Aquatic Informatics in Partnership with Hach Launches Rio

Sept. 9, 2022
New water quality data management solution for efficiency in compliance and operations

Aquatic Informatics announces the launch of Rio, the next generation in cloud-based compliance and operations data management solutions for water and wastewater utilities. Rio’s central and secure database integrates lab, process, field, and other data sources to improve cross-organizational visibility and decision-making.

Eric Dorgelo, Chief Technology Officer for Aquatic Informatics said, “Rio expands the capabilities of our customers by enabling them to be proactive in their compliance and more efficient in managing daily operations by providing visibility into water quality processes. The dashboard makes it easy to use and reporting and graphing tools allow for insights and trends in a fraction of the time.”

Confidence in a Secure Cloud Environment

Using secure cloud infrastructure, Rio provides operators with visibility and access to action Lab, SCADA, field, and other data sources from any device. By centralizing operations and compliance within an online environment water operators can track critical metrics, visualize trends, and use customizable alerts to proactively address problems. Rio produces regulatory reports for both drinking and waste water utilities including Net Discharge Monitoring, Monthly Operating, Surface Water Treatment Rule, Disinfection Byproducts, and Distribution Bacteriological Reports. All reports and data are retained and encrypted, creating a defensible, easily accessible repository.

Increase Field Efficiency with Mobile Data Collection & Insights

Rio also has a mobile app that water operators can use independently or with the WIMS (Water

Information Management System) solution for remote data collection, data validation and access to information for more efficient field operations. Manual data collection of pH, dissolved oxygen, suspended solids, temperature, etc. from instruments becomes easy, efficient, and defensible by eliminating bench sheets and spreadsheets to reduce errors.

New customer, The Village of Penn Yan, Yvonne E. Tucker, Chief Operator for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, said, “We found the charts and graphs really easy to use and made it possible to communicate important data quickly to management, resulting in better understanding of our operations and improved decision-making.”

Rio was developed in partnership with Hach to maximize the value of data from Hach instruments and serve as a central place to integrate any data source. Hach, Rio and Aquatic Informatics are brands within the Danaher Water Quality Platform.
