Services SCADA for process & utilities

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

See the process.
Act before it trips.

Utilities and process equipment keep the plant running, yet they are often watched by one operator walking between panels. Our SCADA brings their pressures, temperatures, levels, energy and solar generation into one screen, raises alarms when something drifts, and lets authorised people adjust the process from wherever they are.

When the plant room needs more than a panel.

SCADA earns its place when the cost of noticing late is high: lost steam, wasted power, a failed batch or a pollution-board notice.

  • Trips are discovered, not predicted.A boiler or compressor stops, and the first sign is the production line slowing down.
  • Readings are noted on a log sheet every hour.What happened between readings is anyone’s guess, and the sheet can’t raise an alarm.
  • Adjustments need a walk to the panel.Changing a setpoint or starting a standby pump depends on who is nearby, on every shift.
  • Energy and effluent have to be reported.Compliance figures are pieced together from meters and registers instead of a reliable record.

Where SCADA sits in your plant.

Each layer answers a different question. SCADA is the layer that watches the process continuously and lets the right person act on it, without walking to the panel.

  1. MESAre we producing what we planned, this shift? Plans, output, OEE, quality
  2. SCADAIs the process healthy right now, and what needs attention? Live values, alarms, trends, setpoints, commands
  3. PLC & controlsRun the cycle and hold the interlocks, every few milliseconds. Logic, safety interlocks, drives
  4. FieldMeasure and move. Sensors, transmitters, valves, motors, meters

What our SCADA includes.

Designed around your process, built on industrial communication you can maintain, and organised so the right person sees the right alarm.

Process screens

Clear overview and equipment screens drawn from your P&ID and layout, with live values where operators expect to see them.

Alarms that mean something

High, low and fault alarms with priorities, time stamps and acknowledgement, tuned with your team so they are not ignored.

Trends and history

Every tag recorded over time, so you can see how pressure, temperature or flow behaved before a trip, and export it for reports.

Remote setpoints and commands

Change setpoints, start or stop equipment and switch duty and standby from the screen, with permission checks and a confirmation step.

Alerts beyond the control room

Critical alarms can be pushed to supervisors and maintenance by message, so a night-shift problem doesn’t wait for the morning.

Energy, solar and metering

Energy meters, solar inverters, flow meters and run hours in the same view, so you can see solar generation against plant consumption and report it reliably.

Local HMI panels

Touch HMI screens at the panel for operators on the spot, matched to the same tags and alarms as the central screens.

Secure connectivity

Teltonika industrial routers link PLCs and meters over Modbus and send data over encrypted MQTT, without opening your plant network to the internet.

Audit trail

Every command and setpoint change is recorded with who made it and when.

How a SCADA project runs.

Control is only added once supervision is proven, and safety logic always stays local.

Start with a site survey
  1. Survey the process

    Walk the plant room with your team. List equipment, PLCs, meters and instruments, and agree what must be watched and what may be controlled.

  2. Design tags and screens

    Define every tag, alarm limit and screen, plus who may change what. You review it before anything is built.

  3. Connect and supervise

    Install gateways and communication, bring the screens and alarms live in monitor-only mode, and tune the alarm limits.

  4. Commission control

    Enable remote setpoints and commands one at a time, tested with your operators, with PLC interlocks left fully in charge.

Where SCADA pays back fastest.

Continuous equipment that the plant depends on, and that nobody can watch all the time.

  • Boiler housesSteam pressure, drum level, fuel and flue
  • Compressed airCompressor sequencing, pressure, run hours
  • Chillers and cooling towersTemperatures, pumps, energy
  • ETP, STP and WTPpH, levels, pumps, dosing, flow
  • Furnaces and ovensZone temperatures, recipes, alarms
  • Rooftop & ground-mount solarInverters, generation, faults, export
  • Power and energyIncomers, DG sets, energy meters

Questions we often hear.

How is this different from your machine dashboards?

Machine dashboards count production on discrete machines and feed the MES. SCADA supervises continuous process and utility equipment through live values, alarms and trends, and it can send setpoints and commands back to the PLC.

Is it safe to control equipment remotely?

Remote commands go to the PLC, which still applies every interlock. Commands need the right permission and a confirmation, are recorded in the audit trail, and are refused when the panel is switched to local or manual.

Can it work with our existing PLCs and meters?

In most cases, yes. Devices that speak Modbus RTU or TCP can be connected through the gateway. The site survey confirms each device and any changes needed in the PLC.

What happens if the internet connection drops?

The PLC and local HMI keep running the process as normal. Remote screens show the connection as lost rather than old values, and supervision resumes when the link returns.

Can you supervise our solar plant too?

Yes. Inverters and solar energy meters that support Modbus can join the same SCADA: generation, inverter status and faults, and generation against what the plant consumes. Where the inverter supports it, export or power limits can be set from the screen, with the same permissions and audit trail.

Can SCADA and MES share data?

Yes. Utility status and energy can sit alongside production in the same platform. For example, compare a line’s output with the compressed air it used.

Let’s look at your process

Bring your plant room onto one screen.

Tell us which equipment you want to supervise, what controls it today, and whether you need remote control or monitoring first. We’ll suggest a sensible first scope.
