Renewables & power
IT and SCADA support for solar, wind, hydro and biomass operations
Generating the power is your job. Keeping the systems that run it secure, connected and reporting is ours. We do not engineer turbines or dams; we look after the technology around them.
Renewable and conventional generation share more technology than people assume. Solar arrays, wind farms, hydroelectric plants and biomass refineries all depend on instrumentation in the field, SCADA in the middle, and a control room watching it all.
That shared layer is where we work. We are a Texas-based technology company with a background in energy operations, and our experience with SCADA, field communications and control rooms applies across generation types.
What we will not do is claim expertise we do not have. We are not generation engineers. We make sure the systems around the generation are secure, connected and telling you what you need to know.
What makes IT hard here
- Many sites, no single view
- Arrays, farms or plants spread across a region, each with its own monitoring, and nobody seeing all of them at once.
- SCADA security and patching
- Control systems that need patching and protecting without interrupting generation.
- Ageing control hardware
- SCADA servers and control room consoles that have outlived their support.
- Reporting in spreadsheets
- Generation, efficiency and revenue tracked by hand rather than in live dashboards.
- Lean technical staff
- Operations teams built around generation, with little room for IT.
What we do
- One monitoring interface
- Every site managed and monitored from a single view.
- SCADA modification, patching and security
- Changes, staged patching and protection for the control systems.
- Field instrumentation and PLC work
- Instrumentation, PLC configuration and replacement, at ground level.
- Control room upgrades
- SCADA hardware and control room consoles brought up to date.
- Real-time dashboards
- Live reporting on generation and efficiency in place of spreadsheets.
- Finding new revenue
- Analysis of existing operations for efficiency and revenue you are not capturing yet.
- Feedstock inventory
- For biomass producers, feedstock tracked from field to refinery.
- Back office and extra IT staff
- Office systems and help desk, plus skilled IT staff when your team needs more hands.
Software and platforms we support
- Ignition
- FactoryTalk
- Wonderware (AVEVA)
- Emerson
- Esri
- Cradlepoint
Questions we get asked
Do you engineer solar arrays, turbines or hydro plants?
No, and we will not pretend to. We look after the IT and control systems around them: SCADA, instrumentation, communications, control rooms and reporting.
Which kinds of energy companies do you work with?
Oil and gas, solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal, along with power generation, transmission and energy services. We do not work in nuclear.
What does a first conversation cost?
Nothing. No purchase order needed. Tell us the problem and we will say whether we can help.
Services that matter most here
SCADA integration, patching and support, field communications, and control room design.
ServiceOil & gasSCADA, field communications, production analytics and compliance reporting, upstream to downstream.
IndustryHelp desk & managed ITThe whole IT function for a company that has never had one. Your people call us, and we answer.
ServiceThirty minutes, and you will know where you stand.
No obligation, no pitch deck. We will tell you what we would do and what the ceiling would be. If that is not worth it, you have lost half an hour.
