What we do
OT / IT integration
Connect plant-floor systems with business and cloud platforms while preserving determinism, security and resilience.
Industrial networking & comms
Design and configure industrial Ethernet, fieldbus and wireless networks for control, safety and information layers.
Protocol conversion & data gateways
Bridge legacy and modern systems (e.g. Modbus, Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, MQTT, serial).
SCADA, historian & reporting integration
Consolidate data into central SCADA, historians and reporting tools for real-time and historical analysis.
MES & ERP connectivity
Integrate production data with scheduling, quality, maintenance and inventory systems.
Cyber-secure architectures
Segregation, DMZs, firewalls and secure remote access aligned with best-practice industrial cyber standards.
Typical Applications
Smart factory / Industry 4.0 projects – Connecting machines, lines and sites into a coherent digital architecture.
Mission-critical control rooms – Highly available comms between control systems, test facilities and wider enterprise networks.
Robotics, AMR/AGV and conveyor systems – Coordinated data and control interfaces between mobile robots, PLCs and WMS/WCS.
Utilities & process plants – Securely linking remote assets, telemetry and central control for water, energy and process industries.
Asset and condition monitoring – Collecting and contextualising sensor and equipment data for predictive maintenance and reliability programmes.
We are vendor-independent and experienced across a wide range of:
Technologies & platforms
Industrial Ethernet and fieldbuses
OPC Classic / OPC UA architectures
MQTT and IIoT gateways
Data historians and reporting tools
Firewalls, VPNs and secure remote access solutions
On-premise, hybrid and cloud-connected architectures
Our approach
Requirements & interfaces
Capture functional, performance, security and data requirements.
Map existing systems, interfaces and constraints.
Architecture & design
Define network zones, data flows and protocol strategy.
Design for scalability, resilience and ease of support.
Implementation & integration
Configure network devices, gateways and servers.
Develop and test interfaces between PLC/SCADA, robotics, MES/ERP and cloud systems.
Verification, hardening & handover
Factory and site testing against requirements.
Cyber-hardening checks, documentation and knowledge transfer to your teams.
Why Applied Integration?
End-to-end view – We understand control systems, networks and software, so we design comms that work for operations, IT and security.
Mission-critical mindset – Architectures built for availability, resilience and safe failure modes, not just connectivity.
Lifecycle support – From feasibility and optioneering through to implementation, upgrades and ongoing support.
