SCADA & Telemetry Platform

See Every Sensor.
Catch Every Anomaly.

A mid-size European DSO operates 5,000-50,000 sensors generating 10-100 million readings per day. Without intelligent processing, that data flood creates alarm fatigue , IEC 62682 research shows that operators miss 15-20% of actionable alarms when rates exceed 6 alarms per 10-minute window. The result: a transformer overload warning at 2 AM gets lost in a sea of nuisance alarms, and your operators learn about the failure from customer calls instead of SCADA. Argus transforms that data flood into actionable intelligence with utility-specific dashboards, IEC 62682-aligned alarm management, and sub-second display latency , deployed from our Dublin headquarters with full GDPR-compliant data sovereignty.

Real-time visibility into your entire infrastructure , electricity, water, and gas , from one platform. Not three SCADA systems with three logins and three alarm philosophies, but one unified operational view.

Every Reading Type. One Unified View.

Electricity voltage, water pressure, gas concentration , different utilities generate fundamentally different data with different units, different safety thresholds, and different regulatory implications. A chlorine residual dropping below the parametric value under EU Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184) triggers national authority notification. A gas concentration rising above 20% LEL is a life-safety emergency requiring 112 emergency services notification. A power factor below 0.90 triggers reactive energy penalties under most European tariff structures. Argus normalises it all into a unified dashboard while preserving the domain-specific context each utility type demands , correct units, correct thresholds, correct regulatory citations, correct alarm escalation paths.

Electricity Grid Monitoring

Voltage, current, real and reactive power, power factor, and system frequency across your entire distribution network , from the TSO/DSO interface point through the primary substation bus to the last distribution transformer on the furthest LV feeder. Transformer loading trends that predict thermal overload 4-6 hours before IEC 60076 emergency ratings are exceeded. Capacitor bank switching status and reactive power flow that affect your TSO reactive energy penalty. Feeder recloser and sectionaliser operations that indicate temporary faults before they become permanent outages , all monitored against EN 50160 voltage quality requirements.

Transformer Overload Warning

Transformer TX-1482 at Primary Substation 14 operating at 94% of rated capacity. Top oil temperature 82 degrees C (alarm at 95 degrees C per IEC 60076). At current ambient temperature and load trend, emergency rating will be exceeded in approximately 4.2 hours if load continues rising. Recommended action: transfer 2 MW to adjacent feeder via ring main switching or deploy demand-side response.

Water System Monitoring

Pressure, pH, chlorine residual, turbidity, and flow rates across treatment works, distribution mains, pump stations, and service reservoirs , with every compliance-critical parameter flagged against EU Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184) parametric values and national transposition requirements. When turbidity at the filter effluent trends above 0.15 NTU (filter breakthrough warning threshold), Argus alerts the operator before the 1.0 NTU parametric value is breached. When chlorine residual at a dead-end main drops below the minimum operational threshold, a flushing work order auto-generates before a compliance breach triggers national authority notification.

Turbidity Compliance Status

EU Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184) parametric value for turbidity: 1.0 NTU at the consumer's tap. Treatment target: below 0.3 NTU in 95% of samples per best practice. Current reading 0.3 NTU is compliant but approaching the operational threshold , Argus will alert at 0.15 NTU trend rate to give operators 2-4 hours of lead time before a potential exceedance.

Gas System Monitoring

Methane concentration, line pressure, leak detection sensor arrays, cathodic protection rectifier output, and equipment fault monitoring across your entire distribution network. Every threshold is calibrated against national gas safety regulations transposing the EU Gas Directive (2009/73/EC), Marcogaz safety recommendations, and EN 15001 gas installation standards , not generic alarm defaults. A methane concentration rising above background triggers investigation at 5 PPM; it triggers evacuation protocols at 20% LEL (1% methane in air). Argus understands the difference between a nuisance alarm and a life-safety event, and it escalates accordingly through 112 emergency services integration.

Compressor Station 7

Bearing temperature 12 degrees C above baseline trend. Vibration within IEC 62682 limits but rising at 2% per week , consistent with early-stage bearing degradation. Compressor remains operational. Recommended action: schedule bearing inspection within 14 days per EN 13306 condition-based maintenance. If vibration exceeds 3x baseline per ISO 10816, initiate controlled shutdown and failover to standby compressor.

Intelligent Alarms. Not Alarm Fatigue.

