Let's talk about what is already installed.
Make and age of your regulators, whether an ILCMS is present, the protocol your controllers expose, the operating category you are targeting. With those four facts, one meeting is enough for us to know what is feasible and which tier to start at.

Enquiry form
Describe your requirement
The more precise your description, the more useful our first reply will be. Do mention schedule constraints and the work windows you have available.
Tenders
What we need in order to bid seriously.
An ALCMS response built without these elements is a response made at random. If the tender documents do not contain them, we ask for them — and we would rather say so before submitting a bid.
- Inventory of substations, cubicles and regulators: make, model, year, rating.
- Series circuit drawings and allocation per lighting system.
- Presence, make and version of any existing ILCMS.
- Interfaces exposed by the existing equipment and their documentation.
- State of the asset register: does it exist, and when was it last updated?
- Current and target operating category, per runway.
- Expected criticality tier: supervision only, partial control, full ALCMS.
- Workstations involved: tower, visual control room, electrical room, standby panel, national centre.
- Work windows genuinely available and the maximum duration of an intervention.
- Any authority requirements already notified for the site.
Our transparency commitment
If a requirement in the tender documents strikes us as incompatible with a safe deployment — typically, runway control requested in version 1 with no safety case — we say so in writing in our response rather than quietly pricing it. We would rather lose the contract than win it on a safety misunderstanding.
Frequently asked
What we get asked most often.
For supervision, almost always: either through the documented interface exposed by the manufacturer, or through physical acquisition via a controller and digital inputs where that interface is closed. For control, the answer depends on the target tier and on the risk assessment — and it is never given before the site survey.
- Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC UA client: natively supported
- Documented proprietary interfaces: dedicated driver
- Closed interfaces: fallback to physical acquisition
No. No operational interruption attributable to the deployment is acceptable, and that is a contractual requirement on our side. The existing system remains master throughout the connection phase, and the new system runs in observation for at least 60 days before any cutover.
- Work planned in low-traffic windows
- Fallback procedure documented and rehearsed
- Rollback executable in under 30 minutes
On national territory, without exception. No operational data, no log and no backup leaves the Kingdom without your written authorisation. You remain the owner of all data produced and can obtain a complete export at any time, including at the end of the contract.
- Hosted on your premises or with a national hosting provider of your choice
- Remote maintenance enabled on request, logged and revocable
- Audit log exported to your own collector
It is the most legitimate question anyone can put to us, and we answer it with contractual mechanisms rather than verbal reassurance.
- Source code held in escrow with a trusted third party, with release clauses
- No dependency on a non-substitutable proprietary component
- Software bill of materials delivered and kept up to date
- Skills transfer: your teams operate and configure the system without us
- Controller-level autonomy: even with no supervision, the lighting can be controlled
