IDModeling Inc. is deploying its flagship smart water enterprise software, Sedaru, for the city of Santa Ana (Calif.) Public Works Agency. Sedaru creates and distributes hydraulic, asset and operational management content so utilities can anticipate water operations, understand impacts and solve problems for energy, quality, water resource and asset management initiatives.
At rollout, the city benefits from an operational water system model within Sedaru’s real-time, turnkey smart water operating platform. The city will interact with Sedaru’s predictive analytics to apply critical decision support data to prioritize main replacement, coordinate outage response, pinpoint capacity deficiencies and identify optimal flushing locations.
These predictive analytics will support the city’s water master planning process and day-to-day operational strategies, with real-time data from hydraulics, SCADA and maintenance, thereby saving the city money and resources. The city will be able to measure overall effectiveness in relation to its customers, as automated key performance indicators in Sedaru, ultimately allowing for both immediate operational and longer-term asset management benefits.
"We are excited about deploying Sedaru, and look forward to utilizing it to perform water model simulations, and monitor and analyze field operations in real-time. These tools will allow our whole agency to better respond to ever-changing field conditions through improved coordination and a better overall understanding of how our water system behaves," said Rudy Rosas, P.E., senior civil engineer at the city of Santa Ana Public Works Agency.
