Standardized Water Automation, Ready to Deploy

Standardized Water Automation

Stricter regulations, rising operational costs, aging infrastructure, and a shrinking skilled workforce — the water and wastewater industry faces mounting pressure to do more with less.

This technical document introduces SIMATIC PCS neo Water Control Module Templates (WCMT): a comprehensive set of pre-built, standardized control modules designed specifically for the water industry. Built on our proven process control libraries and delivered on a modern, 100% web-based platform, WCMT shifts engineering from custom development to component-based assembly — enabling faster, more consistent, and more cost-effective project delivery.

In this technical document, you will learn more about:

• Cost efficiency and faster time-to-value

  How standardized, reusable templates reduce engineering, commissioning, and maintenance effort, lowering total cost of ownership across the entire plant lifecycle.

• Reliability and operational continuity

  How built-in redundancy, local control backups, and integrated cybersecurity ensure safe, uninterrupted 24/7 operation of critical water infrastructure.

• Scalability and future-readiness

  How WCMT scales from single treatment plants to large distributed networks, with a clear evolution path from legacy systems that protects existing investments.

• Standardization and best practices

  How industry-proven templates based on NAMUR and ISA-88 standards ensure consistent quality, a uniform operator experience, and simplified maintenance across all sites.
