A typical transportation and distribution system for natural gas or liquid hydrocarbons can extend hundreds of miles and comprise thousands of sensors, valves, pumps and controllers. The challenge is to connect these devices to regional or headquarters control rooms and monitor them remotely 24-hours a day through efficient remote monitoring and control systems.  

Centralized monitoring and control of remote production and transport facilities are critical. Having a network in place to monitor and report relevant and timely data, throughout the infrastructure are essential in today’s environment.  Edison’s approach in keeping the Total Cost of Ownership manageable, is to provide a non-proprietary, open-architecture, state-of-art facility, while delivering an easy-to-use operator interface. This concept gives operators, maintenance and plant managers maximum mobility to remotely monitor and control sites while increasing throughput, eliminate downtime, reduce wastage, improve quality levels and track resource.
