Getting plant data into the enterprise without opening the plant up

What we build

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.

Capabilities

  • Purdue-model network segmentation between control, operations, and enterprise zones
  • Unidirectional gateways and data diodes where the consequence of intrusion is severe
  • Contextualisation, so a raw tag becomes a measure a business system can reason about
  • An operational data lake fed one way from the historian, with no path back to control
  • Identity design that keeps control authority inside the plant, whoever is asking
  • Change control and evidence collection aligned to IEC 62443 zones and conduits

SCADA & HMI

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.

Bring us the whole problem.

Tell us where the work is stuck, whether that is a model that never reached production, an application nobody can change, a data platform nobody trusts, or a plant the business cannot see. An engineer replies with a first read, not a sales deck.
