acron: The central platform for data processing at KASSELWASSER
In use since 2014 as an process data collection and long-term archive system at the municipal utility KASSELWASSER
In collaboration with the SEGNO integrators, an existing in-house product at KASSELWASSER was replaced. In this migration project, all process data since 2008 was successfully migrated from the legacy system. The acron software was chosen over alternative solutions because it stood out for its cost scalability, intuitive operation, flexibility, and exceptionally fast operating speed.
Real-time data from multiple sources
The Kassel wastewater plant, serving 340,000 population equivalents, operates a SCADA system for 24/7 process monitoring and control of plant components, as well as its own LIMS (Labor Information Management System) for analyzing water samples. Both systems provide real-time data to acron through direct or import interfaces. Additionally, data from the entire city area, 9 weather stations, 13 pumping stations, 11 stormwater retention basins, and a city lock are made available in real-time via OPC Data Access and import. Using the integrated formula editor, KASSELWASSER creates custom evaluations in calculation rules for reports or data queries.
