​​​​Cairo, Egypt – Contributing towards the realization of Egypt's Vision 2030, Giza Systems proudly announces the successful completion of the Rawd El Farag water plant SCADA system and control center revamp project for the Greater Cairo Water Company (GCWC).

This transformative project represents a significant milestone, encompassing cutting-edge solutions, including the latest in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Notably, this initiative stands out as the first large-scale implementation of a fully Egypt-developed SCADA solution in the country.

Giza Systems, renowned for its digital transformation enablement, also provided GCWC with remote workstations and mobile applications, enabling seamless remote monitoring of the water plant. To bolster communication capabilities, 4G communication protocol was deployed, offering diverse links and protocols for robust communication.

The Rawd El Farag project was driven by a multitude of challenges, including the scarcity of software and hardware spare parts for obsolete systems. With the integration of various communication links, particularly the 4G communication technology, the project significantly mitigates the risk of data loss. Additionally, the incorporation of remote monitoring tools has expedited issue identification and response, rendering the system more agile and efficient.

Despite the complexity and challenges inherent in the project, GCWC placed its trust in Giza Systems, cementing their decade-long business relationship and Giza Systems' commendable track record in similar projects. The project, originally slated for a one-year timeline, was completed successfully despite all obstacles, demonstrating the unwavering commitment and capability of Giza Systems.

This project stands as a crucial steppingstone towards the realization of Egypt's Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Dr. Assem El Gazzar's vision to automate work systems and enhance citizen services. Leveraging its extensive knowledge and expertise in digital transformation, Giza Systems remains dedicated to envisioning a digital Egypt through further innovative solutions and integrations.
