Smart Water and Wastewater SCADA Monitoring

3D SCADA for water treatment and wastewater plants. Monitor pumps, reservoirs and dosing in real time via Modbus TCP and OPC UA.

Water and wastewater networks involve treatment works, pumping stations, reservoirs and lift stations spread across a service area, often monitored through separate systems that were installed years apart. Kingfisher brings the whole network into one 3D view in the browser, so operators see the network as it physically exists rather than as a list of sites.

What you can monitor

  • Treatment process: clarifiers, filtration stages, aeration basins, sludge handling
  • Chemical dosing: dosing pump status, tank levels, residual measurements, alarm states
  • Pumping stations: duty and standby pump status, runtime balancing, wet well levels, flow rates
  • Reservoirs and storage: level trends, turnover, overflow and low-level alarms
  • Lift stations: remote site status, pump faults, high-level alarms across the network
  • Network instrumentation: flow meters, pressure sensors and water quality analysers

Sites can be modelled individually and rolled up into a network-level overview, so a control room sees both the individual works and the system as a whole.

How it connects

Water utilities typically standardise on Modbus TCP for plant instrumentation and pump controllers, which Kingfisher supports natively. OPC UA is supported for sites running a modern SCADA or historian layer, Siemens S7 where pumping stations run Siemens controllers, and Modbus RTU covers older serial devices and remote telemetry units still in service.

Why 3D for water specifically

Water treatment is a process that people find genuinely hard to hold in their heads. Flow moves through stages, chemistry changes at each one, and the consequences of a fault at the inlet appear downstream some time later. A 3D representation of the works, with live values on the equipment itself, shortens how long it takes a new operator to become useful and makes handover between shifts more reliable.

For distributed networks, the spatial view matters for a second reason. When three lift stations alarm at once, seeing where they are on the network usually tells you whether you have three faults or one rainfall event.
