The inter-municipal company Hias IKS needed help to collect and store operational data for analysis purposes. The solution was to use the KYB digital platform from Digitread Connect.

Hias IKS is an inter-municipal water and wastewater company responsible for providing clean, safe drinking water and ensuring that wastewater is treated and processed in an environmentally friendly manner. The company delivers its services to four municipalities in the Hedmark area.

All the water used by Hias IKS is sourced from Lake Mjøsa through two water treatment facilities, where it is purified before being distributed through the water pipeline network. The water and wastewater network consists of 30 pumping and measuring stations, as well as a treatment plant and 16 wastewater pumping stations.


“It was data from pumps, valves, and other equipment that we wanted to collect and compile so that we could analyze and store the data. We were particularly interested in data showing volume and pressure, pump operations, energy consumption, and other parameters that could eventually be used for analyses,” says Magnus Heramb, automation technician at Hias IKS.

Simply put, the KYB platform gathers data from Hias IKS’s operational control systems, making it easier to manage, structure, and analyze data from various sources. Over time, this data can provide insights, improve decision-making, and offer opportunities to enhance productivity and reduce costs.


“The project started in 2021, and the collaboration with Digitread Connect is working well,” concludes Magnus Heramb.
