What we engineer
Nine disciplines. One accountable partner.
Safety, electrical, control, SCADA, robotics and commissioning under one roof, with no finger-pointing between subcontractors when the plant has to start.
SVC-02
PLC / DCS Programming
Structured, IEC 61131-3 compliant control software for discrete and process plants: greenfield builds, migrations and brownfield upgrades.
All major PLC & DCS platforms · IEC 61131-3
SVC-03
SCADA / HMI & SQL Integration
Operator interfaces, alarm management, historian configuration and SQL database integration that operations teams actually use.
All major SCADA / HMI platforms · Historian · SQL
SVC-04

FAT · SAT · Loop checks · Handover packs
Field to enterprise
Every layer of the stack, integrated.
Most integrators stop at the PLC or the SCADA. We carry the data from the field device all the way to your ERP, so a production order, a recipe or a weight reading never gets retyped by hand.
See the SCADA ↔ ERP integrationLEVEL 4ERP / BusinessProduction orders, recipes and material confirmations exchanged with ERP systems via REST and open APIs.
LEVEL 3MES / HistorianBatch genealogy, OEE, downtime and process historians behind custom applications.
LEVEL 2SCADA / HMISupervisory control, alarm management and operator graphics on any major SCADA platform.

LEVEL 0Field / ElectricalInstruments, AS-i networks, MCCs and LV panels: specified, drawn, built and loop-checked.
Data-driven operations
From plant-floor data to boardroom decisions.
The same team that writes your PLC code builds the dashboards above it, so the numbers your managers see are the numbers your controllers actually measured.
Real-time monitoring
Live plant KPIs streamed from the floor to any browser or phone, no VPN into the PLC required.
Historian & data logging
Every tag, batch and event archived to a central historian with full traceability and genealogy.
Energy monitoring
Per-line and per-machine power measurement that turns kWh into cost-per-unit you can act on.
OEE & downtime analytics
Availability, performance and quality tracked automatically, with reason-coded downtime.
Predictive maintenance
Vibration, temperature and runtime thresholds that flag a failing motor before it trips the line.
Custom dashboards
Role-based BI and web dashboards: one view for operators, another for the exec team.
Remote access & support
Secure, zoned remote connectivity so we diagnose and patch without flying an engineer to site.
Historical analysis
Trend, compare and export historian data to prove a change worked, or find out why it didn't.
TECHNOLOGIES & PLATFORMS WE WORK WITH
Proven on plant
Proven on live plants.
Uranium Plant Automation
Tanzania's first uranium processing plant: PLC control of every VSD and starter, full SCADA with historian, and an OT-to-IT bridge into the business systems.
