SCADA System Upgrade Improving Performance, Security and Data Visibility Across 17 Test Systems

A long-standing customer within the defence sector required an upgrade to their existing Prodigy SCADA system, originally installed in 2006.

The project involved supplying and configuring 17 test systems, alongside upgrading to the latest version of Prodigy SCADA.

The objective was to enhance system reliability, performance, and security, while ensuring continuity with existing operations.

The Challenge

Over time, even well-established systems require updates to meet modern operational demands.

Key challenges included:

• Maintaining system reliability across multiple test environments
• Improving overall performance without disrupting operations
• Enhancing system security in line with current standards
• Providing clear access to both live and historical data

The solution needed to build on an existing, proven system while introducing new capabilities.

Key Benefits

The upgraded system is designed to deliver:

Reduced Risk - Improved system reliability helps minimise the likelihood of failure across critical processes.

Improved Performance - Modernised software and infrastructure support more efficient and responsive operations.

Enhanced Security – Updated systems align with current security expectations, supporting safer and more robust operation.

Data-Driven Insight - Automatic data collection, combined with live dashboards and historical reporting, provides clear visibility of system performance.

The Outcome

The upgraded solution builds on an existing, trusted system while introducing modern functionality to support current and future operational needs.

By combining reliability, performance improvements, and enhanced data access, the system is well-positioned to support ongoing use within a demanding environment.
