A Partnership Built on Innovation and Reliability
For many years, Metropolitan Industries and Trihedral Engineering have worked together to deliver advanced SCADA solutions that help municipalities, utilities, and industrial organizations monitor and manage critical water and wastewater infrastructure. By combining Metropolitan Industries’ deep expertise in pump systems, controls, and water management with Trihedral’s powerful VTScada platform, the partnership has provided customers with reliable, secure, and scalable solutions designed for real-world operational challenges.
At the heart of this relationship is a shared commitment to simplifying complex operations. VTScada has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s leading SCADA platforms, offering integrated alarming, trending, reporting, historical data collection, and remote monitoring capabilities in a single software environment. Its robust architecture and intuitive user experience have made it a natural fit for Metropolitan Industries’ growing portfolio of water and wastewater solutions.
Bringing SCADA to the Cloud with MetroCloud
One of the most significant outcomes of the partnership has been the development and evolution of MetroCloud, Metropolitan Industries’ hosted cloud-based SCADA solution. Built on VTScada technology, MetroCloud delivers the full functionality of a traditional SCADA system without the need for customers to maintain on-site servers, software licenses, or extensive IT infrastructure.
MetroCloud was created to make advanced monitoring and control more accessible and cost-effective. Traditionally, SCADA systems required substantial investments in hardware, communications infrastructure, software licensing, and ongoing maintenance. MetroCloud eliminates many of these barriers by providing a hosted platform with low monthly costs, remote accessibility, and built-in support.
The platform enables operators to securely monitor and control pump stations, booster stations, lift stations, water distribution systems, and wastewater facilities from virtually anywhere using desktop computers, tablets, or mobile devices. Users also benefit from real-time alarms, historical data trending, reporting capabilities, and multi-channel notifications via email and SMS.
Reliability and Security by Design
A key advantage of MetroCloud is its hosted architecture. The platform is designed with redundant cloud infrastructure, delivering high availability and reliability for critical operations. Metropolitan Industries highlights geographically separated server configurations and cloud hosting environments that provide up to 99.9% uptime, helping ensure continuous access to operational data.
Security has also been a major focus. MetroCloud incorporates VPN technologies, encrypted communications, private cellular networks, multi-factor authentication, and other cybersecurity measures designed to protect customer systems and data. These capabilities allow utilities and facilities to embrace remote operations while maintaining strong security standards.
Looking Ahead
As the water and wastewater industry continues to modernize, the longstanding relationship between Metropolitan Industries and Trihedral remains an example of how strong technology partnerships can drive innovation. By leveraging the power of VTScada and the industry expertise of Metropolitan Industries, MetroCloud continues to help organizations improve visibility, efficiency, and operational resilience across their critical infrastructure.
Together, Metropolitan Industries and Trihedral have demonstrated that reliable SCADA technology is not just about monitoring assets, it is about empowering operators with the information and tools they need to make better decisions, respond faster to issues, and keep essential services running smoothly.
