OptiRTC

Real-time stormwater monitoring and adaptive control

Overview

OptiRTC offers a Continuous Monitoring and Adaptive Control (CMAC) platform for stormwater management. It provides real-time visibility into stormwater assets and automatically adjusts control devices (pumps, gates, valves) to optimize drainage and reduce flooding. Data from sensors is collected and analyzed in the cloud, and control commands are sent to assets to respond to changing conditions. The goal is to help municipalities, businesses, and communities achieve smarter, more reliable stormwater infrastructure with measurable economic savings and increased resiliency.
