Industrial automation · MES · process intelligence

The plant floor,
finally legible.

We design, build and commission AVEVA System Platform architectures, MES layers and data-collection backbones — then surface them as live process-intelligence dashboards, so every machine, batch and shift reads from the same real-time KPIs, not three competing spreadsheets.

01 — Services

Six disciplines,
one continuous system.

Most plants don't lack data — they lack a spine that connects it. We work across the full stack, from the field device to the report on the director's desk, and we own the joins between them.

01
AVEVA System Platform
Galaxy architecture, object templates and standards libraries built to scale across lines and sites. Migration from legacy InTouch, redundancy design, InTouch OMI visualisation and Historian configuration.
  • Galaxy design
  • OMI
  • Historian
  • Migrations

02
Custom integration
Bespoke integration software that brings field instruments and controllers into SCADA, third-party platforms — or into our own hub — whatever protocol they speak: DDE, SuiteLink, OPC DA and UA, Modbus TCP, and special drivers for ageing or proprietary PLCs. Lab instruments, weighing systems and ERP handshakes included — we reverse-engineer, wrap and expose them as clean, documented interfaces.

  • OPC DA / UA
  • Modbus TCP
  • Special PLC drivers

03
MES
Order execution, electronic batch records, genealogy and full material traceability — modelled on ISA-95 and fitted to how your operators actually work, not to a vendor's demo script.
  • ISA-95
  • Batch records
  • Genealogy
  • Quality gates
→
04
Data collection
A resilient acquisition layer with store-and-forward, time alignment and contextualisation at the edge. Signals arrive tagged, timestamped and trustworthy — the precondition for every metric downstream.
  • Edge buffering
  • Contextualisation
  • Historian
  • SQL / time series
→
05
Production reports
OEE, downtime analysis, yield, energy and shift reporting delivered where decisions happen — line dashboards, scheduled PDFs, Power BI models. One definition of a number, agreed once, used everywhere.
  • OEE
  • Downtime
  • Power BI
  • Scheduled PDF
→
06
Process intelligence
Live, interactive dashboards that pull KPIs from every layer into one integration hub — OEE, throughput, downtime reasons, yield, energy and quality, contextualised and streamed in real time. Role-based views for the line, the shift office and the boardroom, so everyone reads the same signal.

02 — Approach

Engineered,
then handed over.

Every project runs the same disciplined path: understand the process before touching the software, document as we build, and leave you with a system your own team can extend without us.

01

Assess

Walk the line. Map assets, signals, existing control layers and the reports people already keep in spreadsheets.

02

Architect

Define the object model, naming standards, network topology and data flow — signed off before a single tag is created.

03

Build & commission

Develop against templates, test offline, then commission in staged cutovers that never put production at risk.

04

Transfer

Full documentation, operator and maintainer training, and a support window sized to your shift pattern.

03 — Platforms

What we work with.

Deep in the AVEVA stack, fluent everywhere else. We stay vendor-honest: the right tool for the plant, integrated properly, rather than whatever carries the largest licence.

04 — Results

What changes
after go-live.

The value of integration shows up as time recovered and arguments ended — the shift meeting starts from a shared number instead of three competing spreadsheets.

Real time
Production status visible the moment it happens, not the morning after.
One truth
A single agreed definition of OEE, yield and downtime across every line and site.
Traceable
Batch genealogy from raw material to pallet, retrievable in seconds for any audit.

plant is doing today.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether the problem is architecture, data or reporting — and what a realistic first phase looks like.
