STEP is an application designed for real-time remote monitoring of control parameters, providing efficient and safe operation and remote monitoring of water and wastewater treatment systems.
With a macro view of your plant and secure cloud data storage with easy, intuitive access in the palm of your hand.
STEP is the ultimate app for controlling water and wastewater treatment plants!
STEP is a digital solution that incorporates software and Big Data into Grupo EP‘s 360º solution concept, with transparency and real-time control of water treatment, effluent and water reuse systems, whether your plant is automated or manually operated.
Through operational data, the digital solution, which incorporates software and Big Data with the 360º solution concept, starts to record, STEP starts to receive records manually or by automation (IOT), the operation and maintenance (O&M) of stations starts to be monitored, in real time and autonomously, so that their performance is in line with the established control parameters.
Through the main panel, you can access the main information about your treatment plant, such as: readings taken, media generated, indicator graphs, input consumption, among others.
At the MoninAs a global reference in syrups and flavors, the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is a critical asset. The heart of this system is the microbiota – living organisms that treat the waste and depend directly on the constant oxygenation provided by the Air Blowers.
An undetected breakdown in this equipment can lead to a total collapse of the biological system within a few hours. The consequences are drastic: weeks of low production, extremely high recovery costs and the risk of environmental sanctions.
To mitigate this risk, Monin implemented the STEP. Through intelligent sensors and constant monitoring, the system now supervises the blowers’ operational health 24 hours a day.
The Critical Event: During an operational failure, both air blowers stopped simultaneously. At the same moment, the STEP:
Rapid intervention guided by STEP data averted what would have been a financial and logistical disaster for the plant.
Costs avoided with the intervention:
Monin’s case demonstrates that digital transformation on the shop floor goes beyond technology: it’s about operational safety and capital preservation. With STEP, what would have been a financial crisis has become nothing more than a successful maintenance record.
STEP, incorporated into the operation of treatment systems, has proved to be a powerful tool for more assertive management, providing agility in problem solving, system evaluation, identification and application of process improvements, being the digital solution that incorporates software and Big Data with the concept of the 360º solution.
The EP Tech unit is responsible for developing software to solve operationally complex problems in water and wastewater treatment systems, as well as for other facilities.
It uses programming, automation and big data analysis to guarantee control and excellence in the services provided by EP Tech.
