Automation & IoT
From OT security and plant engineering to IoT and edge computing – we connect the industrial world with cutting-edge digital technology.
OT Security
Connected industrial systems are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks – with potentially severe consequences for production and safety. We identify vulnerabilities, develop tailored security concepts, and implement protective measures such as network segmentation, monitoring, and access controls – practical and end-to-end.
Plant Engineering & Expansion
When expanding or modernizing industrial systems, security, compatibility, and future-readiness must be considered from the start. We support the entire process: from standards-compliant planning (IEC 62443, IT-SiG 2.0) through secure implementation to long-term maintenance – always focused on availability, redundancy, and stakeholder alignment.
System Integration
IT and OT are converging – we ensure this happens securely and efficiently. From protocol harmonization (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus) to network segmentation and security-by-design. Our solutions connect PLCs, SCADA, and DCS with ERP, MES, or cloud systems, providing a holistic view of all components – for seamless processes and resilient industrial operations.
Substation Automation
ALPSCALE brings extensive experience in substation automation and engineering for energy infrastructure. We consult and support in the planning, implementation, and migration of telecontrol and SCADA systems. Our expertise covers all major IEC protocols: IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, and IEC 61850 – from specification and commissioning to integration into existing SCADA landscapes.
Industrial IoT
Modern wireless standards like LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and 5G combined with MQTT and Sparkplug enable efficient, standardized communication in distributed OT environments. The result: low latency, minimal data traffic, and easy scaling – ideal for industry and critical infrastructure.
IoT Gateways
IoT gateways collect machine data, convert protocols, and perform local preprocessing – only relevant events are forwarded. They form the backbone of any IoT architecture, creating a secure bridge between industrial OT and the modern IT world.
Edge Computing
Edge computing brings processing power and storage directly to data-generating devices and sensors – a powerful alternative to centralized cloud solutions with minimal latency.
Digitizing Legacy Systems
Digitizing legacy systems increases security of supply, efficiency, and resilience – without jeopardizing existing processes. We support the entire journey: from secure connectivity through integration into modern IoT/IT systems to continuous operational support.
