The advocacy of World Water Day highlights and makes us all more aware of this precious resource many of us take for granted every day. With water in abundance at the turn of a tap and the twist of a bottle top, many do not even think about the scientific process this life giving need goes through to guarantee its purity the moment it touches the lips or seeps into our environment. One of the critical steps to treating and ensuring water’s potability happens in the lab, and EISC is doing its part to contribute in protecting the safety of our water with patented informatics that seamlessly automate data processes in water treatment facilities and support scientific decisions.
While there are many stops along water’s journey to quality, one of the most critical is at the analytical lab in water treatment plants and facilities across the globe. Analysts, QA lab managers and control engineers are tasked with the critical and meticulous job of fishing out harmful impurities and toxins hazardous to our health and environment. Ensuring the quality of the analytical processes within water treatment facilities should be a top priority for first world countries. And yet, news of problems with water quality are not a rare occurrence. In many water treatment labs analytical data processes are predominantly manual (data entry) or semi-manual (cut & paste), leaving the water vulnerable to errors associated with any manual data process, disconnects in the transfer of electronic information, and data that is not real time. Disconnects in data are a formidable foe for even the most highly educated, trained, and experienced science professional to overcome. Most simply do not have the data tools that allow them to solely focus on the science of the water versus the data gymnastics needed to get all the data to them in the right format upon which to then apply their valuable education, experience and professional instinct.
EISC’s informatics solves this problem for them. Our technology automatically accesses, aggregates, assimilates and then electronically communicates the scientific raw, meta and result data from disparate sources. Whether instruments, excel spreadsheets, SCADA , or multiple plant and facility sights, EISC systems brings it to a single process point that presents all of the data to lab analysts, QA managers and control engineers in real time. It’s all about getting the right data to the right person at the right time so that person can make expert decisions about the quality and safety of the water we all drink. And that’s something for which we can all raise a glass.
