Scene 1

Dam Automation: Integrating Sensors, PLC, SCADA & Web Monitoring

Revolutionizing water resource management through intelligent automation, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration of cutting-edge control technologies.

The Challenge: Managing Water Resources Efficiently and Safely. 

Scene 2

The Challenge: Managing Water Resources Efficiently and Safely

Manual dam gate control introduces delays and mistakes, particularly critical during emergency flood situations when split-second decisions matter most.

Uneven rainfall patterns and rapidly rising water levels demand continuous, precise control that human operators simply cannot provide 24/7.

Traditional systems lack centralized oversight and remote access capabilities, leaving operators blind to critical system status changes.

How It Works: From Sensor Data to Automated Gate Control

Multiple sensors feed continuous real-time measurements to the PLC for immediate processing and decision-making logic execution.

PLC analyzes sensor inputs using advanced ladder logic algorithms to determine optimal gate positions based on current and predicted conditions.

SCADA displays system status, active alarms, and trending data on intuitive control room screens for operator oversight and intervention.

Web interfaces enable authorized personnel to monitor operations and make control adjustments from any location with secure internet access.
