How Wonderware helps harness the Yellow River

The objective of the project was to create a large-scale operating system including a central database, real-time information transference and processing, and decision support distributed over 700 kilometers of The Yellow River. It had to effectively regulate water quantity and prevent flow stoppages, particularly during droughts. It was also designed to help Commission staff forecast floods and create proactive flood progressing models.

“I believe that with the expansion of this system, we can make the Yellow River more beautiful and younger, and bring more benefit to Chinese people along the Yellow River.”

The reusable nature of the application objects created during the system’s development will save the plant additional hours and expenses in ongoing system maintenance and expansion. the reusable nature of the application objects created during the system’s development will save the plant additional hours and expenses in ongoing system maintenance and expansion.

“The advanced functionality of the Wonderware System Platform, such as reusable objects, modularized technology and remote deployment … made it possible for us to complete the first phase of this system in 3 months, which includes 43 sluice stations and the other 4 management levels,” said Chenhua.
