The challenge: Monitor and manage these
intakes in a single control center. The solution was to install the Siemens
Telecontrol Server Basic system, which allows all these intakes to be
connected through mobile networks such as 4G or 5G, to a single central
installation, where all that information is collected.
With the use of this Telecontrol system, mobile
networks are optimised and only process-relevant information, such as flow rate
or water level, is sent out. At the same time, a complete data backup is
achieved in the event of a loss of communication with the intakes.
With the information we collect, we train an
artificial intelligence model that is capable of managing the water demand
requested in a more efficient way. Work times and errors are also reduced.

“By using this Telecontrol system, mobile networks are optimized and only information relevant to the process is sent out, such as the flow rate or water level,” explains Lydia González Perdiguero, Telecontrol Product Manager at Siemens.
The Canal of Aragon and Catalonia (Canal de Aragón y Cataluña) is a significant irrigation canal located in northeastern Spain.The canal runs through the regions of Aragon and Catalonia, primarily serving the provinces of Huesca and Lleida.It spans approximately 138 kilometers. The canal was constructed to improve irrigation in the region, supporting agricultural activities by providing a reliable water source. This canal is an essential infrastructure for the agricultural economy of the regions it serves, ensuring water availability in an otherwise dry area
