SCADA Platform
Modern, browser-first SCADA for real-time data acquisition, visualisation, and supervisory control. A unified platform for HMI, alarms, analytics, historian, and reporting.
Built from the Ground Up for Industrial Operations
The Ath SCADA Platform was designed and developed from scratch — not configured on a third-party SCADA toolset. It is a completely generic SCADA platform with device tags, expression tags, configurable alarming, historian storage, and a high-performance web HMI that runs in any modern browser without client software installation.
The platform connects to field devices via industry-standard protocols — OPC UA, OPC DA, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, Ethernet/IP, and others including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Rockwell, GE, and ABB proprietary protocols. Alarm management follows ISA-18.2. The historian logs to a relational database for structured reporting and query access.
The platform is licensed and deployed for each client — not transferred as raw source code. It is actively used in a municipal sewage treatment network, tyre manufacturing, and gas metering applications.
Industrial Connectivity for Any Field Device
Designed for heterogeneous industrial environments — the SCADA platform connects to PLCs, RTUs, smart sensors, and IoT gateways from any manufacturer using open and proprietary protocols.
PLC / RTU / IoT Connectivity
Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, Ethernet/IP, OPC UA, OPC DA — including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Rockwell, GE, ABB, and other proprietary and open protocols. No third-party driver licences required. New protocol drivers can be added as configuration-level extensions. Supports multi-PLC, multi-site deployments from a single SCADA server.
Supervisory Control
Start/stop commands, setpoint write-back, mode changes, and direct actuator control with feedback confirmation. All control actions are logged to the audit trail with timestamp, user ID, and pre/post values. Configurable control confirmation dialogs prevent accidental commands. Setpoint limits and access permissions enforced by RBAC.
User Management & RBAC
Role-based access control with permission assignment at role, area, screen, and tag levels. Multiple security zones can be defined — operators see only their unit; supervisors see the full plant; management sees aggregated dashboards. Active Directory / LDAP integration available for enterprise deployments.
Integration & Interoperability
REST API for real-time and historical tag data — enables integration with MES, ERP, CMMS, and BI platforms. SQL database access for custom report development. OPC AE interface for alarm and event forwarding to enterprise systems. Supports push-to-cloud for IIoT architectures connecting plant data to Azure or AWS dashboards.
Operator-First HMI Built for the Real World
Real-Time Dashboards
Live tag values, equipment status, alarms, and KPIs updated at configured scan rates. Web-based — accessible from control room workstations, supervisor laptops, and mobile devices simultaneously. No refresh needed; real-time push updates.
Graphics & Mimics Editor
Built-in graphics editor for creating process mimic screens — drag-and-drop symbol placement, dynamic animation bindings, colour and animation conditions, and faceplate templates for standard equipment types. 5000+ symbol library covering pumps, valves, vessels, heat exchangers, instrumentation, and more.
Real-Time & Historical Trending
Multi-axis trend viewer supporting simultaneous display of multiple tags on configurable time scales. Real-time and historian data on the same chart. Overlay comparison across shifts or days. Export to Excel, CSV, and PDF. Printing support for control room hard-copy records.
ISA-18.2 Alarm Management
Alarm prioritisation (1–4 per ISA-18.2), acknowledgement workflows, shelving, and suppression logic. Devices-in-alarm view to immediately identify abnormal equipment. Alarm frequency analysis to identify nuisance alarms. Alarm event log with full audit trail. Email and SMS notification for critical alarms.
Virtual Tags & Expressions
Expression builder for calculated tags — arithmetic, logical, and conditional expressions across multiple field tags. Derived values computed without PLC changes. Virtual tags participate in alarming, trending, historian, and reports like any other tag. Expression Builder provides formula entry with tag name autocompletion.
MIS / Shift / Batch Reports
Configurable report templates: hourly production summaries, shift handover reports, daily MIS, and batch completion reports. Scheduled PDF and Excel generation with automatic email distribution to defined distribution lists. Ad-hoc report generation from the HMI. Custom report design available for specific regulatory or operational requirements.
Historian Storage
Time-series tag data stored to SQL Server database with configurable retention policies and scan resolution. Supports deadband-based compression to reduce storage requirements while maintaining data fidelity. Historical data accessible via HMI trend viewer, REST API, or direct SQL query for integration with BI tools.
Web & Mobile Access
Secure remote access to SCADA views from any device with a modern browser — supervisor laptop, tablet, or phone. Role-based remote access permissions. HTTPS encryption. VPN-compatible deployment for OT security compliance. Mobile-responsive process screens for field rounds and remote supervision.

Industries & Applications
Common Questions
Yes. The SCADA connects to existing PLCs via their existing communication interfaces — Modbus TCP, OPC UA, Ethernet/IP, or proprietary protocols. For most PLCs with a standard communication port, no hardware modifications are required. The tyre industry SCADA migration project is an example where existing Allen Bradley PLCs were connected without any hardware changes. We assess protocol compatibility during the scoping phase.
Timeline depends on site complexity, number of I/O points, and the number of HMI screens required. A single-site industrial SCADA with 200–500 I/O points and 15–30 screens typically takes 8–14 weeks from scope sign-off to site commissioning. Multi-site or large-scale deployments (like the 70+ station municipal network) are phased over longer periods. We provide a detailed project schedule at the scoping stage.
Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) are available covering corrective maintenance, software updates, and a defined number of configuration change hours per year. Support is provided directly by the engineers who built and deployed the system — not by a separate support team. Emergency support response times are defined in the AMC terms.
