Webb County Water Treatment Plant in Rio Bravo, Texas replaced an outdated manual facility lacking computerized controls with a new plant requiring SCADA. ICONICS GENESIS32 was selected for its runtime language switching between English and Spanish, enabling operators to interact with process screens, alarms, and trending in their preferred language. The system also delivered remote access, alarm notification, and standardized HMI screens developed with CH2M HILL.

Key takeaways

Bilingual runtime language switching improved operator adoption and safety at a Spanish-primary facility

GENESIS32 provided HMI, SCADA, trending, alarming, and secure remote access for water treatment processes

Standardized screen design and pre-testing at the engineering lab reduced commissioning time

Transition from manual operations to SCADA required intuitive interfaces for staff unfamiliar with computerized controls

Remote alarm notification and thin-client access enabled efficient monitoring without constant on-site presence
