Digital Control Systems & Industrial IT

DCS, SCADA, and industrial IoT: the software layer that keeps a plant running to the millisecond.

A power grid, a water network, or a continuous process plant cannot pause for a software update, and the operator on shift cannot be handed a dashboard designed for a boardroom. Digital control systems are the part of IT that has to be right the first time: deterministic timing, redundant controllers, protocol gateways to equipment built decades apart, alarms that keep the one alert that matters visible, and an audit trail behind every control action. It is also where AI now earns its place, in anomaly detection and predictive maintenance that a fixed alarm limit will never catch.

What we build

E.1

Digital Control System (DCS) Platforms

PID and model predictive control with five-nines controller availability

High-speed, distributed process automation for continuous industrial production. PID and Model Predictive Control algorithm libraries, deterministic fieldbus interfaces over Profibus and EtherCAT, redundant controller configurations engineered for 99.999 per cent availability, alarm management aligned to ISA-18.2, batch process control engines aligned to ISA-88, and control-loop performance monitoring that shows which loops are actually in automatic.

E.2

SCADA, HMI & Telemetry Systems

Protocol gateways to control room graphics, compliant with IEC 62443

Full-stack SCADA platforms: protocol gateways for DNP3, IEC 61850, MODBUS, and OPC UA, RTU and PLC polling engines, a time-series historian holding years of telemetry at full resolution, HMI and situational-awareness graphics built to ISA-101 rather than to decoration, geospatial views for distributed assets, and role-based access control aligned to IEC 62443 with an audit trail on every command.

Industrial IoT & Edge Computing

Sensors to insight, with the inference running where the machine is

Connected asset platforms from sensor to decision. Device provisioning and identity at scale, edge gateways that normalise proprietary protocols onto OPC UA or MQTT Sparkplug, local buffering and store-and-forward, inference at the edge where latency or bandwidth forbids a round trip to the cloud, over-the-air firmware and model updates with staged rollout and rollback, and a digital twin of the asset that stays in step with the physical one.

E.4

OT and IT Convergence

Getting plant data into the enterprise without opening the plant up

The architecture that lets enterprise systems read the plant without exposing it. Segmented network design following the Purdue model, unidirectional gateways and data diodes where the risk demands them, protocol translation and contextualisation so a tag becomes a meaningful business measure, an operational data lake fed one way from the historian, and identity and access design that keeps control authority inside the plant.

Predictive Maintenance & Asset Performance

Finding the failure while it is still a maintenance window

Condition monitoring and failure prediction on rotating and static assets. Vibration, thermal, acoustic, and electrical signature analysis, multivariate models that learn normal for this asset under this duty rather than for the asset class in general, remaining useful life estimation with a stated interval, automatic work order raising into your maintenance system, and reliability reporting per asset class that tells you what to standardise on next.

Building & Energy Management Systems

HVAC, metering, and occupancy, optimised against the bill and the comfort band

Control and analytics for buildings and campuses. BACnet and Modbus integration to HVAC, lighting, lifts, and access systems, sub-metering and energy accounting per tenant and per system, occupancy-aware setpoint optimisation that respects the comfort band, demand and peak management, fault detection and diagnostics on plant, and emissions and sustainability reporting from metered data rather than from estimates.
