SCADA & HMI Systems
Industrial visualization and process control systems for manufacturing
Effective process visualization is essential for monitoring production, identifying problems quickly, and making informed decisions. Industrial Control Services develops SCADA systems and HMI interfaces using Wonderware InTouch and Weintek platforms, providing operators with clear, intuitive views of your processes. From simple machine HMIs to complex multi-line SCADA systems, we create solutions that improve operational efficiency.

Common SCADA & HMI Challenges
Poor operator visibility - Difficult to see what's happening across multiple machines, leading to delayed problem response
No production data - Unable to track output, downtime, or efficiency without manual logging and spreadsheets
Alarm overload - Too many nuisance alarms, operators ignoring critical warnings, no alarm prioritization
Legacy HMI failures - Obsolete touchscreen panels failing, no replacement parts, original software lost
Multi-site monitoring - Need to view multiple facilities from central location, no remote access capability
Inconsistent interfaces - Different HMIs on each machine, operators confused by varying layouts and navigation
Our SCADA & HMI Services
HMI Development
We create intuitive touchscreen interfaces for machine control using Weintek panels. Clear graphics, logical navigation, proper alarm handling, and real-time data display help operators run equipment efficiently.
SCADA System Development
Multi-machine and multi-line SCADA systems using Wonderware InTouch provide comprehensive process visualization. We integrate PLCs, drives, and instrumentation into unified monitoring and control platforms.
Data Logging & Trending
Track production metrics, energy consumption, quality parameters, and equipment performance. We configure SQL databases, create custom reports, and build trending displays for analysis.
Alarm Management
Properly configured alarm systems with prioritization, acknowledgment tracking, and alarm analysis help operators respond effectively to problems.
Legacy HMI Replacement
Replace obsolete panels with modern Weintek HMIs while maintaining or improving functionality. We recreate existing screens and add improvements like data logging.
Energy Monitoring Integration
Integrate real-time energy consumption data into SCADA displays, providing operators with immediate visibility of electricity usage alongside production metrics.
Typical SCADA & HMI Projects
- Machine HMI development for new equipment installations
- Production line SCADA systems with SQL data logging
- Multi-site monitoring across multiple facilities
- Batch process recipe management and tracking
- Energy consumption visualization and trending
- OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) monitoring
- Legacy panel replacement and modernization
- Alarm rationalization and management system implementation

- Multi-platform experience - Wonderware and Weintek expertise under one roof
- PLC integration knowledge - We understand both the HMI and controller sides
- Data-driven solutions - Proper logging and reporting, not just pretty graphics
- Cost-effective platforms - Weintek offers excellent value for machine-level HMI
- Energy visibility - Integration with monitoring to track production efficiency
Real-World Example
A Staffordshire food manufacturer had five packaging lines, each with different legacy HMIs and no centralized monitoring. Operators couldn't see line status without physically walking to each machine, and production data was recorded manually on clipboards. We developed a Wonderware InTouch SCADA system integrating all five lines, added Weintek HMIs at each machine for local control, and implemented SQL Server logging for production counts, downtime tracking, and energy consumption per case produced. The system paid for itself in six months through reduced downtime (faster problem response) and eliminated manual data entry errors. Management now has real-time production visibility on their office PCs and tablets.
