WATERNSW AND ADASA SYSTEMS
WaterNSW partnerships are critically important , including our partnership with ADASA Systems . “ It ' s been a really strong partnership ,” says Robinson . “ ADASA Systems did some work , which was groundbreaking in our dam safety area . With our engineering team , we initiated a project where we took real-time data from field measurements , collected by people using a mobile device or by telemetry or SCADA systems and loaded it into the data lake . That data is analysed to provide alarms triggered by measurement thresholds within the analytics engine . Dam engineers are then able to quickly filter the huge amounts of data coming back from dam surveillance points and identify risks at dams that need to be further investigated . ADASA is continuing to expand the capability of the analytics with AI driven thresholds on risk thresholds that refine the alarms and reduce the noise from the data . Increasingly , dam engineers are able to spend more time investigating real anomalies rather than trying to find anomalies in a mountain of data .
One of the great aspects of ADASA Systems is it brings great water knowledge . They ' re a Spanish company with expertise in the Spanish water market which has similarities with the Australian climate , and they bring a rare combination of deep water knowledge combined with excellence in information technology development . This allows them to transform our use of data and to do this by showing us through MVPs and real software showcases ”
Adding to Robinson ’ s comments , Langdon says , “ They have been great . I think they have challenged us , which has been really positive in terms of how we ' ve actually approached information management . Our WaterInsights product has allowed us to create information in a way that people can understand .”
