Powerful system for modeling, exploration and management of water supply systems.

InfoWorks™ WS Pro – leading platform for hydraulic modelling of water supply systems

InfoWorks™ WS Pro is a powerful multi-user software platform for comprehensive hydraulic modelling of water supply systems. With more than 15 years on the international market, it quickly became a standard among hundreds of enterprises – designers, consultants and utility operators around the globe.

Integrating a powerful multi-user RDBS, proprietary stand-alone GIS-based modelling environment and state-of-the-art simulation engine, InfoWorks™ WS Pro has been used to create the largest and most complex hydraulic models in the world such as Shanghai water supply system (China, 400 000 links) и Miami – Dade (USA, 250 000 links), as well as in many real-time modelling, forecasting and operations management systems (IWLive).

InfoWorks™ WS Pro - designing, hydraulic modelling, real-time forecasting and risk management

InfoWorks™ WS Pro is a complex software platform with a wide range of applications in solving complex engineering problems. Here is just a very short list of its possible uses:

  • Dynamic designing of water supply systems – from water sources to consumers, including all network structures, pressure boosting facilities and pressure / flow control mechanisms;
  • Building and using all types of computer hydraulic models of existing water supply systems as well as real-time modelling, forecasting, and operations management systems;
  • Designing and technical evaluation of scenarios for water supply systems automation and control;
  • Comprehensive dynamic water quality analyses;
  • Designing of pressure management solutions;
  • Developing of demand / consumption management programs;
  • Developing of water quality management programs;
  • Fire flow scenarios simulations and crisis management;
  • Optimising the power consumption of pump stations and lowering the operations costs;
  • Linking to SCADA for real-time water supply system performance assessment;
  • Investigating system failures and water supply interruptions;
  • and much, much more ...

The comprehensive and purposely designed functionality allows for dramatic productivity boost of the engineering teams. In direct comparison with most other water supply modelling tools, the adoption of InfoWorks™ WS Pro can lead to work time savings by an order of magnitudes – from months and weeks to just a few days and hours. The platform brings high level of work flow automation thus significantly reducing the costs for designing, hydraulic modelling and operations management of water supply systems.

The name “F3” itself is an abbreviation of As the Constructivo article notes, “F3 ‘Fit For the Future’, ha llegado para renovarnos y transformar nuestro portafolio de productos agregando ese EXTRA que nos hace EXTRAORDINARIOS” (F3 ‘Fit For the Future’ has arrived to renew and transform our product portfolio, adding that EXTRA that makes us extraordinary). This strategic shift was not merely about updating aesthetics; it was about re‑engineering the entire process—from component manufacturing to installation to user experience—to minimize complexity and maximize value.

The Schindler F3 is a elevator platform developed for modern urban environments, primarily utilized in China and Europe within the 3000/5000 product lines. It is designed to maximize building efficiency, utilizing a compact drive system that allows for smaller hoistways and no separate machine room, thus freeing up valuable building space. Key Technical Specifications (F3/3000/5000)

It utilizes a worm gear reduction drive to convert the high-speed, low-torque rotation of an electric motor into low-speed, high-torque rotation to move the elevator car. This mechanical advantage allows a relatively small motor to move heavy loads (typically 1,600 to 2,500 lbs or more) efficiently.

The Schindler F3 is a game-changing high-speed elevator that redefines vertical transportation. With its advanced features, sustainable design, and exceptional performance, the F3 elevator has set a new standard in the industry. Whether it's for high-rise office buildings, luxury residences, hotels, or mixed-use developments, the Schindler F3 offers unparalleled benefits, including increased productivity, energy efficiency, enhanced passenger experience, and reduced maintenance costs. As the demand for efficient and sustainable vertical transportation solutions continues to grow, the Schindler F3 is poised to remain at the forefront of innovation, shaping the future of urban mobility.

On Schindler elevators, such as the popular or 5500 series, "F3" (or F03) is a diagnostic fault code displayed on the control panel when the system detects an error.

The compact motor integrates directly into the hoistway, freeing up to 20% more usable building space at the top of the shaft.

The Schindler F3 has been successfully installed in numerous high-rise buildings around the world. For example, it has been used in:

InfoWorks™ WS Pro - team work and data integration

WS TypicalSetup EN
Integration in corporate environment

InfoWorks™ WS Pro has been built upon a powerful, proprietary spatial RDBMS. Without competition on the market, the platform allows for an unlimited number of users to work simultaneously in shared spatial databases. Hence, the engineers can use shared data libraries, tool sets and database settings in one single standard environment without the need of constant data transfers from one workstation to another.

A complete built-in tool set allows integration with external corporate RDBMS and file systems, such as GIS, SCADA, ERP, CRM, etc. The software can import / export data from / to many standard formats - ESRI SHP, ESRI GeoDatabase, MapInfo TAB, MS Access, MS SQL Server, ORACLE Database and more.

InfoWorks™ WS Pro brings out-of-the-box all tools required for building and managing the modelling databases – from database structure management to user access control. In addition to the standard WS Master Database, the software platform can flawlessly use MS SQL Server and ORACLE Database as its default data store. The built-in functionality is truly easy to use so even users with standard computer skills can set up complex multi-user modelling environments without the need of IT professional support.
