We are an engineering firm located in Melbourne, Australia, specialising in SCADA and telemetry including research, design and development.
Designing SCADA and Telemetry since 1993
Our experienced engineers and developers can create the perfect SCADA system for you, no matter what your needs. Whether you need a simple monitoring system or a complex multi-server redundant control system, we can help. We take pride in our work and use the latest technologies and techniques to ensure your system runs smoothly, effectively and efficiently, and looks great.
Our capabilities
We offer a wide range of services, including:
SCADA System Design and Development
We design and build SCADA systems.
System architecture, standalone & redundant servers, PLCs & RTUs, communication networks.
Graphical designs, layout, menu systems for easy navigation.
Alarm pages and banners, logic, reporting.
Engineering Services
We have over 30 years experience and expertise in engineering design for the SCADA and Telemetry industries.
This includes communications networks and protocols, RTUs, embedded processor design, programming of PLCs and RTUs.
Smart Algorithms
Algorithms for anomaly detection using advanced mathematical techniques, water burst detection, leak detection, optimising power consumption, storm water infiltration, reducing communications bottlenecks.
We pride ourselves not just on our expertise in advanced mathematics and database analysis, but also on our common-sense approach to algorithm development to ensure simple and meaningful results.
Optimisation and Simplification
Optimising data flow, reducing processor load, simplifying screens using ASM styling, streamlining systems.
Often an existing SCADA system doesn't need to be replaced, it can be optimised / modernised / decluttered to focus on the things that matter.
Database Design and Analysis
We have many years experience with database design, ensuring important information is instantly available and properly indexed.
Open connectivity, SQL, ODBC, JSON
Application Development
Design and development of .NET applications using Visual Studio for communications drivers, data entry and validation, reporting, etc.
Recent Customers and Projects
DustWatch
NSW Department of Planning and Environment: Environmental monitoring SCADA system.
DustWatch is a system used by farmers and primary industry for detection and mitigation of soil erosion, by monitoring particulate dust, wind speed and direction, and other weather measurements at sites across rural Australia.
Ilios designed and developed the SCADA system including GeoSCADA servers, 4G/5G and satellite modems, Kingfisher LP-3 RTUs & data loggers, DustTrak aerosol monitors; we have maintained and updated it over a number of years.
Alarms Optimisation
