Today is the 5-year anniversary of RTC4Water and what a 5 years it has been! The company started with 3 employees and only a few contracts to supply an early Global Predictive Controller (GPC) to the Luxembourgish market. Today we are installing intelligent controllers that will, by 2024, control the water distribution networks of at least 70% of all communes in Luxembourg!

Last week we launched a software update (version 4.1) of the GPC, which now has its own OPC-UA server - meaning that multiple GPCs can now securely communicate and share data with a central server and/or with each other! This is very exiting (yes really!) and allows us to solve issues where, for example, several communes are taking water from a single supply line that has become too small due of our exploding population in Luxembourg. These GPCs can now tell each other how “stressed” each network is for water and they can now cooperate and make sure that all communes get enough. GPC 4.1 also comes with an enhanced remote monitoring system (called Chloé) to supplement our 7/7 global checking, monitoring and leak detection systems so that our clients are always sure that their systems are performing day and night.

As always, we greatly appreciate the support that we get from our clients and partners. Without them, our goal of developing the most advanced, fully autonomous network optimization software would not be possible.
