SCADA and AUTOMATION

SCADA – UTILITIES

Adrem Engineering holds a top national position in designing and implementing automation systems for companies in the energy and industrial sector. Our team of professionals has extensive experience in successfully completing SCADA projects. We are familiar with the applications, resources and constraints of the market as a whole and we are prepared to respond to any technical and economic challenge.
Whether it is designing, implementation, or adding a new function, changing an entire system, migrating to a new system or a first-time installation of a SCADA system, we have the experience, skills and resources required to offer the optimal solution.

The SCADA systems developed and implemented by Adrem Engineering have multiple applications:
• Electricity, natural gas, water and district heating
• Wastewater treatment plants and sewerage networks
• Communication networks
• Industrial applications, such as energy management
• Transport infrastructure applications (tunnels, electrical installations for electrified transport)

FUNCTIONS

The main functions of Adrem’s SCADA systems are:
• Data analysis, report generation and information display
• Control: protections, automations and specific interlocks
• Event and alarm processing
• Warnings and readings basic processing
• Event sequencing with the associated time in the stations
• Presentation of information in curves and reports
• Complete graphical user interface
• Measurement archiving per pre-established durations and instalments
• Calculations with system figures
•Protocols, such as IEC 60870-5-101/103/104, IEC 61850, Modbus, DNP3

EQUIPMENT

The main functions of Adrem’s SCADA systems are based on equipment which Adrem also provides:
• Sensors and control relays
• Remote control units (RTU)
• Programmable logical controllers (PLC)
• IT infrastructure equipment, communication and data viewing equipment (operating stations, controllers, processors, fully equipped automation cabinets, monitors etc.)
