Case Study: Vaasan Vesi achieves higher reliability and uninterrupted water services with AVEVA (Wonderware) solution

City of Vaasa Gets Quick Upgrade to Higher Reliability and Functionality with Wonderware Solution

Vaasan Vesi, the City of Vaasa’s water and wastewater utility in Finland, needed to modernize its automation and control systems to support a growing, sustainability-focused municipality while ensuring continuous service and easy maintenance. Vaasan Vesi engaged AVEVA (using Wonderware InTouch HMI, Wonderware System Platform and Wonderware Historian) to replace legacy controls with a PC-based, PLC-driven architecture that would provide high availability, decentralized monitoring and robust reporting without any service interruptions during the upgrade.

AVEVA’s Wonderware-based solution was deployed over an Ethernet and fiber network with seven PLC process stations, distributed substations, mobile workstations and SMS alarm integration, providing real-time visualization, historian-based reporting and secure remote access. The upgrade was completed ahead of schedule (in eight months) with no shutdowns and no customer complaints during rollout; management gained reliable, easy-to-expand control, improved data backup and security, and faster field operations thanks to AVEVA’s system.
