Data acquisition
Collects live values from PLCs, RTUs, meters and sensors across the plant network, at the rates your process needs.
Industrial Automation · SCADA
Inplux: custom SCADA, built around your plant.
Inplux is LIDAVI’s custom SCADA offering for real-time monitoring and control of industrial operations. Instead of bending your process to fit an off-the-shelf package, we build the screens, alarms, data flows and integrations your operators and engineers actually need.

What Inplux delivers
A SCADA system shaped to your process
Every Inplux project is configured from the same proven building blocks, then tailored to your equipment, your operators and your reporting needs.
Operator screens
Custom process graphics and overviews, designed with your operators so the right information is visible at a glance.
Alarms & events
Prioritised alarms with acknowledgement and event history, so abnormal conditions are seen and acted on quickly.
Trends & history
Process data stored over time for trends, comparisons and investigations.
Reports & analytics
Shift, daily and production reports and analysis tools that turn raw signals into decisions.
Custom automation
Sequences, interlocks and logic tailored to your operation to raise productivity and consistency.
Integration
Connects upward to MES, ERP and business systems, including Cardia MES and inShift, through clear interfaces.
Remote & web access
Secure remote and browser-based monitoring with role-based access for operators, engineers and managers.
Where SCADA fits
The supervisory layer of your plant
The ISA-95 model, the industry-standard way to describe manufacturing systems, places SCADA at Level 2: above the PLCs and field devices that run the process, and below the manufacturing operations and business systems that plan it.
- Down: to the control layerReads and writes to PLCs, RTUs and field devices.
- Here: supervisionOperator screens, alarms, history and reports in one place.
- Up: to operations & businessFeeds Cardia MES, inShift and ERP with trusted production data.
Security & standards
Industrial cybersecurity from the start
SCADA systems control physical processes, so security and lifecycle discipline are part of the design, not an add-on. Inplux solutions are built to follow these standards:
ISA/IEC 62443
Industrial automation security
The international series for securing industrial automation and control systems, including segmenting networks into security zones and conduits.
ISA-112
SCADA systems lifecycle
ISA’s committee work on good practice across the SCADA lifecycle, from planning and design through operation and maintenance.
ISO/IEC 27001
Information security management
The international standard for managing information security risks across people, process and technology.
Segmented networks
Control networks separated from business IT, with controlled paths between them.
Role-based access
Operators, engineers and managers see and change only what their role allows.
Audit trail
Logins, operator actions and configuration changes are logged.
Secure remote access
Encrypted, authenticated remote connections instead of open ports.
Backups & recovery
Configuration and data backups with a tested recovery procedure.
Lifecycle support
Patching, updates and reviews planned for the life of the system.
How we deliver
From site survey to a system your team owns
- Phase 1
Assess
Site survey, signal and equipment list, network and security review, and agreed requirements.
- Phase 2
Design
Screen designs with operators, alarm philosophy, data model, integrations and security architecture.
- Phase 3
Build & test
Configuration and development, then a factory acceptance test against the agreed requirements.
- Phase 4
Commission & support
Site acceptance test, operator training, go-live support and ongoing maintenance.
Engagement models
Start where you are
