| What we bring to the table |
|
- We take pride in meeting both a client's present needs and long-term goals. We spend the time to understand a client's system and goals. We provide Open Architecture, Flexible and Expandable products and systems.
- Our products allow the design of Fail-Safe SCADA systems. We know how you rely on your system, and we partner with you to maintain and support the system, not only during the warranty, but afterwards also.
- PAD SCADA systems are typically designed in a DCS ( Distributed Control System) format, where control logic resides in the field rather than on a host computer. The DCS format allows enhanced reliability, as the system is not depend upon a computer whose failure could cause the entire system to fail.
- Our products and systems are supported by a number of systems suppliers and integrators, so our clients are NOT locked into only one supplier.
- PAD takes responsibility for the entire SCADA system, eliminating finger pointing, and assuring clients that what was desired, is what was delivered. PAD stands behind the entire system.

HOW WE SAVE YOU MONEY: |
|
| A properly designed & working SCADA system doesn't cost you money, it saves you money! |
|
Experience indicates that most clients are paying more for labor, electrical power, and increased operations and customer problems, by either not having a SCADA system, or having an unreliable system. Consider the many ways an ATSI can help you improve your operations, and make your life more simple: |
|
Reduced energy costs- |
|
- Pump during 'off-peak' energy periods, taking advantage of dramatically reduced energy rates. (Depends upon each individual system's characteristics)
- Better manage wells and boosters by choosing the most efficient to operate
- Track pump efficiency automatically
- Control logic to better enable Variable Frequency Drive operation, continuous running is more efficient than starts and stops

UNIQUE APPROACH TO SCADA SYSTEM DESIGN: |
|
- PAD will take 'turn-key' responsibility for a project, not only vending and installing hardware and software, but also standing behind the entire system. This includes software, integration, the radio system and maintenance.
- PAD uses state-of-the-art technology to provide reliable radio based communications systems. We provide computer generated RF path profiles and complete engineering analysis which can be verified through actual field testing. The Global Positioning System's (GPS) satellite technology is used to determine precise site locations. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used with computer software to generate path profiles and to calculate interference and path fade margins, along with the
production of 3D topographic maps.
- PAD uses a built-in communications protocol designed for Peer to Peer communications, Report By Exception, as well as Polling and Contention. It works equally well over radio, wireline, fiber optics, etc. The Modbus tm Open Architecture protocol is available for interconnectivity as well as other specialized protocols. We have a large number of protocols available, and our DCS RTUs / PLCs can be implemented with multiple
protocols running simultaneously.
- PAD provides SCADA systems that are truly Open Architecture, both in design and in hardware and software. Our goal is to not 'lock' or 'capture' a customer through hardware and software constraints. We keep our customers by providing better systems and services than can be found elsewhere.
