VTScada at The City Of Lethbridge – A VTScada Wastewater Case Study When Lee Allen learned that the SCADA software for the City of Lethbridge’s primary wastewater treatment facility would not support future operating systems, he went looking for a scalable platform that would. After discovering VTScada online, he downloaded a trial and got started. Within a few weeks he had new fully featured application that included high performance graphics, an enterprise historian, and could easily be expanded to include other parts of their process such as the septic truck drop off system. Best of all the new system was commissioned in a day and the conversion cost about a tenth of what it would have taken to upgrade the old system. |
