Our UHLIS acquisition gateways serving the challenges of the water world

The technical needs of the water industry: performance and reliability

In the water treatment and hydropower sectors, industrial facilities face a constant challenge: collecting, processing, and using accurate and reliable data to ensure process performance and water quality.

Physical and chemical parameters — such as levels, flow rates, pressures, conductivity, or pH — require continuous monitoring. Any inaccuracy or delay in measurement can cause system imbalance, energy overconsumption, or water quality degradation.

To address these challenges, operators in the water industry need solutions that can:

  • Measure and centralize signals from field devices;
  • Transmit data to a PLC or secure cloud system;
  • Analyze variations in real time;
  • Optimize supervision and maintenance of installations.

In this context, data acquisition gateways play a key role in the automation of water treatment processes.

The key role of data acquisition gateways in hydraulic processes

A data acquisition gateway serves as the bridge between the field and the supervision system. It collects information from sensors (flowmeters, pressure probes, water quality analyzers, etc.) and makes it available for control and optimization operations.

In an environment as demanding as the water industry, these gateways must combine:

  • Ruggedness to withstand industrial conditions;
  • Reliability in signal transmission;
  • Flexibility to adapt to various architectures;
  • Interoperability with existing PLCs and SCADA systems.

JM Concept meets these requirements with its UHLIS range of data acquisition gateways, designed to provide accurate and continuous monitoring of operating parameters while enabling the transition to connected installations.

JM Concept’s answer: the UHLIS range

Developed from JM Concept’s expertise in electrical signal conditioning, the UHLIS range includes modular, high-performance acquisition devices perfectly suited to the technical needs of the water industry.

UHLIS 0040: intelligent acquisition and calculation

The UHLIS 0040 is a data acquisition system featuring four digital or counting inputs and capable of performing arithmetic calculations directly at the source. This approach helps reduce PLC workload and improves reactivity in case of alerts.

UHLIS 3000MUX: versatility and precision

The UHLIS 3000MUX includes four process inputs, compatible with all sensors using 4–20 mA or ±100 mV signals.

It ensures high-precision data acquisition and reliable transmission to processing and supervision systems.

Thanks to this architecture, UHLIS gateways make it possible to:

  • Ensure continuous monitoring of installations;
  • Reduce operating costs;
  • React faster to anomalies or threshold exceedances;
  • Simplify automation and supervision of water treatment sites.

Toward sustainable automation in water treatment

The evolution of acquisition and communication technologies is paving the way for smarter and more sustainable processes.

In the water industry, automation not only helps improve energy efficiency, but also secure resources and reduce maintenance costs.

Solutions like JM Concept’s UHLIS range are fully aligned with this vision: they support the digitalization of hydraulic infrastructures and the deployment of connected systems focused on performance, responsiveness, and reliability.
