Beyond SCADA

Ignition gives you tremendous freedom in how you build a SCADA system. At scale, that freedom demands structure.

A deliberate architectural framework establishes the standards, patterns, and design decisions that keep a system reliable, maintainable, and adaptable as operations grow and technology changes.

We specialize in architecting, consulting, and building Ignition SCADA host systems for upstream and midstream oil and gas.

Our experience spans the full data path—from field controls and edge gateways through communications, secure access, historians, enterprise applications, and cloud systems.

We help establish the foundation that allows it to keep working—and keep evolving—for years to come.

Ignition SCADA Host Systems

The operational data foundation behind your business.

We design and build Ignition host systems for field-to-enterprise data acquisition, operator alarming, visualization, history, and integration—with a tag and application architecture that remains understandable as the system grows from thousands of tags to millions of tags.

The goal isn’t simply to deploy Ignition. It’s to build a platform your organization can confidently operate, maintain, and extend.

Edge & Communications

Remote sites, marginal coverage, multiple RTU platforms, and decades of installed equipment are realities of oilfield automation.

We help with hardware and protocol selection, communications architecture, polling optimization, store-and-forward strategies, and report-by-exception architectures using technologies such as MQTT and Sparkplug.

Move the data that matters, when it matters, without unnecessarily burdening field networks.

Systems Integration

Ignition rarely lives alone.

We integrate SCADA with historians, production and accounting systems, analytics platforms, identity providers, and other enterprise applications.

We can also help with the context layer that is essential for modern agents, generative AI, ML, and analytics platforms to start providing real value. 

The CORE Framework

Start with a proven foundation instead of reinventing one.

CORE is our approach to building the common capabilities every large SCADA system needs: architecture, standards, reusable patterns, security, navigation, alarming, data structures, integration strategies, documentation, and administrative practices.

More importantly, CORE captures the reasoning behind those decisions.

The result is not just a collection of components. It is an intentional framework your team can understand, maintain, and continue building on—supported by documentation, education, and decades of industrial SCADA experience.

Based in Midland, Texas

Modern SCADA host development can be performed from almost anywhere, but sometimes you need someone in the field.

We’re based in Midland, Texas, providing direct access to the Permian Basin when a project calls for site visits, commissioning support, troubleshooting, stakeholder meetings, or simply boots on the ground.
