SCADA systems, Ignition and WinCC – development, integration and migration
We develop, integrate and migrate SCADA systems for industrial facilities, buildings and infrastructure – with Ignition by Inductive Automation® or Siemens WinCC as the platform. From process visualisation and alarm management to OPC UA/MES integration and secure remote access.

Common situations we help with
- A legacy SCADA system (e.g. Citect/AVEVA) needs migration without production stops
- The system needs to be extended while the plant keeps running
- Communication between PLC, SCADA and MES is unstable or undocumented
- Customers, insurers or NIS2 are imposing new OT security requirements
- Remote access to SCADA/HMI needs to be secured in line with IEC 62443
- Operators lack a clear process overview or are flooded with alarms
- The previous supplier is no longer available and documentation is incomplete
Services
What we deliver
The full lifecycle of your SCADA system – from a new system to migration and ongoing development.
- New SCADA systems and HMI panels
- Product and process traceability – integration with MES via OPC UA
- Alarm management and alarm rationalisation
- Historian and trending
- Reporting and production dashboards
- Process visualisation and operator interfaces
- BMS dashboards for building operations
- Web-based visualisation and secure remote access
- Standards for UDT templates, tag naming and alarms – shared by the plants and the machine suppliers
- Technical and communication requirements for machines and lines – verified with suppliers through communication tests before and during commissioning (OPC UA, S7, ISO-on-TCP)

Technologies
Platforms
We are vendor-independent, with particularly deep expertise in the platforms where we have years of project experience and relevant certifications.
Ignition (Inductive Automation)
Our primary platform for new SCADA projects – Ignition 8.3. Web-based interfaces, alarm management, trending, historian integration and reporting in a single system.

OT security in line with IEC 62443
PLC, SCADA and HMI systems control physical equipment – a breach can halt production or damage the plant, not just leak data. We harden control systems in line with IEC 62443 principles and build security in from the start, not as a layer bolted on afterwards.
- Hardening of control systems: authentication, permissions and event logging
- Encrypted, authenticated remote access to SCADA, PLC and HMI

Proven in production
Large-scale SCADA and visualisation in demanding environments – in Sweden and internationally.
Automotive manufacturing
Connected over 300 machine cells and robot stations to SCADA/MES via OPC UA, S7 and ISO-on-TCP, across engine machining, gearbox manufacturing and battery production. Ignition SCADA system with thousands of tags, several SQL databases and dozens of dashboards. A real-time alarm system that flags process deviations the moment they occur.

FAQ
Common technical questions
Can we migrate from Citect/AVEVA without stopping production?
The migration is planned for operational continuity throughout the transition, with a documented rollback plan if anything goes wrong. Pace and scope are planned around the plant’s downtime windows.
Do alarms and history carry over to the new system?
Yes. Before anything is replaced, we map tags, alarms, history and visualisation, and alarms and tags are carried over to Ignition. History is either moved into Ignition or the old archive is kept available read-only – we choose based on the source system and how far back you need data.
Ignition or WinCC – how do you choose a platform?
Ignition is our primary platform for new SCADA projects: web-based interfaces and a licence (Ignition Standard) that follows the server, not the number of tags or clients. We use Siemens WinCC in Siemens-based plants – WinCC V7/V8 or WinCC Professional/Unified in TIA Portal. We are vendor-independent and start from the plant.
How do you secure remote access to SCADA and PLCs?
Remote access is encrypted and authenticated, production and office networks are separated, and traffic between zones only passes through defined communication paths. We work from IEC 62443 and build security in from the start.
