Miami Dade Water and Sewer serves the 4th largest metropolitan area in the US, located in south Florida.
Miami Dade employs the Emerson supervisory control system, which features over 1300 PLC/RTU’s linked to 7 interconnected SCADA systems providing real time monitoring and control of three major wastewater and two water treatment plants serving the entire Miami metropolis.
ASG Inc. has become a key supplier to Emerson as their primary automation enclosure provider, in a close partnership that helps Emerson meet its commitment to the long-term viability of essential infrastructure serving 6 million people in the Miami metro area.
A combination of high quality assembly standards, timely delivery, custom design and competitive pricing gave ASG the edge when chosen for this important role in the Emerson partnership. A typical project will feature interactive collaboration with ASG engineering, starting with pre construction design reviews, ending with stringent testing and documentation of hundreds of I/O points and individual components that will guarantee a fully functional, trouble free enclosure that is ready for permanent operation upon arrival on site.
Current ASG projects in production include dozens of panels built to help Miami-Dade meet a decade long federal consent decree obligation stretched out to 2025, which requires process upgrade commitments to their wastewater treatment plants to meet evolving treatment standards. These panels have a requirement for highly reliable components, from the PLC to the uninterruptible power supplies, to the displays and communication subsystems. The sophisticated electrical designs require a high degree of attention to numerous details, and experience with a range of expertise in component operation and design provided by ASG teams.
A typical panel for Miami-Dade is housed in large steel enclosure, often with a companion enclosure for additional capacity, and includes several hundred input/outputs with fused terminations that tie into a ControlWave PLC, with redundant power UPS, touch screen display, ethernet switch, relays, switches and tags.
ASG continues to enhance its reputation for best in class automation panel supply with the important work being done in Florida, and the ASG legacy grows with each panel delivered.
