Carson City Public Works

Carson City modernizes its public works with AVEVA solutions

Carson City Public Works uses a complete AVEVA suite — CONNECT, SCADA Software Solution, AVEVA InTouch HMI, AVEVA Mobile Reporting, SmartGlance Mobile Reports, AVEVA System Platform and Historian — to provide 24/7 industrial monitoring of the city's water, wastewater, transportation, landfill, fleet, and environmental and renewable energy systems. The challenge was to provide citizens and visitors with reliable, affordable services while reducing administrative costs and overhead. By leveraging the latest virtualization technologies, including iPads and smartphones, Carson City has boosted operator efficiency, increased situational awareness and significantly improved the reliability of its operations and its disaster recovery processes, becoming a true Smart City example.

FAQ

How is AVEVA CONNECT transforming Smart City management?
AVEVA CONNECT is a cloud platform that centralizes the city's operational data. For Carson City, it enables 24/7 supervision of water, wastewater, transportation, fleet and renewable energy systems from any iPad or smartphone. This mobility has cut operator hours by 15% thanks to reduced travel time and enabled a move to a four-day work week. Cloud-based industrial supervision is becoming a standard for modern Smart Cities.
How do AVEVA SCADA and InTouch HMI improve situational awareness?
AVEVA SCADA Software Solution combined with InTouch HMI gives Carson City operators contextual visualization of the 22 million gallons of water distributed and 6.9 million gallons of wastewater treated every day. The standardized graphical interface makes it possible to quickly identify anomalies and prioritize interventions. This situational awareness is essential for simultaneously managing infrastructure as diverse as water, transportation, landfills and solar plants producing 748,000 kWh/year.
What role does AVEVA Historian play in a city's disaster recovery?
AVEVA Historian continuously archives Carson City's operational data, creating a usable industrial memory for post-incident analysis and disaster recovery. In the event of a failure or major event, teams access the complete history to understand the causes, adjust parameters and quickly restore service. This traceability is a pillar of urban resilience, particularly critical for 24/7 public services such as drinking water.
What benefits does mobility (iPads, smartphones) bring to a public utility operator?
With AVEVA Mobile Reporting and SmartGlance Mobile Reports, Carson City technicians view key indicators from the field, without having to return to the control center. The result: 15% of operator hours saved, a workweek reduced to four 10-hour days, and better responsiveness to incidents. Industrial mobility is becoming a major productivity lever for public services managing infrastructure spread over large areas.
How does modern industrial supervision support a city's energy transition?
Carson City operates solar plants producing up to 748,000 kWh of clean energy per year, integrated into AVEVA System Platform supervision. This unification makes it possible to optimize renewable generation, balance municipal consumption and precisely measure environmental impact. For a local authority committed to the energy transition, having a unified platform that manages both traditional services and renewable energy is a major strategic asset.
