This is a WEFTEC Curated Short Course, compiled from the most topical and in-demand content from WEFTEC and other WEF events.
Asset management is an integral part of how a utility operates on a daily basis and plans for the future. Digital tools are a key aspect of understanding the condition of assets, solving operational challenges, and planning future improvements and upgrades. With the increased use and decreased cost of many digital solutions, trying to decide the useful applications through the hype is often tricky. In this short course, solution providers, consultants, and utilities provide ideas and share their experiences on many aspects of asset management using Internet of Things (IOT) technologies. Cut through the hype and learn how to make the most of current technologies to manage assets.
At the conclusion of this short course, participants will be able to
- explain how digital assets can provide valuable data that can be used to reduce maintenance costs, strengthen maintenance protocols, and optimize the overall system;
- describe ways your organization can be proactive and make decisions based on asset performance data;
- discern if Digital Twins are the future of WRRF operation or just another over-hyped technology; and
- give examples of ways to leverage combined Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), and Engineering Technology (ET) worlds.
This WEFTEC Curated Short Course consists of 3 learning modules (Asset Management Software Solutions; Digital Twins; Integrating Data Solutions) as well as some bonus content and additional resources. On completion of all three learning modules, learners will receive a badge that can be shared on networking sites such as LinkedIn.
