Challenge	MultiTrode, a company dedicated to providing advanced solutions to municipal water and wastewater authorities, needed a robust SCADA system for their Outpost 2 product. The system needed to be designed specifically for the needs of water and wastewater networks, and include a graphical interface, alarming & trending, a datastore and reporting interface, a master telemetry unit, and remote telemetry units. The system also needed to be open and powerful, interfacing directly with MultiTrode pump controllers and RTUs to provide valuable information from every site. The system also needed to be easy to use, reducing operational and engineering costs by minimizing the need for site visits while improving asset performance. Read More

MultiTrode's Outpost 2 product is an open and powerful SCADA system designed for the water/wastewater industry. The system interfaces directly with MultiTrode pump controllers and RTUs, providing a wealth of valuable information from every site. Read More
Solution	MultiTrode deployed the GENESIS32™ OPC Web-enabled HMI/SCADA suite from ICONICS for their Outpost 2 product. The system includes graphic screens (the HMI [human machine interface]), trends, alarms, and reporting. More advanced users can appreciate multiple other features of GENESIS32 such as drag and drop ActiveX controls for trends and alarms. Users can go into configuration mode, drag an alarm ActiveX onto a page and go back into runtime mode in a few seconds. The same can be done with trend screens. Data points on a screen can be simply dragged onto a trends window to instantly start trending. Alternatively, users can browse through OPC tags and select the ones that are required. Historical tags can be selected just as easily. And all this can be done while the SCADA system is running. Customers can also benefit from additional ICONICS modules for PDAs (via PocketGENESIS™), Mobile Phones (via MobileHMI™), Advanced Reporting (via ReportWorX™), Web-based Organization Portals (via PortalWorX™), and Visual OEE/KPIs/Analysis (via BizViz™ Productivity Analytics).
