Automatic control

The infrastructure in the sewer – such as weirs and aggregates – can also be specifically addressed via automated control, thus offering new potential for resource-saving operation. The basis for this is measurement technology installed in the canal. It functions as hardware on site, so to speak, because it collects data and forwards it to a control centre in an automated way. The transmission process is handled by modern, tried and tested network technology. The control centre evaluates the incoming measurement data in real time. Algorithms automatically analyse the condition and decide which processes are to be executed. The instructions are transmitted to the weirs and/or aggregates in the canal, which now raise or lower their gates accordingly and thus regulate the flow rate. Human intervention is only required when there are problems. And here, too, the systems report in good time so that dangers to the infrastructure can be averted early on. UHRIG also relies on complete systems for automated control. From planning to construction and production to software, everything comes from a single source. The systems are designed for the individual conditions on site and can be retrofitted at any time. We always hand over a complete turnkey service with a functional guarantee that includes state-of-the-art hardware and software solutions.
