PLC & SCADA Upgrades and Control System Modernization

Aging PLCs, unsupported SCADA software, and end-of-life servers are a risk to uptime and security. We plan and execute phased PLC and SCADA upgrades that replace legacy equipment without a plant-wide rip-and-replace—protecting live operations at every step.

Modern automated production line with robotic equipment

Legacy PLC Migration

PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix migrations to ControlLogix and CompactLogix; Modicon Quantum and Compact migrations to M580; and conversion of undocumented logic into structured, maintainable programs.

SCADA Upgrades & Modernization

SCADA modernization to current AVEVA, Ignition, VTScada, or FactoryTalk releases, including alarm-system migration, historian migration, and new graphics standards.

Windows, Server & Communications Migrations

Windows and server migrations for SCADA and historian hosts, communications migration from serial to Ethernet, and hardware replacement planning.

Staged Cutovers, Testing & Commissioning

Frequently asked questions

Can you upgrade our PLCs without a long shutdown?

Yes. Migrations are staged with offline testing and planned cutover windows so most equipment changes over in short, scheduled outages.

Do you handle SCADA software and server upgrades too?

Yes. We upgrade SCADA software, historians, and the Windows servers they run on, including alarm and communications migrations.
