The SCADA platform for water and wastewater was Elipse Software’s highlight at the fair, the largest in its sector in Latin America
From October 20 to 22, Elipse Software presented its solutions for water and wastewater automation at Fenasan 2026 (National Sanitation and Environment Fair), which took place at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo, Brazil. The spotlight was on Elipse Water. Designed by Elipse to meet the demands of water and wastewater systems, the platform is already gaining ground among Brazil’s largest utilities.
Based on the network’s hydraulic model, Elipse Water identifies, in a standardized way, how each component works and connects to the others, and automatically generates ready-to-use schematic operation screens. The software also features an innovative new tool for modeling water and wastewater treatment plants.
Recently, the platform went even further by bringing artificial intelligence directly into operations. Elipse Water is now integrated with Elipse Plant Manager (EPM) 7.0, the version that introduced the Elipse MCP Connector. This integration allows users to connect historical and real-time network data to generative AI models (LLMs) such as Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible model.
In practice, operations and engineering teams can now talk to their network data in natural language, without needing technical knowledge of databases or query languages to extract value from the information. Instead of opening the SCADA system, exporting spreadsheets, or writing SQL queries, users simply ask the AI what they want to know from their EPM application. The Elipse MCP Connector retrieves the data from EPM, interprets it, and responds with context.
Elipse Water provides a comprehensive, holistic view of the entire system, optimizing decision-making and event response, and can be used in operations of all sizes, from small municipal water departments to the large operations centers of regional or national utilities. Featuring a set of native water and wastewater objects, the software cuts screen development time by up to 90%. Together with these objects, the platform also allows users to standardize measurement types such as flow, pressure, and level.
With a graphical tool designed for modeling hydraulic networks, Elipse Water allows users to add and connect elements such as junctions, pipes, reservoirs, tanks, consumption points, pumps, valves, and DMA (District Metered Area) definitions. Based on this model, the platform can identify, in a standardized and contextualized way, the characteristics and properties of each network component, as well as how it works and connects to the others, enabling it to automatically generate simplified schematic operation screens.
Launched about four years ago, Elipse Water has been adopted by major utilities in Brazil, such as Aegea, which chose to invest in the solution to better control its water and wastewater network in the state of Rio de Janeiro and across its other concessions. According to data gathered from the utilities themselves, the software already operates in more than 34% of Brazilian municipalities. For more information, visit our website.

The National Sanitation and Environment Fair (Fenasan) and the AESabesp Technical Meeting together form the largest environmental sanitation event in the Americas. The central theme of this edition was “AESabesp 40 years: connecting people, knowledge and innovation through sanitation.” The meeting addressed key issues for the sector, such as solid waste management, recycling, municipal cleaning services, urban sanitation, and sustainable energy generation. Organized by AESabesp (Association of Engineers of Sabesp), the event expanded networking and business opportunities for its more than 40,000 attendees.
