Siemens helps Lushan Water Plant achieve smart upgrading

Jiangxi Lushan has a series of halos such as national scenic spots, international cultural heritage, and national 5A-level tourist attractions. Here, water brings spirituality to the mountain, and has also become the source of life for tens of thousands of people in Guling Town, the central scenic area of Lushan Mountain, at an altitude of 1,167 meters.

Siemens helps Lushan Water Plant achieve smart upgrading

In 2020, the Lushan Waterworks, located in this small town in the clouds, launched the water supply renovation project of "Lushan Intelligent Travel Construction and Improvement of Scenic Area Infrastructure", and launched the construction of intelligent water for the traditional water plant that supplies 25,000 tons of water per day, so as to better take care of this pure land with digital power.

As the integrator of this intention, Jiangxi Sanding Intelligent Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jiangxi Sanding) has initiated the adoption of Siemens' new future-oriented process control channel SIMATIC PCS neo, which not only brings tangible value to the Lushan Waterworks, but also opens up a new horizon for the digital application transformation of this industry.

The SIMATIC PCS neo process control channel adopted by the Lushan Waterworks not only includes high-quality water sources such as reservoirs around the scenic spot and Lulin Lake, but also includes the pipe network distributed in Lushan and various purification equipment in the water plant. This means, first and foremost, that the data collected by these scattered and potentially unattended devices needs to be integrated into the control channel.

In this fundamental architecture, Jiangxi Sanding considers more how to use the PCS neo channel based on the web, so as to give full play to its open characteristics, so that data can be blended and invented in a higher-level IT system.

As an electrical automation engineering integrator and national high-tech enterprise with experience in a number of large-scale projects in the field of municipal and water affairs, Jiangxi Sanding has established a set of cloud-based MySQL database for water plant projects and provides relevant water plant data reports.

However, the question is, in addition to the usual centralized data supervision, can Jiangxi Sanding go further in the Lushan project?

For example, the full integration of engineering configuration and programming data, appearance data, and equipment status data can be achieved, and the original simple data center will be expanded into a real monitoring center, which can be freely switched in a consistent interface, and even the control target can be adjusted and optimized.

Of course, how to accelerate the efficiency of automation engineering through parallel collaborative planning is also something that Jiangxi Sanding needs to consider.

Due to the use of centralized goal-oriented data management form, PCS neo can gather all kinds of engineering configuration intermediate data, equipment data and process data into the upper centralized monitoring screen, water plant operators can switch views at any time in the centralized monitoring room, and only need to click the mouse to visit each application subprogram, truly complete the integration of OT and IT from data to interface.

Similarly, according to the consistency of the consistent database and data, Jiangxi Sanding adopted the collaborative operation according to the Web in the project development process, that is, the operation was carried out in parallel according to the hierarchical authorization form.

Each engineer only needs an account and password, as well as a credit certificate, and can enter the operation in the form of web visit through the arbitrary terminal anytime and anywhere, without the need for client installation. In addition, the results of each project can also be published and shared with other participants, so that the efficiency of the entire project intent project can be increased by 70%.

The full integration of OT and IT brings great innovative value to the digital operation and maintenance of water plants in the later stage. For the operation of water sources and water distribution pipe networks with relatively scattered addresses and an increasing degree of automation, the challenges of traditional O&M are high labor costs, inconvenient access, and inability to accurately judge and troubleshoot faults in a timely manner.

SIMATIC PCS neo centralizes operation and engineering data into a central monitoring channel through web access, supports long-distance monitoring on mobile terminals, makes it easier for operators to handle equipment and deal with equipment failures in a timely manner, completes transparent and digital O&M management of water plants, and then reduces the O&M costs of the water plant control center.

Its built-in standardized and modular programming library makes the renovation and expansion of the water plant easier and more convenient, and can be completed after copying and posting, laying the foundation for the future digital construction of the water plant.

Through cooperation with Siemens, Jiangxi Sanding can bring more value-added services to water plant users. The use of the new channel of Siemens SIMATIC PCS neo not only completes the function of real-time data supervision for users, but also helps water plants that need O&M support to reduce O&M costs and risk costs.

Whether it is the future project scale expansion, equipment upgrading or process optimization and other tasks, Jiangxi Sanding can also rely on its rich experience in water plant process automation, with Siemens' advanced digital solutions, and even assist water plant users to complete the process efficiently and with high quality without downtime.

SIMATIC PCS neo is not only a future-oriented and more responsive and open channel for process control, but also means new business forms, new development opportunities and new ways of collaboration for water integrators and plant users.

According to the digital planning concept, the channel adopts various IT-oriented innovative technologies to make the interconnection and integration of the entire OT and IT simpler, more convenient to use, more sensitive to expansion, and safer to the system, bringing efficient and low-consumption water plant operation value.
