Across industries, many plants and facilities still rely on legacy control systems that have served faithfully for decades. While these systems may still function, they can create silos, limit visibility, and make modernization difficult.
That’s where AVEVA System Platform comes in: a flexible, open, and scalable solution that allows organizations to integrate old and new technologies without downtime or disruption.
The Challenge: Legacy Systems Limiting Modernization
Older automation systems often struggle to keep up with today’s digital demands. Common challenges include:
Data Silos: Legacy systems often can’t share data across departments or connect to enterprise-level tools.
Vendor Lock-In: Outdated architectures limit compatibility with modern software and hardware.
Maintenance Costs: Spare parts and technical expertise for older systems are becoming harder to find.
Security Risks: Older systems may lack the cybersecurity features required in today’s connected industrial networks.
For plants looking to move toward digital transformation, these challenges can stall progress — unless they have the right platform to connect old and new worlds.
The Solution: Unified Integration with AVEVA System Platform
AVEVA System Platform offers a single, scalable architecture that connects legacy assets with modern SCADA, HMI, MES, and IIoT solutions.
Here’s how it bridges the gap:
🔗 Seamless Interoperability: Connects multiple generations of systems using open communication standards like OPC UA, Modbus, and MQTT.
⚙️ Centralized Management: Provides a unified engineering environment for monitoring, control, and configuration across diverse assets.
🧠 Data Contextualization: Turns raw data from older equipment into actionable insights through built-in analytics and reporting.
🔒 Enhanced Security: Protects both legacy and modern systems with built-in cybersecurity layers.
With AVEVA System Platform , your team can modernize incrementally, without replacing every existing control asset — reducing cost and risk while increasing efficiency.
