"The City of Bunbury is proud to be leading the way, both in WA and across the country, in its efforts to implement smart and innovative technology to make the City safer, more efficient and more sustainable.”
- Mal Osborne, Chief Executive Officer
The City of Bunbury has eleven emergency pump stations and floodgates, which it maintains and operates. The infrastructure are considered critical assets, as the Preston River flows across the Bunbury township and a major flood occurred in 1964.
The City of Bunbury was looking to update it's historical SCADA system and connect these assets to a platform so they could be controlled and monitored remotely.
IoT sensors and devices were installed at each of the pump stations and connected into VROC's IoT platform, OASIS.
Data is sent from each of the pumps to the platform for real time monitoring, and alerts were established so that the Operations team received notifications if the pump stations had any faults or failures.
The City of Bunbury can now remotely monitor and control these critical systems, greatly improving the efficiencies of the Operations team, who previously conducted manual routine checks.
The Council is alerted in the case of any failure, helping them plan interventions and ensure the adequate performance of these critical assets.
Gain real-time visibility, predict failure earlier, optimize performance, and take control of your operations with VROC’s integrated solutions.
