his case study highlights how a water treatment plant modernized its operations with AdiCloudX IoT Platform and AdiNexus IoT Gateway. By enabling real-time monitoring of pumps, motors, and water quality, automating compliance reporting, and introducing predictive maintenance, the plant reduced downtime, improved energy efficiency, and ensured reliable water supply. With secure remote access and scalable deployment, AdiCloudX transformed the plant into a smarter, more sustainable operation.
The Challenges
Challenges
The water treatment plant was facing multiple operational difficulties:
Limited real-time visibility of pumps, motors, and water quality parameters
Manual logging and reporting, making compliance and audits time-consuming
Unplanned downtime due to pump failures and irregular maintenance schedules
Energy inefficiencies from overconsumption during peak hours
Lack of a centralized monitoring system across distributed facilities
Impact on Operations
- Slower response to critical issues
- Reduced ability to optimize performance
- Increased unplanned downtime and higher costs
- Delays in decision-making and performance reviews
- Higher complexity and maintenance effort
Our Approach
AdiCloudX was deployed with AdiNexus Gateways to connect existing PLCs, sensors, and control systems. Our solution focused on:
-
Real-time Monitoring – Flow, pressure, turbidity, and water quality data captured and displayed in dashboards
-
Predictive Maintenance – Early detection of pump and motor anomalies through vibration and energy consumption analysis
-
Automated Reporting – Compliance-ready audit logs and regulatory reports generated instantly
-
Remote Access – Secure access for engineers and managers via web and mobile devices
-
Energy Optimization – Intelligent scheduling and analytics to balance energy loads and improve efficiency
