Igniting the Masters at Work

Cases

Customer: Large international utility company

SCADA level 2 system

Our assignment was to:

  • Deliver a new Level 2 SCADA platform to monitor and operate renewable assets from a centralized control center. The platform consolidates the disparate OEM SCADA components and enables the customer to manage many renewable assets from a centralized fleet management platform. This facilitated personnel onboarding, minimized human error, and increased production output.
  • Rewriting the platform as a microservice-based platform using technologies such as .NET, MongoDB, KAFKA, MSSQL, Kubernetes, etc.
  • Implement a zero-trust architecture that complies with IEC standards and operates in the IEC zone model.

Customer: Large international utility company

Data center migration

Our assignment was to:

  • Support the migration of the SCADA infrastructure from a data center in Denmark to a data center in Germany.
  • Assist the client with the complex migration and optimization of the IT infrastructure to provide more scalability, security, and a modernized range of products for internal customers.
  • Design the infrastructure setup for the SCADA department, including ensuring that the SCADA software would work on the new platform.
  • Develop and update home-grown software to live in a DTAP (Development, Test, Acceptance, Production) environment, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring 3rd party software worked in the DTAP environment.
  • Ensure data from sites was available in all zones of the DTAP setup.

Customer: Large international utility company
