A regional water treatment facility dedicated to delivering safe water through efficient and compliant system. Facing rising costs and limited functionality from legacy SCADA systems, the organization partnered with ITHENA to implement an Ignition-based modernization. The result was enhanced reliability, significant cost savings, and a secure, future-proof system architecture.
Ignition has completely modernized our operations. We now have a scalable, cost-effective, and secure system that gives us the visibility and flexibility we’ve long needed.
Director of Operations
Legacy SCADA, rising costs.
Licensing and maintenance costs were high, and the architecture blocked upgrades.
- High licensing and maintenance costs tied to their legacy SCADA/HMI systems
- Limited scalability and rigid architecture restricting future upgrades
- Absence of remote monitoring hindered effective system performance tracking
- Increased cybersecurity risks due to outdated software
- Lack of integration across key operational systems
