Brock is working with MVWA to develop a future SCADA Water strategy that is practical, innovative and based on industry best-practices. Developing this strategy encompasses reviewing the current landscape, talking to a variety of stakeholders across the organization, working with our industry partners, and bringing a best of breed approach that addresses the MVWA’s specific needs and goals.
The strategy will include plans for upgrading legacy automation and SCADA technology, and control networking environment with modern technology that takes into account cyber secure platforms and devices.
