Laois County Council awards SCADA network extension to EMR

Leading communications and SCADA network supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today secured a major SCADA network expansion contract with Laois County Council to provide real-time monitoring and control of more than 50 critical infrastructure sites throughout the county.

Installation of the new sites will be completed within three months and bring investment in the network to date to over €500,000.

Under the terms of the deal, EMR will install PLCs, HMIs and radio communications together with an upgrade of the electrical control systems at some sites.

The contract follows the successful completion of the Stage I of the Water Conservation SCADA system for Laois County Council in 2012.

These sites will now be monitored and controlled from the Laois County Council’s SCADA system, delivering information to managers and field personnel using EMR’s cloud-hosted SCADA servers and brings the number of sites on the system to over 200.
