WIMS
Water and Wastewater Management System
WIMS is a multifunctional database that helps facilitate data requests and reporting to environmental agencies. Through the use of a dashboard a plant operator can view KPIs and other data being imported into the database. At SJCUD we currently have 9 wastewater plants and 6 water plants actively using and reporting through the Hach WIMS software.
Compliance and Process Control
- Provides a single database to analyze, create, and manage water quality
- Customizable reporting to enhance DMR and MOR submission
- Eliminates multiple data source errors (Ex. spreadsheets, formulas...hard copy)
- Gives plant operators value in their day to day functions
LIMS/Lab Integration
- Autoscribe ODBC Driver to read analyte codes within WIMS
- Lab results are available directly after the technician certifies the result
- Eliminates the probability of lost/late sample recording
- Helps operators modify the plant process throughout the month
SCADA Integration
- Trihedral ODBC Driver
- Used primarily for reading data at a specific time each day
- Built-in functions for analyzing your SCADA readings (Ex. total, average...max)
- Allows comparison between instrument and field collected data
- Future uses: pump readings, and real time analysis
In the Works
- Implement Claros Collect for mobile data collection
- Add Hastings WTP to complete all treatment plants
- Develop utility-wide tools for chemical usage and facility management to identify potential cost savings
Administration
- Adding new users
- Customizing entry forms
- Monthly review with compliance to modify formulas/reports
- 40% development; 60% customization
