SCADA Core
SCADA Core is the group's supervisory control foundation, stewarded by Smart Infrastructure and used well beyond it. Industrial Automation builds plant systems on it, and Savithru monitors solar generation with it. Protocol drivers, a historian, alarm management and HMI, once — not three times.
How determinism shows up here
Control decisions are made where the deadline is — at the edge. The supervisory layer supervises; it is not in the loop.
Inside the platform
Protocol drivers
Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, DNP3 and IEC protocols, tested against real devices rather than a specification.
Historian & time series
High-rate historical storage with retention tiers, rollups, and a query path that survives a decade of data.
Alarm management
Rationalised alarms with priority, shelving and audit — designed so an operator can act on them rather than drown in them.
Store and forward
Local buffering at the edge, so a lost link costs you latency and not data.
The shape of the work
IT/OT convergence without opening the plant floor
Process data climbs to the enterprise through a controlled conduit. Set-points come back down through the same reviewed path — never a flat network between a spreadsheet and a PLC.
Used across the group
- Smart Infrastructure water and utility networks
- Industrial Automation plant systems
- Savithru solar plant monitoring
Ownership
A domain platform, stewarded by Smart Infrastructure — the unit with the deepest knowledge of the problem. P9e owns it and licenses it across the group; stewardship is responsibility for maintaining it, not ownership of it.

Station networks, forecast ingest and derived products — the same weather serving a farm, a solar plant and a flight.
