The Challenge

Aging control systems create blind spots in critical operations

Many water and wastewater utilities operate with SCADA systems that are 15–25 years old. These legacy platforms suffer from discontinued hardware, unsupported software, and security vulnerabilities that put operations at risk.

Operators struggle with incomplete data, unreliable alarms, and manual processes that should have been automated years ago. The result: higher operating costs, increased compliance risk, and reduced system reliability.

Our Approach

Modern SCADA architecture built for reliability and growth

We design SCADA systems from the ground up using industry-standard platforms like AVEVA (Wonderware) InTouch, Allen-Bradley, and Modicon. Every system is engineered for the specific needs of your facility—not a one-size-fits-all template.

Our approach emphasizes open architecture, cybersecurity best practices, and intuitive operator interfaces that reduce training time and improve response to process upsets.

FAQ

SCADA Systems FAQ

Common questions about this service.

What SCADA platforms does Industrial Systems work with?

We are an AVEVA (Wonderware) Certified System Integrator and also work extensively with Rockwell/Allen-Bradley FactoryTalk, Inductive Automation Ignition, and GE iFIX platforms.

Can you integrate a new SCADA system with our existing PLCs?

Yes. We regularly integrate new SCADA platforms with existing Allen-Bradley, Modicon, Siemens, and other PLC hardware. Our approach preserves your field-level investment while modernizing the supervisory layer.

How long does a typical SCADA project take?

Timeline varies by scope. A single-facility SCADA upgrade typically takes 4–8 months from design through commissioning. Multi-site regional SCADA systems may span 12–24 months with phased rollouts.

Do you provide SCADA system support after commissioning?

We offer ongoing support agreements that include remote monitoring, software updates, and on-call troubleshooting. Many clients maintain long-term service relationships with our team.

What states are you licensed to work in?

Our professional engineers hold licenses in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Hawaii, Utah, and Colorado.
