility and a backup communication path during temporary radio outages.

System Resilience

Why Redundancy Matters

Water-utility operations depend on timely information from infrastructure distributed across large service areas. An additional monitoring and communication layer can help personnel preserve situational awareness when primary communications are interrupted.

Operational Awareness

Maintain additional visibility into important field assets and operating information across the utility service area.

Faster Response

Provide relevant information to utility personnel when monitored conditions require attention or verification.

Communication Resilience

Improve communication resilience by reducing dependence on a single primary communication pathway.

Added Confidence

Provide operating personnel with another source of information during temporary primary communication disruptions.
