One site runtime sits beside your PLC. The desktop app, the phone app and the optional AI assistant all use that same runtime, with the same permissions and the same audit trail.
Every command from SCADAmate is a request. The PLC decides, and can refuse (for example, a restart on a latched fault). Maintenance mode only suppresses notifications; it is never an interlock bypass. SCADAmate does not replace safety systems, gas-detection shutdowns or your emergency procedures.
The site runtime works with no internet. Remote access is an option, not a dependency, and a lapsed subscription never deletes or locks away your data. Alarms, trends and records stay readable.
Remote sign-in goes through a hub and relay that the site connects out to. There is no inbound port to open on your control network, and the relay forwards authenticated sessions to the site.
Every action takes an actor and is written to an audit log. Permissions are per role, per component and per capability. Structural changes on a live site go through a change request. Sign-in supports two-step verification.
The assistant is optional and off by default. It uses your own AI tool, connected to the site's tools, and it sees what you see. Secrets, licensing and money approvals stay with people. Plant control is still the PLC's decision, however a request arrives.
Start with a read-only connection next to your current SCADA. Map the points you care about, compare, and move at your own pace. Manufacturer-style equipment templates for common compressor families speed up mapping (defaults to verify against your plant).
| Area | What's implemented |
|---|---|
| PLC protocols | Modbus TCP, OPC UA and EtherNet/IP drivers behind one driver interface, plus the plant simulator used in the demo. |
| Desktop | Electron and React app for engineering, commissioning and live operation. Windows, macOS and Linux builds exist (unsigned while in evaluation). |
| Phone | React progressive web app, installable on iOS and Android. Alarm acknowledgement, equipment lookup and location, service sheets, handover notes, push notifications. |
| Alarms and paging | Priorities, on-delay, deadband, acknowledgement, escalation, shelving, on-call roster, push and Twilio-compatible SMS and voice paging. |
| Records | Commissioning sessions and sign-off, service sheets with signatures, maintenance schedules (runtime, starts, calendar), documents with versions and search, audit log export. |
| Runtime | Node.js 22, TypeScript. Runs on a plant PC or small server beside the PLC. |
SCADAmate is substantially built. Here is how far each part has been taken, and what a pilot site adds.
Try it on the live demo.
