Case studies & project scenarios.
How we approach real infrastructure problems with industrial PLCs, RTUs, gateways and SCADA built on open standards. Every scenario below is labelled honestly, so you always know what you’re reading.
Transparency before anything else.
As our South African project list grows, this page grows with it. Until then, every scenario below is clearly marked so you always know whether you’re reading a completed CPS deployment or an illustration of how we’d approach a problem like it.
A named, completed CPS installation.
A real, active CPS client we can’t yet name.
A realistic illustration of how we’d approach this.
A real capability of the hardware and software we deploy.
Where our service lines
meet real sites.
Each one reflects the kind of scope, hardware and protocols we actually work with, applied to a realistic South African setting. Open any card for the full case study: the challenge, our approach, the system architecture and the outcomes we design for.
Recovering non-revenue water across a municipal network
RTU-metered wells, tanks and pump stations reporting into SCADA over IEC 60870-5-104, turning scattered losses into a zone-by-zone fix list.

Ending estimated water bills in a sectional-title complex
Smart sub-meters on every unit, read automatically and checked against the bulk meter, so each owner pays for what they use and leaks are caught within days.

Automating boreholes and irrigation on a fruit farm
Borehole pumps, reservoirs and irrigation blocks controlled from a phone, with pumps running on reservoir level and every kilolitre logged for the farm’s water-use licence.

Remote substation monitoring for a distribution network
RTU-based circuit breaker position tracking, energy analyzer readings and fault alarms, with instant data transfer to SCADA over IEC 60870-5-104.

Riding through load-shedding with a solar and battery microgrid
Rooftop solar, battery storage and the existing diesel generator run as one controlled system, so tenants stay powered through load-shedding and daytime grid costs fall.

Centralising HVAC and energy data for a commercial campus
PLC-level chiller, boiler and AHU control unified into one SCADA view, with per-tenant energy sub-metering and alarm acknowledgement.

Monitoring critical systems across a private hospital
Theatre air handling, generators, UPS units, medical-gas alarms and cold rooms watched from one system, with alarms escalated to the right technician in seconds.

Securing unmanned infrastructure cabinets in the field
Cabinet access, temperature and tamper status reported over the same RTU network already carrying energy and water telemetry: one platform, not a separate system.

Bridging Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-104 on one site
A real gateway capability we deploy: legacy PLCs of different ages and brands speaking different protocols, unified into a single SCADA feed without a rip-and-replace.
Read the case study
Getting plant data out without exposing a single PLC
Read-only data paths and Purdue Model segmentation, so operational data reaches SCADA and reporting tools while control-layer ports stay closed to the outside.

Daily, monthly and annual reporting straight from SCADA
A real SCADA capability we deploy: automated, station-level reports and historical comparisons, so compliance reporting stops being a manual export job.

Predicting pump failures before they stop a treatment works
Vibration, temperature and motor data from critical pumps feed models that flag wear weeks ahead, so repairs are planned instead of done in an emergency.
Read the case studyBuilt on proven
industrial hardware.
We specify certified industrial PLCs, RTUs, gateways and SCADA software built on open standards, chosen after the audit to fit your site. Open protocols mean new equipment works with what you already run, and the system can grow without a rip-and-replace.
- PLC, RTU, IoT gateway, HMI and SCADA software, specified per site
- IEC 61131-3 programmable controllers
- Open protocols: Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, OPC-UA, MQTT and more
- No hardware specified before the site audit
About this page.
Are these real CPS projects?
Not yet, and we’ve labelled them accordingly. Every card on this page is a "Representative scenario" or "Capability example" — a realistic illustration of the scope, hardware and protocols we work with, built from the hardware we deploy and our industry experience. As we complete named South African deployments, they’ll be added here as "Verified deployments," clearly distinguished from the illustrative scenarios.
What does "Capability example" mean specifically?
It flags a card describing something the hardware or SCADA software we deploy genuinely does today — a real protocol, a real reporting feature, a real integration method — rather than a hypothetical client situation. The capability is real even when the specific site described is illustrative.
Can you work with equipment we already have?
Usually, yes. The gateways we use bridge Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, OPC-UA and several other protocols, which is what lets us connect PLCs and meters of different ages and brands into one SCADA view without a full rip-and-replace. We confirm this during the initial audit before specifying any hardware.
Let’s build Africa’s
smart future together.
Rising energy costs, water scarcity, and tightening ESG mandates demand a partner who has solved these challenges before.
