Where shutting down is not an option.

Five solution families, one technical core: reliable acquisition, legible supervision, defensible historisation, and a control layer that only opens once safety has been demonstrated.

Airports Industry Ports Energy & water OT cybersecurity

01 · Airports

Airfield ground lighting

Airfield lighting is the last visual aid before touchdown. Its availability determines the operating category a runway can hold, and therefore the capacity of the airport. We supervise it circuit by circuit and lamp by lamp.

ALCMS supervision

Real-time status of every circuit: on/off, brightness step, output current, voltage, fault, local/remote mode, insulation resistance historised with per-circuit thresholds.

  • Geographic synoptic of the aerodrome
  • Electrical synoptic per substation
  • Supply monitoring and changeover timing

Lamp-by-lamp ILCMS

Ingestion of individual lamp data from existing systems — power line carrier or otherwise — with unique identifier, position, type, status and operating hours counter.

  • A failed light located in three clicks or fewer
  • Alarm on adjacent lights out of service
  • Availability rate per lighting system

Control & configurations

At tiers P2 and P3: control per circuit or by pre-set runway configuration, safety interlocks, and management of control ownership between tower, electrical room and standby panel.

  • Stop bars and runway guard lights
  • Follow-the-Greens guidance
  • Brightness slaved to measured visibility

Defensible compliance

Automated reports on availability per lighting system, threshold breach events, supply changeover times — exportable and signed for the authority and for audits.

National console

Consolidated status of every connected airport: active alarms, availability, work in progress, end-of-life equipment, cross-site comparison on standardised indicators.

Field work & CMMS

Controlled lockout regime, per-equipment intervention log, and a mobile field application that works offline with deferred synchronisation for night crews.

What we do not supply

No lights, no isolating transformers, no cables, no regulators, no civil works. We are not an airfield lighting manufacturer and we do not become their reseller: that neutrality is precisely what makes our abstraction layer credible. For hardware, we work with your existing suppliers.

02 · Industry

PLCs, SCADA and plant control systems

The same requirements as on a runway, applied to a production line: autonomy of the control level, fail-safe behaviour, traceability of every command, and no operational interruption attributable to the deployment.

Study, programming, commissioning and retrofit of programmable controllers. We work on new installations as readily as on ageing estates whose documentation has disappeared — in which case the survey is part of the package.

Migration of obsolete controllers with a parallel running period, and a rollback procedure tested before every cutover and executable in under 30 minutes.

  • Programming and reverse engineering of existing programs
  • Redundant fieldbus networks, fibre optic rings
  • Substation cabinets and acquisition enclosures
  • Hardwired and programmed safety interlocks
  • As-built documentation and wiring drawings

A supervision system designed to be read at three in the morning by an operator whose attention is split: three-tier alarm hierarchy, avalanche suppression by root-cause grouping, contextual alarm help, low-luminance night mode.

Time-series database sized for continuous acquisition, with compression and retention policies per data type.

  • Named acknowledgement, timestamping at source, suppression reason
  • Outbound notification with escalation if unacknowledged
  • Multi-year online retention, long-term archiving
  • No operational event can be deleted or modified
  • Automated periodic reports

What shop-floor data actually enables: overall equipment effectiveness computed from verifiable machine states, energy consumption per line, and drift detection on measured quantities before outright failure.

Every recommendation exposes the measurement, the threshold and the trend behind it. A technician must be able to challenge it with their own readings.

  • Availability and performance indicators per line
  • Preventive maintenance triggered on hours, cycles or measured drift
  • CMMS integration: work orders created from faults
  • Energy reporting and savings tracking after refurbishment

Native support for Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC UA client, and digital I/O through a controller. Where a manufacturer's interface is closed or undocumented, the fallback is physical acquisition — less elegant, always available.

Read-only REST API over HTTPS, authenticated and versioned, for your third-party systems. Export to CSV, JSON and signed PDF.

  • One isolated, documented driver per equipment family
  • Adding a manufacturer never changes the core
  • Per-driver test benches, replayed at every release
  • You remain the owner of all data produced

03 · Ports, energy & water

Distributed infrastructure, consolidated supervision

A container terminal, a network of electrical substations or an estate of pumping stations pose the same problem as an airport network: many sites, far apart, heterogeneous, with small technical teams. The answer is the same — a single core, configured per site.

PORTS

Terminals & quays

Supervision of terminal power, high-mast quay lighting, gantry cranes and handling equipment. Consolidated alarms and availability tracking per zone.

  • HV/LV substations and standby generators
  • Quay lighting and night marking
  • Energy metering per operating area
ENERGY

Substations & standby

Supervision of normal and standby supplies, changeover time measured and compared against the maximum permitted, generator sets, UPS units, incomers and outgoing feeders.

  • Changeover time measured, alarm on breach
  • Load and power quality monitoring
  • Defensible historisation for audits
WATER

Remote management

Pumping stations, reservoirs, treatment plants: remote acquisition, local buffering of data and automatic resynchronisation after an extended link outage.

  • Autonomous operation for at least 72 hours
  • On-call duty: notification, escalation, logbook
  • Offline mobile field application

04 · OT cybersecurity

An operational network is not an office network.

Our architectures follow the zones and conduits model of the IEC 62443 series, with a target security level justified per zone. The infrastructure we supervise often falls within the scope of Law 05-20.

Our security requirements in detail

Strict separation

No direct gateway between the operational and office networks. No direct internet exposure of any supervision component or below: all outbound traffic passes through a demilitarised zone under your control.

Remote maintenance off by default

Remote access is enabled on request, time-limited, named, logged, recorded, and revocable unilaterally by the operator. No permanent tunnel back to the supplier.

Tamper-proof audit log

Every action, login, configuration change and acknowledgement is timestamped and exported to an external collector, protected against deletion — including by an administrator.

Penetration test as a blocker

By an independent third party before every commissioning, then annually. Critical and major vulnerabilities block acceptance — this is not an end-of-project formality.

05 · Services

What comes after commissioning

A supervision system lives for ten to fifteen years. The quality of the service contract matters as much as the quality of the software — and that is where local presence stops being a sales argument and becomes something measurable.

Make and age of your regulators, whether an ILCMS is present, the protocol your controllers expose, the operating category you are targeting. With that, one meeting is enough for us to know what is feasible and which tier to start at.
