APPA Member on Survalent
“With the SmartSCADA® package, each employee is able to access the system remotely via a laptop computer and respond quickly to outage calls, monitor power supply voltage, and track system loading. Our outage response time has decreased dramatically, and we are able to monitor our system loading more closely. We usually know of a breaker tripping or a transmission outage before the first call comes in. I wish such an affordable SCADA package had been available to us years ago.”
--Tim Montague, Superintendent, Bremen, Ind., Electric Department
