FlowWorks Mentioned in Hach’s “Focus on the Flow” Newsletter

FlowWorks received a nice mention this month in the Hach’s “Focus on the Flow” newsletter, February 2012, issue #113.

In the Cross Platform Data Access section, Kevin Marsh, Vice President of Flow Sales at Hach/Marsh-McBirney, and flow industry guru, writes about FlowWorks’ great cross platform compatibility.

“While our own management and reporting capabilities are powerful enough for most users, there are times when you might need a third-party data management solution. We’ve made it easier than ever for third-party data platforms to access your Hach DDS or FSDATA hosted flow data. Already on board is FlowWorks and their hardware neutral suite of data collection, monitoring, analysis, and reporting tools. If you are already using FlowWorks it’s a very simple step to bring your Hach flow meter data right into it. If you’re using another platform chances are we can work with that vendor and very easily bring your Hach flow data into their system.”

Thank you very much Kevin and Hach. It is a pleasure working with you.

FlowWorks Part of NEWEA 2012 Exhibitor Showcase

FlowWorks was pleased to present at the 2012 New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) annual conference and exhibition as part of the new “Exhibitor’s Series”.  The 30-minute presentation, titled “Using FlowWorks With SCADA Systems”, was given by FlowWorks president Timothy Hicks.  In the presentation he discussed how the FlowWorks web platform can be used to create a collaborative engineering environment where engineers and managers can work directly with monitoring data without risk of compromising the SCADA system.  “The publicity for the Exhibitor Series was a little light”, said Hicks, “so the crowd was too, but the folks who came seemed interested and asked good questions which is always my sign they thought I was worth the time.”

The presentation was part of the NEWEA annual conference, January 24 -25 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel.  NEWEA has been holding annual meetings to provide a forum for knowledge and technology exchange within the wastewater field since 1928.  The conference has since become New England’s largest water quality conference.

More information on the NEWEA can be found on the NEWEA website.

FlowWorks Has a New Home!

After months of looking for office space, FlowWorks has found a new home in one of the most exciting parts of Seattle—-the International District! Located at 606 Maynard Avenue South, FlowWorks has agreed to share office space with the Pat Graney Dance Company.  Pat is an innovator in modern dance and well-known Seattle artist.  She is also a great lady and we are very happy to be associated with her.

We officially moved in on January 6, 2012 after a few weeks of clearing out, construction and moving furniture. Here are some photos!


Pat Graney and Randi are looking through the office set-up plans before the move-in.


Some of the FlowWorks crew hard at work on our first day in the new location. There is still lots to do, but we are adjusting well.  It’s nice to be settled.

We should mention that we are just blocks away from Safeco and PhoneCompany Fields, home of the Seattle Mariners, Sounders, and Seahawks.

FlowWorks is Featured in Treatment Plant Operator Magazine

FlowWorks is featured in the January 2012 issue of Treatment Plant Operator (TPO) magazine. On page 49 in the Product News section, FlowWorks is shown along with an image of the Graphic Editing screen. TPO explains that FlowWorks “enables users to highlight data directly on time-series, scatter graphs or in tables, then flip to an editing screen.” Flowworks also saves a complete history of all edits with notes allowing users to reverse changes at any time. FlowWorks collects data from any flow meter plus SCADA, USGS and NOAA environmental stations. It is good to see that we are being recognized!

You can check out the digital copy of TPO here!

FlowWorks Receives Very High Marks For Our WEFTEC Exhibit

The 2011 Water Environment Federation’s Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference was a huge success for FlowWorks.

During the show, each booth was observed and evaluated in three main categories: Overall Exhibit Presentation, Product/Service Presentation, and Exhibit Staff. FlowWorks received above average markings on all categories!
