Automating pumps at the edge

Posted by Janice Colmer on Apr 8, 2026 7:23:13 AM

Learn from OptoPartner MAC Automation as they share how to achieve edge-based pump control using MQTT, cloud SCADA, and groov EPIC.

If you’re looking for insight into how IIoT and smart automation strategies can transform hard-to-reach operations, this new case study from OptoPartner MAC Automation offers a clear, real-world example of what’s possible—and why it matters. 

See what makes their application so compelling. 

What was the main challenge MAC Automation faced? Delivering reliable landfill liquid pumping control in a remote landfill environment.

Remote sites are where automation proves its value—or exposes its limits. When critical infrastructure like landfill pump systems operate miles from the nearest operator, even small inefficiencies can quickly turn into costly problems, from overflow risks to emergency callouts. 

That’s what makes this case study from MAC Automation a must-read. It dives into a real-world challenge: how to reliably monitor and control a remote landfill pump system without constant on-site intervention. 

You'll learn a practical approach to connecting isolated assets, improving data access, and building scalable systems that can evolve over time—and how groov EPIC controllers and MQTT play a crucial role.
