Bluemation

Industrial SCADA Programming

We build custom SCADA systems for real-time supervision and control of industrial processes. Visualisation, alarms, historical data and secure remote access.

What is a SCADA System?

Control and supervise your plant with a SCADA system

A SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is the software layer that allows operators to supervise and control industrial processes in real time from a centralised station. It receives data from PLCs, sensors and actuators, displays it on intuitive synoptics and allows safe action on the process.

At Bluemation we develop industrial SCADA systems tailored to each process: from a small water treatment plant to large manufacturing installations with thousands of data points. We work with the leading platforms on the market and also build custom solutions when the customer's requirements call for it.

A good SCADA does more than show data — it turns information into operational decisions, reduces alarm response time and provides the historical data needed to continuously improve the production process.

SCADA Platforms

SCADA platforms we work with

Siemens WinCC

WinCC Basic, Comfort, Advanced and Unified. Native integration with Siemens S7 PLCs. Ideal for projects on TIA Portal.

Ignition (Inductive Automation)

Modern web-based SCADA platform. Scalable, multi-platform and with unlimited client licensing.

Wonderware / AVEVA

InTouch and System Platform for large industrial installations with high demand for historical data and reporting.

Topkapi (AREAL)

Powerful, flexible SCADA widely used in the utilities, water and energy sectors in Spain.

FactoryTalk (Rockwell)

Native integration with Allen-Bradley PLCs. Standard in projects with Rockwell Automation architecture.

Custom development

We develop SCADA interfaces on top of OPC-UA, Node-RED or web technologies when the project requires it.

Our Services

Everything our SCADA service covers

Synoptic and screen development

We design clear, intuitive synoptics that faithfully represent the industrial process, easing operation and reducing operator errors.

Alarm management

We configure prioritised alarm systems with email or SMS notifications and full historical logging for audits and analysis.

Historical data and reporting

We store process data at the resolution required and generate automatic reports on production, consumption and operational KPIs.

Secure remote access

We set up remote SCADA access via VPN or secure web technologies, enabling monitoring from any device.

PLC and MES/ERP integration

We connect the SCADA to PLCs via OPC-UA, Profinet or proprietary protocols, and integrate it with corporate MES and ERP systems.

Industrial cybersecurity

We apply OT cybersecurity good practice: network segmentation, user management, access auditing and automated backups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SCADA and when do I need one?
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a supervision system that centralises control and monitoring of industrial processes. You need one when you have multiple PLCs or pieces of equipment to supervise from a central point, when you need historical process data, structured alarm management or production reporting.
Which SCADA platforms do you develop on?
We mainly develop on Siemens WinCC (Classic and Unified), Ignition by Inductive Automation, Wonderware AVEVA and N3uron for industrial IoT. We also work with other platforms according to the customer's standards. Ignition is our usual recommendation for its flexibility, licensing and integration capabilities.
Can the SCADA run in the cloud or does it have to be local?
It can be local (on-premise), in the cloud or hybrid. Ignition and N3uron support cloud-first architectures with secure communication from the plant. For environments with strict cybersecurity or regulatory requirements (pharma, critical infrastructure), local or private-cloud architecture is generally chosen.
How much does it cost to develop a SCADA?
Cost depends on the number of tags, screens, complexity of alarm logic, reporting and platform licensing. A basic SCADA for a simple installation can start from €8,000. Complex projects with historisation, reporting and multiple clients may exceed €50,000. We provide a detailed quotation.
Can the SCADA be integrated with our ERP or MES?
Yes. We implement integration interfaces between the SCADA and ERP systems (SAP, Dynamics, Odoo) or MES, using OPC-UA, SQL databases, REST API or specific connectors. Integration enables automatic exchange of production orders, confirmations and quality data.
