Industrial SCADA Solutions
New Frontier Technologies (NFT) is an Industrial Systems Integrator specializing in SCADA, PLC/HMI, IT & Automation solutions for industrial clients.
We design and integrate new SCADA systems, upgrade existing SCADA systems, and provide PLC programming and HMI configuration using hardware and software from industry-leading manufacturers that include Rockwell, Allen-Bradley, Foxboro, Wonderware, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Honeywell, Maple Systems, Emerson, General Electric, Inductive Automation/Ignition and Phoenix Contact.
Our SCADA solutions enable safe, remote operations for every applicable industry, including Oil & Gas, Energy/Utility and Water/Wastewater.
Why SCADA?
Industrial companies employ Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and applications to:
Increase safety
Reduce operations costs
Improve productivity of industrial control systems (ICS)
A SCADA system can refer to applications as small as a single touchscreen graphics terminal that supervises one compressor. SCADA systems may also refer to very large automation controller applications that include a NASA-style operations center controlling PLC equipment at thousands of remote locations around the world.
Customer Challenges
SCADA systems enable industrial automation. They are typically used with machinery and infrastructure in Oil & Gas refineries where the SCADA systems are co-located with physical machinery, or in a nearby control room. As the industry has matured, refineries have often added remote assets outside their core industrial complex, but haven’t integrated them with their SCADA systems due to technical and logistical difficulties. This lack of a continuous monitoring solution that includes remote locations leaves facility operators with zero visibility into the real-time health of their remote equipment and systems.
SCADA software systems which utilize the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have evolved to completely manage data collection, data integration and data analytics, especially when automating industrial processes across remote locations. Refineries and manufacturing plants who adopt new or transition existing SCADA system technology without the proper infrastructure planning will face significant operator and data integrity challenges.

About Industrial IT
Industrial IT connects with Operational Technology (OT) to deliver real-time data about physical operations, allowing immediate decisions to be made. OT is specialized hardware and software that changes, monitors or controls physical devices and processes. OT includes Specialized Industrial Computers, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and instrumentation. Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, which gather and analyze operational data from OT devices, are a perfect example of data used for real-time operational decisions. SCADA systems are used to monitor or control plant equipment in industries such as Agriculture, Food and Beverage, Discrete and Process Manufacturing and Oil and Gas Pipeline Operations.