The European Process Safety Centre and IEC 62682 research confirms that alarm floods contribute to 20-30% of industrial incidents. IEC 62682 (Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries) establishes benchmarks: a well-managed system should average fewer than 6 alarms per 10-minute period during normal operations and no more than 10 per 10-minute period during abnormal conditions. Most European DSO SCADA systems exceed these benchmarks by 5-10x because every threshold was configured by a different engineer over the past 20 years without a unified alarm philosophy. Argus provides IEC 62682-aligned alarm rationalisation, correlation, suppression, and prioritisation , so your operators focus on the 5% of alarms that require action, not the 95% that are noise.

Critical

Immediate threat to personnel safety, equipment integrity, or service to critical facilities. Requires operator response within 5 minutes. Audible alert, screen flash, and mobile push notification per IEC 62682 Priority 1 standards. Auto-generates emergency work order and notifies on-call supervisor via 112 emergency services integration where applicable.

Gas concentration above 20% LEL in enclosed space , 112 emergency services notification triggered automatically

Major

Significant operational impact requiring response within 15-30 minutes. Equipment operating beyond recommended thermal or mechanical limits. Continued operation risks equipment damage or cascading failure. Operator investigation and corrective action required before end of shift.

Transformer oil temperature exceeding 85 degrees C with rising load trend , IEC 60076 emergency loading threshold approaching

Minor

Parameter outside optimal operating range but within equipment ratings and safety limits. Does not require immediate action but should be addressed during current shift if resources allow. Monitor for trend escalation , two consecutive minor alarms on the same device auto-escalate to major.

Water distribution pressure at 2.8 bar in high-elevation zone , below 3.0 bar optimal range but above 1.5 bar minimum

Informational

Status change logged for operational awareness and event reconstruction. Device state transitions, scheduled event completions, communication link restorations. No operator action required , archived in the event log with GDPR-compliant retention per NIS2 Directive audit requirements.

Capacitor bank switched from VAR to voltage control mode per automated schedule. Battery backup inverter returned to float charge.

Intelligent Alarms. Not Alarm Fatigue.

Threshold violation (reading exceeds high or low setpoint per EN 50160 or IEC 62682)
Rate of change anomaly (reading changing faster than expected , indicative of sudden failure)
Communication failure (RTU/IED lost contact , potential equipment failure, power loss, or NIS2-reportable cybersecurity event)
Equipment fault (device self-diagnostic reporting internal failure condition)
Process deviation (calculated parameter outside expected relationship , e.g., flow without corresponding pressure)
Security event (unauthorised access attempt, configuration change, or physical intrusion per NIS2 Directive essential entity requirements)

Alarm Acknowledge Workflow

1

Alarm Triggered

Sensor reading exceeds configured threshold or anomaly detection algorithm flags deviation. Timestamp, reading value, threshold value, and device context captured.

2

Operator Notified

Alert delivered via dashboard (visual + audible for Critical/Major), mobile push notification, and SMS/email for after-hours on-call personnel. Escalation timer starts based on severity level.

3

Acknowledged

Operator acknowledges the alarm, recording their identity and assessment. Acknowledgement stops the escalation timer but does not clear the alarm , the condition must be resolved, not just acknowledged.

4

Resolved

Root cause addressed , reading returns to normal range or corrective action documented. Alarm cleared with resolution notes. Full lifecycle archived for alarm performance metrics (alarm rate, acknowledgement time, resolution time).

Your Infrastructure Speaks. Argus Translates.

Every sensor reading is a data point. Every anomaly is a warning. Every alarm is a decision point. But when you have 50,000 sensors generating 100 million readings per day, the challenge is not data collection , it is signal extraction. The DSOs and water utilities that prevent failures, avoid regulatory breaches, and respond in minutes instead of hours share one capability: they turn SCADA data into actionable intelligence that operators trust. Not alarm floods that operators tune out. Not dashboards that display numbers without context. Intelligence that tells the operator what is happening, why it matters, and what to do about it.

The difference between monitoring and intelligence is context. A reading of 0.18 NTU turbidity is meaningless without the context that the EU Drinking Water Directive parametric value is 1.0 NTU, the trend is rising at 0.02 NTU/hour, and at this rate the operational threshold will be breached in 6 hours if filter backwash is not initiated. Argus provides both the reading and the context , for every parameter, every utility type, every second.

Stop drowning in SCADA data. Start acting on intelligence that prevents the failures, regulatory breaches, and safety incidents that keep your Head of Network Operations awake at night.
