In this webinar, learn about two municipal water districts that upgraded to SCADA systems with unlimited clients, tags, and connections, built on an innovative controls platform with deeply embedded cyber security. Don Pearson, chief strategy officer of Inductive Automation, and Albert Rooyakkers, CEO of Bedrock Automation, will have an informative discussion with Dee Brown, principal of Brown Engineers, the award-winning integration firm that implemented new systems combining Ignition and Bedrock Automation technologies for water districts in Clarksville, Ark., and Russellville, Ark. Since switching to new Ignition SCADA systems with secure Bedrock controllers, both water districts have experienced great results and plan to expand their use in the future.

15. Combined Benefits of Ignition & Bedrock
Seamless combination of excellent hardware & software,
featuring:
• Open technologies & standards
• Intrinsic security
• The lowest TCO

16. Addressing Industry Challenges
• Challenge: Need for modernization and stronger security
• Solution: The most comprehensive security for hardware
and software, and bringing IT technologies to controls

17. Addressing Industry Challenges
• Challenge: Limited funding/capital
• Solution: Best possible TCO, use opex instead of capex

18. Addressing Industry Challenges
• Challenge: Need improved control and better information
• Solution: Connect with practically any device or system,
see it in one place, and develop with it.

19. Addressing Industry Challenges
• Challenge: Need to move away from proprietary solutions; flexibility
and choice in technology suppliers
• Solution: Use an open solution that runs on almost any OS and built
for flexibility and scalability in the future

20. Two Use Cases
• Clarksville Light & Water Co. in Clarksville, AR
• Russellville Water & Sewer System in Russellville, AR

21. 30-Day SCADA Challenge, 2013

22. About Clarksville Light & Water
Separate Utility Board –
• By decision of City Council in 1947
• Autonomy from elected officials
• To operate it like the business ... that it is
• Council still has “regulatory” oversight
• Assigning board members
• Approve issuing debt
• Approving rates
• Not-for-profit rates

23. FY 2016 Capex Included Major Tech Upgrades
CLW Fiber Network
• 16+ miles, 288 strands, excess capacity
• Most of the expense was labor not material
• Made economic sense to build with excess capacity
• Redundant rings, designed for reliability
• Self-healing features
• Connected to CLW facilities
• 4 Electric Subs &
• 1 SWPA grid tie sub (Wireless)
• Main Office
• Operations Center
• West Water Tower
• Water Treatment
• Pollution control
• Also have wireless communications to Water Tower

warranty, and added peace-of-mind with cybersecurity.
• The combination of Ignition and Bedrock offer unprecedented
capabilities; two companies working together to deliver the solutions that
the industry needs.

41. Working to Help Water Districts
Inductive + Bedrock
• More data = well-informed decisions
• Improving security = greater peace of mind
• Better control of operations = identify and fix problems faster
