Case Study: Merweville – Beaufort West Local Municipality
It’s nothing new that South Africa has been struggling with drought in recent years. And one little town in particular in the Great Karoo was suffering, as it’s one of the driest parts of the country. Besides the drought, Merweville was dealing with a list of other problems that included a crumbling reservoir and tedious manual processes.
Luckily, Integ System Integrators could help save the day by installing the Ignition Platform & the Flow Information Platform.
Download the full case study to read how Ignition and Flow were able to transform Merweville’s reservoir infrastructure, modernise their processes and erase the possibility of future theft problems.
A Better Understanding Of The Analytics Continuum
Collecting data is simple; turning it into actionable Information is not! Data management, collation, and contextualisation is the industry’s biggest problem today. Analytics can help your business make informed decisions.

Filtering Out Bad Data In Event Attribute Enumerations
Enumerations allow Flow to translate an event attribute from a numeric value to a human-readable string value. It does this by looking up a tag value against a lookup value called enumeration ordinal, associated with a string value. On a successful match, the event attribute value replaced with the String. An enumeration ordinal can only be of type integer, which implies that the source tag cannot be a floating-point number.
