Transform Your Operations with SCADA Implementation
Modern SCADA software solutions provide a centralised framework for managing industrial operations, enabling greater operational clarity, system coordination, and long-term scalability across complex environments.
Improved Operational Efficiency and Productivity
SCADA software solutions automate monitoring and control, often reducing response times while supporting predictive maintenance to minimise downtime and accelerate operational workflows.
Enhanced Data-Driven Decision Making
Real-time and historical data visibility enables informed decisions across operations and management, supported by integrated data collection, trending, and analytics for continuous improvement.
Better Process Control and Quality Assurance
Automated control logic and real-time feedback reduce manual intervention and human error, enabling early detection of deviations to maintain consistent quality, safety, and operational stability.
Increased System Reliability and Uptime
With appropriate architecture and redundancy, SCADA platforms can support high uptime levels, ensuring system resilience through failover mechanisms, monitoring, and recovery planning.
Industry-Leading SCADA Solutions: Proficy iFIX and CIMPLICITY
Not every plant needs the same SCADA approach. As an authorised partner of GE Vernova, Allied Solutions delivers SCADA software solutions using two industry-proven Proficy platforms: iFIX for continuous process operations and CIMPLICITY for discrete, event-driven environments. At Allied Solutions, we support platform-specific customisation based on your operational requirements, and can recommend optional components (such as Proficy Historian, Proficy CSense and Proficy Operations Hub) depending on your scope and budget.
Proficy iFIX – Industrial-Strength SCADA and High-Performance HMI
Proficy iFIX is an industrial-grade SCADA platform designed for environments where reliability, speed, and continuous operation are critical. It delivers high-performance HMI visualisation, real-time monitoring and supervisory, and a robust system architecture suited for mission-critical applications.
Key capabilities include:
- Advanced alarm management: Includes advanced alarm capabilities and support for standards-based practices (e.g., ISA 18.2 alarm shelving), enabling operators to respond faster to critical events.
- High-availability configurations: Supports native SCADA redundancy and options such as geo-separated failover to reduce downtime risk.
- Modern web + IIoT connectivity: Highlights native HTML5 and MQTT support for more flexible access and integration.
Proficy iFIX is ideal for continuous and process-oriented operations—such as water/wastewater, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, power, and pipelines—where operational stability and rapid response are critical.
CIMPLICITY – True Client-Server Visualisation
CIMPLICITY is a scalable, client-server HMI/SCADA solution built for high-volume, enterprise-wide operations—from single machines to multi-site environments. It delivers true client/server visualisation and control with modern web and mobility options, supporting centralised visibility across distributed systems.
Key capabilities include:
- Client-server architecture: Enables centralised configuration and control with distributed access for operators, supervisors, and remote teams.
- Enterprise scalability for high-volume applications: Designed for large, fast-moving operations and high data volumes across plant and enterprise deployments.
- Open, standards-based connectivity: Supports broad interoperability through standards such as MQTT and OPC UA, with device connectivity options (e.g., IGS drivers).
CIMPLICITY is well-suited for large-scale industrial environments such as automotive/discrete manufacturing, transportation, and power/utilities, where centralised monitoring and enterprise visibility are required across diverse assets and locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SCADA and PLC?
A PLC controls individual machines or specific processes, while SCADA provides centralised monitoring, control, and data acquisition across entire systems, sites, or facilities.
How much does SCADA software cost?
SCADA software costs vary depending on system size, licensing model, and required features. Pricing is typically based on operational requirements rather than a fixed package. Please contact us for more detailed information.
Can SCADA integrate with existing equipment?
Yes. Allied Solutions’ SCADA software solutions, including Proficy iFIX and CIMPLICITY, support open, industry-standard protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, and Industrial Gateway Server drivers. This enables integration with existing PLCs, RTUs, and industrial equipment from multiple manufacturers.
How long does SCADA implementation take?
Implementation timelines depend on system scope and complexity, but most projects range from several weeks to a few months, including consultancy, design, implementation and testing & commissioning.
Do you provide training?
Yes. Allied Solutions offers both user and technical training for SCADA platforms to ensure teams can operate, manage, and maintain systems effectively.
What’s the difference between iFIX and CIMPLICITY?
iFIX is optimised for continuous and process-driven environments, while CIMPLICITY is designed for scalable, multi-user and large-scale visualisation environments.
Is SCADA secure from cyber threats?
Yes. Allied Solutions’ SCADA software solutions, including Proficy iFIX and CIMPLICITY, support role-based access control, secure communications, and hardened system architectures. When implemented using Allied Solutions’ security best practices, these platforms help reduce cybersecurity risks while supporting compliance with industrial security standards.
