GE Intelligent Platforms Announced that the City of Cincinnati's Metropolitan Sewer District Has Standardized its Proficy Software Platform for Optimizing Its Wet Weather Facilities, Equipment & Operations
GE Intelligent Platforms (NYSE: GE)announced that the City of Cincinnati's Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) has standardized its ProficySoftware platform for optimizing its wet weather facilities, equipment and operations. Proficy solutions will assist the city's management in bringing together disparate pieces of information about their wastewater system from remote locations to provide a system-wide view of what's really happening across their watersheds.
Cincinnati prides itself on being on the forefront of using technology to make things better in its community. The MSD will be working with GE Intelligent Platforms and its integration and solutions partner, Gray Matter Systems, located in Cincinnati, to apply Proficy Software to new and industry-leading solutions that can be replicated by other wastewater utilities faced with combined sewer overflows.
One of the key aims of the project is to aid in the reduction of discharges from combined sewer overflows as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Water Act. Under the Act, cities are required to reduce and, in some cases, stop releases of untreated wastewater into the environment through combined sewer overflows and sanitary sewer overflows. These requirements apply to every wastewater system in the country and have dramatic implications for systems in older communities which have significant overflow occurrences.
The MSD will be utilizing the full suite of Proficy Software including GE's Industrial Automation Solutions like Proficy iFIX, Historian and CSense, as well as the company's new mobile applications, such as Proficy Mobile to capture data on excess water produced during periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt, which can exceed the capacity of the sewer system or treatment plant and result in discharge of pollutants into nearby streams, rivers or other bodies of water. The city is also at the forefront by using Proficy Workflow integrated with its CMMS system for real-time condition-based asset management, creating work orders on the fly for faster response.
