CLIENT
ACCIONA AGUAS is a leading company with the capacity to design, build and operate drinking water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, tertiary treatment for reuse and reverse osmosis desalination plants.
GOAL ACHIEVED
To develop a system to generate 3D water treatment plants in order to test their operation in real time.
Technology to optimize water treatment plants
With the aim of optimizing the management of their water treatment plants, Acciona contacted DeuSens again with the idea of creating a system that would allow their professionals to check the operation of all their water pump systems in real time, in a much more visual way through the use of a 3D tool and in web format.
This is how we focused on developing an application that would allow us to generate interactive 3D maps, and that would be connected in real time to the components of the installation, through sensors and IoT connections.
Technical characteristics of Acciona Plants 3D Web
This tool made for Acciona was constituted as a 3D editing platform that worked directly in web format, without the need to download or use any external software. Based on the Three.js engine, we made modifications in its code to adapt it to Acciona's needs, adding functionalities and modules that did not exist in a predefined way, for example, to manage the user login or for the creation and selection of projects.
On accessing the tool through the URL of the website, the login screen appeared in which the user had to use his credentials to verify his access. After this, the user was taken to the projects screen, where he/she could create a new project or open an existing one. When creating or selecting a project, the user entered the project editor that allowed him to visualize a 3D map in which to place the different objects of the water purification system, such as structures, water pumps, pipes, turbines, cutters or transmitters, among others.
These objects had information panels showing different parameters and characteristics of the real components of the installation, allowing Acciona professionals to check more quickly the operation or performance of the component, among other data of interest.
In short, this tool allowed Acciona's professionals to create a virtualization of the real water treatment plants with the subsequent objective of being able to check their operation and the data generated by the installation's sensors, in a much more visual way by means of a 3D visual dashboard, as a control panel.
Tailor-made application to solve a complex problem
The infinite possibilities of technology have helped us to solve a multitude of problems of varied application and complexity. In the specific case of this project, it was a completely custom-made tool for which we had to apply all our knowledge of graphics engines, programming and systems logic.
The result of months of work ended up being of great satisfaction for the entire DeuSens team involved in the process, and that has allowed to optimize the water purification plants and to be more efficient in its creation of Acciona Aguas.
