Industrial Automation Software
SCADA, HMI, PLC integration, data acquisition, alarm management, historian, and MES — developed by engineers who have 29+ years of hands-on experience in the industrial automation environments they build software for.
Automation Software Built by Automation Engineers
Industrial automation software is not a vertical application of general software engineering. It requires understanding of process instrumentation, control theory, communication protocols, safety interlock logic, alarm management philosophy, and the operational realities of a 24/7 plant environment where software failures have direct safety and production consequences.
Mehal Thakor's 29+ years — including 23+ years specifically building TAS and SCADA software at GE Oil & Gas, Emerson Process Management, and AST — means Ath Software understands what a field instrument is, how a PID loop behaves, why alarm floods happen, and what a reliable industrial historian architecture looks like. That domain depth makes every architectural decision in our automation software correct by default.
Our automation software projects include: SCADA for 70+ municipal STP stations, tyre industry mixing plant SCADA migration, gas metering skid web monitoring, gearbox test automation with ABB SCADA integration, and IIoT data acquisition from Siemens PLCs and 330+ energy meters.

Data Acquisition Software
Software that acquires data from PLCs, RTUs, smart sensors, flow computers, and field devices via OPC UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and proprietary protocols. High-frequency polling (down to 500ms), exception-based reporting, data quality filtering, and robust reconnection handling for uninterrupted operation in real plant environments.
Supervisory Control & HMI
Process mimic screens, control faceplates, trend displays, and alarm management interfaces — browser-based for no-client-installation access. High-performance rendering for large tag counts. Custom graphics for specific equipment types. Role-based access control at the screen and tag level.
Alarm Management (ISA-18.2)
Alarm philosophy implementation per ISA-18.2: prioritisation, setpoint rationalisation, shelving, suppression, acknowledgement workflows, and alarm flood detection. Alarm key performance indicators — nuisance alarm rate, standing alarms, chattering alarms — with configurable alert thresholds and OPC AE export.
MES & Production Systems
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) development bridging SCADA and ERP — production order tracking, material consumption, batch records, quality parameter logging, and OEE calculation. ISA-95 standard architecture for MES/ERP integration via REST API or message queue.
