Energy & Utilities
SCADA for Energy Production & Utility Management
Monitor hydroelectric plants, gas storage, solar farms, and industrial utilities with Ignition. Dynamic mapping, weather integration, and predictive maintenance.
Energy producers and utility managers operate critical infrastructure across wide geographic areas, often in harsh environments. Whether monitoring a fleet of hydroelectric plants, gas storage facilities, or industrial utility networks (compressed air, steam, cooling water), Ignition SCADA provides a resilient platform with dynamic GIS mapping, weather API integration, and ATEX-compatible IoT connectivity. Our experience with Energialys, Storengy, and industrial utility monitoring demonstrates proven capabilities in this demanding sector.
Key Challenges
Remote & Harsh Environments
Energy assets are often in remote mountains, offshore, or hazardous zones (ATEX). Reliable communication and ruggedized equipment are essential.
Grid Compliance & Reporting
Energy producers must report generation data to grid operators with precise timestamps and comply with market regulations.
Weather-Dependent Operations
Hydroelectric and solar production varies with weather. Integrating forecasts into SCADA enables proactive operations.
Multi-Site Fleet Management
Energy companies manage dozens of production sites with different equipment vintages and communication protocols.
Our Solutions
Fleet Hypervision
Centralized monitoring of all energy assets on dynamic GIS maps with real-time status, alarms, and production KPIs per site.
Weather API Integration
Embed vigicrues flood data, wind/rain/temperature forecasts directly in SCADA dashboards to anticipate production and risks.
ATEX-Compatible IoT
LoRaWAN sensors certified for ATEX zones, integrated natively into Ignition via our LoRaWAN module for gas storage and hazardous environments.
Predictive Maintenance
Vibration, temperature, and performance trend analysis to predict equipment failures before they impact production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ignition work in ATEX hazardous zones?
Ignition itself runs on standard servers outside hazardous areas. For field data, we use ATEX-certified LoRaWAN sensors and intrinsically safe PLC modules that communicate to Ignition gateways in safe zones.
How does Ignition integrate weather forecasts?
Using Ignition's built-in scripting and REST API capabilities, we connect to services like vigicrues, Météo-France, and OpenWeatherMap. Data is displayed on dynamic maps alongside your production data for correlated decision-making.
