Read the new case study to learn how a multi-site agricultural application gained modern controls, remote monitoring, and real-time visibility.

What does it take to turn a complex industrial challenge into a smarter, more effective solution? 

DNR Systems and Boron Tech Solutions (BTS) are here to share their success story. A boron filtration system was working well at the local level, but it needed to be duplicated easily and securely on a much larger scale across hundreds of acres of farmland.

Get the details from this new case study on how DNR and BTS found the complete package to go end-to-end for fully managed SCADA to the cloud.

READ CASE STUDY

Groundwater and surface water carry high concentrations of boron in California's Central Valley. For the local farmers and growers, elevated boron levels can cause reduced crop yields and crop quality. To address this challenge, Boron Tech Solutions, based in Woodland, California, successfully deployed their boron filtration process to one site. Now the challenge was how to efficiently and economically deploy this system to multiple sites.

BTS turned to OptoPartner DNR Systems to develop the control and monitoring platform they needed to connect remote sites, provide real-time visibility, and make it possible to scale their solution.

DNR Systems needed a platform that met all critical requirements:

  • Security over cellular networks
  • Built-in communication like MQTT and OPC UA
  • Scalability and a repeatable architecture

Find out how they turned BTS' boron solution into a scalable success.
