Industrial Control Technology
for the Energy Transition

We develop industrial control software, hardware and edge technologies that help energy and critical infrastructure assets operate safely, intelligently and independently.

Industrial control is becoming more complex.

Energy assets combine BESS controls, EMS, plant controllers, SCADA, PLCs, RTUs, communications and cloud systems. The challenge is making their interfaces and operating responsibilities work together.

Fragmented equipment

Different vendors bring different data models, control limits and command interfaces.

Competing priorities

Energy costs, plant availability, battery reserves and grid constraints must be considered together.

A decision you can defend

A clear architecture, measurable acceptance criteria and documented interfaces make the choice easier to evaluate.

Control Link Platform

A common architecture for connecting equipment, coordinating energy and supporting informed operation.

01 / PLATFORM FUNCTIONConnect

Bring equipment data and commands through defined field interfaces.

02 / PLATFORM FUNCTIONControl

Execute local control within the equipment’s operating limits.

03 / PLATFORM FUNCTIONCoordinate

Align solar, batteries, generation, loads and grid interfaces.

04 / PLATFORM FUNCTIONVisualise

See equipment state, alarms, trends and operating history.

05 / PLATFORM FUNCTIONOptimise

Inform schedules with forecasts, historic data and compatible price feeds.

These are platform functions. Hardware, software licences, interfaces and deployment options are selected for each application.

Two product streams

The right architecture
for your energy project.

A practical control platform for commercial, industrial and remote energy applications, with a scalable path to larger plants.

01 / Small to medium applications

All-in-one microgrid & hybrid control

An integrated EMS controller, local operator interface and connected software for energy assets behind the meter. Coordinate solar PV, battery storage, generators and site demand through one control platform.

  • Local control with an integrated 7-inch touch option
  • Solar self-consumption, peak-demand and battery scheduling strategies
  • AI-assisted engineering and cloud energy optimisation
Explore the all-in-one solution ↗

An integrated control solution; generation, storage, switchgear and protection are specified separately.

02 / Larger grid-connected applications

Tiered plant control

A layered system of station control, coordination controllers and local equipment controllers. Match the architecture to the plant, dispatch requirements and grid connection conditions.

  • Station-wide supervision and grid-dispatch interfaces
  • Coordinated power allocation across equipment groups
  • Quality assurance and project-specific compliance validation
Explore the tiered architecture ↗

Hardware, control functions and grid requirements are confirmed for each project.

Make the technology verifiable.

Start with published specifications and defined capabilities. Then evaluate the proposed configuration against your operating requirements.

Documented hardware

Compare the integrated EMS processor, I/O, communications ports, temperature range and display variants in the specification tables.

Visible software functions

Review local control, station management, cloud monitoring and AI capabilities by deployment layer. Request a demonstration using your use case.

Evidence for your configuration

Request an interface matrix, acceptance-test scope, redundancy design and applicable conformity evidence before selecting a configuration.

AI-enabled engineering

Make the work
more repeatable.

AI assistance helps with programming, test preparation and review. Reusable configurations and clear equipment views help teams reduce repetitive work and avoidable human errors.

  • Assisted programming and engineering review
  • Structured configuration and test preparation
  • Engineer-validated changes before deployment

AI-assisted energy operation

Turn operating data
into better decisions.

Combine historical energy use, live equipment information and forecasts to inform storage schedules and operating strategies. Compatible regional tariff and spot-price feeds help target energy costs in the market where the site operates.

Market feeds, AI tools and operating constraints are configured by project. Actual savings depend on tariff, equipment, weather and site behaviour.

Explore software & AI ↗

Intelligence you control.

Technology should strengthen your capability. Our design priorities are open integration, accessible operational information and systems that remain understandable and maintainable.

Open integration

Specify interfaces and data exchange explicitly, including the selected protocol, device profile and direction of control.

Customer-controlled information

Agree data access, export, retention and backup requirements as part of the deployment scope.

Engineering-first design

Keep operating limits, acceptance tests and maintainable configurations central to product selection.
