The challenge
The existing Rockwell SCADA platform had reached end of life and needed migration to a global standard while preserving validated manufacturing operations, maintaining compliant reporting, and preparing for future MES integration.
Objectives
- Complete installation qualification activities
- Validate SCADA integrations
- Qualify reporting capabilities
- Preserve production continuity during migration
BEPC's role
BEPC provided project management, validation engineering, commissioning support, software validation planning, SCADA qualification, stakeholder coordination, and support for commissioning activities.
Scope & approach
Developed the software validation plan
Qualified installation and integrations
Verified read-only SCADA objects and reporting infrastructure
Coordinated with the global SCADA team, system integrator, and commissioning stakeholders
The team combined validation planning, integration qualification, reporting verification, and stakeholder coordination to create a controlled migration path from legacy SCADA to a global standard architecture.
Outcomes
The program established a validated migration path toward a standard SCADA architecture, improved long-term digital manufacturing readiness, and enabled future MES integration while maintaining compliance and operational continuity.
