Standardised Remote Control for Water and Wastewater Sites

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of Ovarro’s Kingfisher CP-35 remote telemetry units (RTUs) across the Hawke’s Bay region in New Zealand. The local councils sought a unified telemetry solution to replace outdated programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and improve operational efficiency across their water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The Kingfisher RTUs were previously successful in Auckland, leading to their selection for deployment in Hawke’s Bay. The case study outlines the operational benefits of the Kingfisher CP-35, including accelerated system deployment, reduced risk of failures, and improved staff management. It also highlights the modularity and flexibility of the RTUs, which allowed for compatibility with existing infrastructure, thereby reducing costs and speeding up the rollout process. The document concludes with a statement from a local council representative affirming the successful implementation of the standardised solution.
