Koning & Hartman implemented ICONICS GENESIS64 with Mitsubishi IQ-F PLCs to replace aging controllers managing water filtration for marine exhibits. The system provides real-time dashboards, alarms, and mobile access for operators monitoring water levels, temperature, and pump status across shark tanks, coral reefs, and penguin habitats. The project delivered quick deployment, reduced third-party dependence, and positioned the facility for future energy management integration.

Key takeaways

GENESIS64 replaced end-of-life PLCs controlling sea water filtration for marine animal exhibits

Operators gained real-time visibility into water levels, temperature, and pump status via centralized dashboards

Mobile access and alarm notifications enable rapid response to filtration issues

Quick deployment and familiar interface reduced training time and third-party reliance

Future expansion planned for integration with zoo energy management system
