It's incredible that it's Memorial Day weekend already! The last few weeks have been great and we're staying busy with lots of interesting projects. Here's a few of the events we've been attending lately.
WRWA Golft Outing in Waupaca - May 18
It's always tricky committing to industry golf outings. It doesn't matter how carefully the event is planned and organized, how great the day is ultimately comes down to weather. And this year we got the most perfect weather for the WRWA Golf Outing on May 18. What an amazing day to spend outside! I had a blast selling 50/50 tickets, talking to operators, and soaking up the sun.
WWOA Lake Michigan Operators Meeting in Kaukauna - May 19
The spring Lake Michigan Operators Meeting brought me to Kaukauna for another great meeting. With a room filled with operators and a slate of interesting presentations, a day is always well spent at these meetings. In particular I enjoyed Tom Fitzwilliams' (MSA) presentation on using DNA sequencing to identify bacteria in activated sludge. It's about time we brought some CSI-esque technology to wastewater plants!
Wonderware User Conference in Madison - May 24
This week brought me to a new-to-me event in Madison - the Wonderware User Conference. It proved to be an interesting and, dare I say it, inspiring day. It's always our goal to keep our SCADA systems user-friendly and very useful to operators, while being accessible to small customers. It was really interesting to see new technology coming out of Wonderware that fits right with this goal. Additionally, seeing how SCADA systems are implemented in different industries provides some food for thought to see how we can creatively integrate some of their solutions into water and wastewater systems.
