SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED DECISION-MAKING IN WATER SUPPLY NETWORKS AND/OR WATER SUPPLY OPERATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for optimized decision-making for water supply grids and/or water supply operations, the system comprising:
- at least one central data processing device;
a control system having at least one integration device; and
at least one functional unit configured to at least one of determine and process state information concerning at least one of the grids and operations, respectively;
wherein the integration device is configured to prompt at least one of integration and incorporation of the functionality of the at least one functional unit into the control system such that at least one of (i) functionality of the control system is extended by functionality of the respective functional unit and (ii) the control system and the at least one functional unit interact such that individual functions and/or the functionality of the respective functional unit is at least one of called, executed and used by means of at least one of the integration device, the control system at least one further functional unit, andwherein the integration device is configured to enable, through integration with the control system and the at least one functional unit, state information to be obtained and provided for decision-making concerning at least one of a technical task and a technical problem.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for optimized decision-making in water supply networks and/or water supply operations. The system includes at least one central data processing device and a control system having at least one integration device. The system also includes at least one functional unit for identifying and/or processing status information affecting the respective network or operation. The functionality of the at least one functional unit can be integrated and/or incorporated into the control system by means of the integration device such that the control system functionality is expanded by the functionality of the respective functional unit and/or control system, and the at least one function unit cooperates such that individual functions and/or the functionality of the respective functional unit can be called up and/or executed and/or utilized via the integration unit and/or the control system, and resulting additional status information can be obtained and provided for decision-making, for example, relating to a technical task or technical problem.

14. A method for optimized decision-making for water supply grids and/or water supply operations, the method comprising:
-
in at least one integration device in interaction with a control system and at least one functional unit having at least one functionality, using the functionality of the at least one functional unit to at least one of determine and process state information concerning the respective grid or the operation; integrating, in the at least one functional device, the functionality of the at least one functional unit into the control system such that functionality of the control system functionality is extended by the functionality of the respective functional unit; and integrating, in the at least one functional device, the functionality of the at least one functional unit into the control system such that at least one of individual functions and the functionality of the respective functional unit are at least one of called, executed and used by means of the at least one of the integration device, the control system and at least one further functional unit, such that additional state information is obtained and provided for decision-making concerning at least one of a technical task and a technical problem.
