Integrating SCADA data as part of an asset management strategy

The PowerPoint presentation is on the integration of SCADA data as part of an asset management strategy in Dwr Cymru, a Welsh water service company. The benefits of the business solution of integrating SCADA with SAP include: having a single source for asset data providing data consistency, data quality, and clear and auditable processes; providing an integration point for multiple data sources from mobile, SCADA, power, DMS and alarms; providing a platform for developing complex decision support tools to optimise the business operation; and providing `one-truth´ across the extended organisation. Telemetry/SCADA is used to gather instrument and meter readings, status changes, and alarms. The response types and the SAP work orders are described. The barriers to the success of the integration, as well as the benefits, are provided.
