SOFREL – PREALPI SERVIZI – Case History
Made in Rilheva – A real Internet of Things story
The company
Since 1985, Prealpi Servizi manages biological purification across the Varese area through 15 water treatment plantsbetween 4,000 and 450,000 e.i. (equivalent inhabitants).
The company also manages a complex network of sewage stations on the Lago Maggiore and Lago di Varese lakeshore.
Not only purification, Prealpi Servizi is also involved in the drinking water market by managing more than 150 Km of water supply network throughout Varese district.

Targets
To grant high service levels to citizenship, we needed a solution to:
- Gather data from each plant in a single Cloud platform
- Achieve a real time process awareness
- Make it really easy to share information
- Be field HW technology independent
- Preserve past investments, especially Sofrel devices
Critical Issues
Distributing network is really extended and ramified, but, overall, it has extremely diversified topography conformations (from Alpi to Pianura Padana) which require different hydraulic processes and a significant management severity.
Major complexity is given by difficulty in gathering process data (such as Levels, Flows, pH, Oxigen, Chlorine,…) to best manage involved plants.

Rilheva & Sofrel benefits
The interaction between Sofrel devices and Rilheva IIoT Platform was a winning one!
We managed to preserve past investments, granting RTU Sofrel S550 devices technical continuity as they are really appreciated for their key factors and reliability.
Simply by installing a commercial router, S550 devices started communicating with Rilheva IIoT Platform, providing a high added value transferring our know-how in the APP and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) world.
Operators have the entire network under control and can act directly and in real time to grant the highest system efficiency, simply by using their smartphone.
