SCADA Modernization for a Power Facility
SCADA Modernization for a Federally Regulated Power Facility
The Challenge
A federally regulated electricity facility struggled with a legacy SCADA system that introduced:
- Up to 6-second delays in event and alarm visibility
- Fragmented alarm reporting across multiple systems
- Challenging integration with factory networks
- Outdated cybersecurity protections
- Reduced operator response times and increased risk of missed alarms
The Solution
We delivered a turnkey SCADA modernization solution featuring:
- AVEVA System Platform with real-time data visualization
- Centralized alarm management to reduce delays and improve clarity
- Thin client technology for multi-location operator access
- High-availability virtual infrastructure with redundant servers and storage
- Modern network architecture designed for security and performance
The Results
- Alarm delay reduced from six seconds to under 100 milliseconds
- Improved operator awareness and faster response times
- Highly reliable, redundant system architecture
- Seamless integration with corporate IT and cybersecurity standards
- Empowered local IT teams to manage and maintain the system independently
