OT/IT Systems IntegrationUK Energy Sector

Connect operational technology and enterprise IT on live UK energy infrastructure.

Connecting OT and IT in an energy environment requires engineers who understand both sides — SCADA systems, protection relays, and industrial control systems on one side, and cloud platforms, data pipelines, and enterprise IT on the other. Most engineers are strong in one. We place the ones experienced in both.

Our Approach

OT and IT experience — not one or the other.

Connecting OT and IT in an energy environment requires engineers who understand both sides — SCADA systems, protection relays, and industrial control systems on one side, and cloud platforms, data pipelines, and enterprise IT on the other.

Most engineers are strong in one. We place the ones experienced in both — with standards fluency from day one, experience on live UK grid infrastructure, and regulatory knowledge across IEC 61850, 62443, and NIS.

Real infrastructure needs real people who understand it.

Control systems, connected to the enterprise

SCADA and ICS integration
Connecting SCADA, DCS, and ICS to enterprise data platforms using IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, and Modbus.
Real-time telemetry pipelines
Data pipelines moving telemetry from substations, turbines, and smart meters to cloud analytics without latency risk to live control systems.
High-voltage substation transformer and automation equipment

Distributed energy and substation automation

DERMS and smart grid integration
Connecting DERs to DERMS and EMS platforms: EV charging, battery storage, and behind-the-meter generation.
Network modelling and digital twins
High-fidelity network replicas for simulating load shifts and fault scenarios without touching live infrastructure.
“OT/IT integration has to be delivered without disrupting live grid control. Our engineers have done this on active UK transmission and distribution infrastructure.”

Cap 03

Data standards and legacy protocols

Interoperability and data standards
GB Common Information Model, IEC CIM, and UK Energy Digitalisation Framework implementation.
Legacy protocol translation
Bridging legacy OT protocols — DNP3, Modbus, IEC 60870-5-101 — into modern data architectures without replacing operational equipment.
Challenges We Solve

The problems we hear most often from delivery teams.

01

Close the OT/IT skills gap

Senior engineers with experience in both SCADA environments and cloud data architecture are rare on a generalist bench.

02

Keep live systems running during integration

OT/IT integration has to be delivered without disrupting live grid control. Our engineers have done this on active UK transmission and distribution infrastructure.

03

Meet UK interoperability and security standards from day one

Our engineers arrive knowing IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 62443. No time lost to vocabulary or regulatory context.

04

Integrate distributed energy resources

Behind-the-meter batteries, EV charge points, and rooftop solar require OT/IT integration that legacy systems weren't designed to handle.

05

Process high-volume OT telemetry in real time

Substation, turbine, and smart meter data is high-volume and latency-sensitive. Our data engineers design pipelines that handle this without affecting control system performance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Operational technology (OT) refers to hardware and software that monitors and controls physical devices — SCADA systems, protection relays, industrial control systems. IT refers to enterprise computing — cloud platforms, databases, data pipelines. Connecting them safely in energy requires engineers who understand both.
