Case Study: Pinellas County achieves 30–40% faster engineering and real-time plant visibility with AVEVA (Wonderware)

Wonderware Helps Deliver Clean Water to Pinellas County

Pinellas County, which supplies drinking water and treats wastewater for nearly 1 million residents and millions of annual visitors, needed to replace an outdated, non‑Y2K‑compliant SCADA system and publish real‑time and historical plant information to the web. Pinellas County turned to AVEVA, deploying Wonderware System Platform, InTouch HMI, Wonderware Historian and ActiveFactory to provide a unified, centralized solution for visualization, plant history, device communications and reporting.

AVEVA’s Wonderware solution allowed rapid creation and deployment of customized HMIs, 24/7 remote access, streamlined data collection and ad‑hoc trending, enabling faster troubleshooting and reporting. Pinellas County reported 30–40% time savings in editing and changing screens, reduced labor, maintenance and engineering costs, achieved Y2K compliance, realized a return on its technology investment, and earned regional and national recognition for its innovative, effective programs.
