Operational and business networks merged
When control equipment shares a flat network with office systems, an ordinary IT incident can reach the plant floor.
SCADA / OT / IoT
EBTIKAR integrates and supports SCADA, operational technology and connected devices, covering industrial networks, PLC connectivity, data acquisition and operational monitoring.
- SCADA Supervision and control
- Networks Industrial connectivity
- Monitoring Operational visibility
Our approach
Operational systems need different engineering
In an industrial environment, availability and safety come before everything else. Changes are planned around production windows, tested away from the live process, and documented for the team on shift.
We work from the process description and the existing control philosophy rather than replacing them. Where legacy equipment cannot be changed, we integrate around it with gateways and protocol conversion rather than forcing an upgrade that production cannot absorb.
Segmentation between operational and business networks is treated as a design requirement. Data leaves the plant floor through a controlled path, and remote access is limited, logged and revocable.
Capabilities
Industrial and connected systems
Scope is agreed with operations and maintenance before design begins.
Common problems
Where operational systems fall short
These are usually discovered during an outage or an audit.
Data trapped in the control system
Production figures stay on a local historian, so planning and maintenance work from manual readings.
Changes nobody documented
A PLC program modified during a shutdown becomes an undocumented dependency for the next engineer.
Security treated as an IT concern
Control devices rarely support standard agents, so they need their own monitoring and access rules.
In operations, a change is a commitment.

Our standard
Planned, tested off-line, documented
Every change is prepared in a test environment, scheduled with operations, recorded with a rollback position, and documented so the shift team understands what changed and why.

How an OT project runs
Work is scheduled around production, not the other way round.
The track
The track
Assessment
Process review, asset inventory and an audit of the current network.
Assessment
Process review, asset inventory and an audit of the current network.
System areas
The parts of an operational system
Each area is designed with the team that will operate it.
Supervision that operators trust
Screens organised around the operator’s decisions, with alarms prioritised so a genuine fault is not lost among nuisance alerts.
- Alarm prioritisation
- Trends and historical data
- Operator access control
Method
How we run an OT engagement
Design is agreed with operations, and nothing changes during production hours.
Assess
Review the process, control philosophy, network and asset register with the operating team.
Design
Agree control, network and data architecture, including the boundary with business systems.
Integrate
Build and test off-line, then commission in an agreed window with a rollback ready.
Support
Monitor the installed system, keep documentation current and plan maintenance windows.
Results
What improves on site
The aim is fewer unplanned stops and clearer information for the team on shift.
Fewer nuisance alarms
Prioritised alarms let operators respond to the fault that matters first.
Production data in planning
Historian data reaches planning and maintenance without manual readings.
A documented plant
Networks, devices and changes are recorded, so maintenance is planned and audits are answerable.
