SCADA & OT Systems

End-to-end SCADA design, deployment, and cyber-hardening for industrial and utility operations.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems give operators real-time visibility and control over geographically distributed industrial processes — from water utilities and power substations to manufacturing lines. Pontis designs, deploys, and cyber-hardens SCADA and OT architectures aligned to IEC 62443.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SCADA and DCS?+

SCADA is optimised for supervising geographically distributed assets with intermittent communications (utilities, pipelines), while a DCS (Distributed Control System) is optimised for tightly-coupled, continuous process control within a single plant. Modern systems increasingly converge, and Pontis selects the right architecture per application.
