In the latest episode of the Accelerating Action podcast, Andrew McVey (Shoalhaven City Council) and Stuart Street (SAFEgroup Automation) sit down with the Australian Water Association to discuss the power of real-time SCADA analytics in modern water management. 

Set against the backdrop of the Shoalhaven region, they explore how new tools like the ODASA platform—Operational Data and SCADA Analytics—are transforming operations for water utilities by offering instant access to critical data across treatment plants, pump stations, and reservoirs. 

Andrew and Stuart share insights into how ODASA has improved system visibility, enabling faster, data-driven decisions that were previously challenging to make on the fly. From forecasting overflow times during pump failures to minimising alarm noise, ODASA offers Shoalhaven Water real-time insights that reduce response times and improve resilience, especially during peak demand periods. This episode offers a compelling look at the benefits of advanced analytics for water utilities, shedding light on the potential for smarter, more efficient water management across Australia.
