AdvanTech Corporation implemented ICONICS GENESIS32 to modernize monitoring and control for the Croton System dams and reservoirs serving New York City. The system integrates MODBUS actuators, Schneider Electric PLCs, and Ethernet networking to enable remote visualization of valve status, water levels, and equipment conditions. The solution supports standalone operation with historical data collection and remote access across eight sites.
