Development Studio offers an integrated engineering environment for all supervisory SCADA, MES and HMI application development.
The unified engineering environment allows developers to build HMI and SCADA applications that are highly maintainable, as well as shortening time-to-market.
Various engineers, developing supervisory SCADA and HMI applications over many years, are likely to differ in their design practices. Such lack of standardisation ultimately leads to increased redesign and maintenance costs. Development Studio is an engineering environment created for the development, maintenance and management of applications. It offers a communal development environment that helps you drive standards and best practices across your business.
Development Studio offers an intuitive graphic editor that makes possible the creation of a full range of real-time process graphics and visualisations – from incredibly vivid graphics, to best-practice situational awareness symbols. Its template-based approach to HMI engineering facilitates the reuse of data across multiple applications while also encouraging the adoption of company standards. Additionally, Development Studio supports collaboration, enabling engineers, operators and IT teams to work together in creating more effective HMIs in less time.
Development Studio utilises a single, unified Plant Model that logically represents your processes, industrial systems and physical equipment, so making the design and maintenance of your HMI SCADA systems more efficient and consistent. This feature drives company-wide standards throughout your plant – or from one site to another.
Development Studio extends system lifecycle and maintainability. It does so through centralised application management and deployment in networked environments. Any modification or change applied to an application can be automatically propagated throughout the enterprise, saving engineering time, increasing consistency and minimising errors – while offering maximum flexibility.
Through its extensibility, Development Studio empowers customers to build richer applications with limitless customisation. This can be achieved by leveraging new data sources and the integration of disparate silos of information.
Development Studio also includes access to Integration Studio. This infrastructure-as-a-service development environment enables greater collaboration, rapid project creation, project archival, scalability on-demand as well as the capacity to manage multiple IS³ development projects at the same time.

Through the automatisation and standardisation of programming and control across the enterprise, as well as providing centralised transparency into operational performance, Control Configuration Manager enables a new standard in industrial agility and asset optimisation.
Cloud-ready and IIoT communication strategies demand a broad set of connectivity options. AVEVA Communication Drivers offer a single platform that is hardware-independent, helping you to enforce standards, promote consistency, simplify configuration and maximise communication uptime.
Create geographically distributed SCADA and Telemetry applications with increased ease by using native built-in drivers like IEC 60870, DNP3 and Modbus.
As Communication Drivers are hardware independent, you have the benefit of a sole interface for configuring, deploying as well as managing connectivity. Built on open-plant philosophy, Communication Drivers allow for smooth configuration and integration. These Communication Drivers connect to any OPC UA Server, while supporting open-communication connectivity protocols like OPC DA, MQTT and OPC UA.
The new Auto-Build feature assists engineering efficiency by reading the structure of a PLC programme and, based on the PLC schema, automatically building the Application Server templates and instances.
A communications protocol converter, Device Integration Gateway, connects clients and data sources that communicate using different protocols. It also acts as an OPC UA client. Device Integration Gateway now also supports message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol. This new feature is making device configuration, integration and interoperability simpler than ever before.
In order to facilitate increased adoption and integration of IIoT-edge device applications, free 32-tag tiny application support was introduced. This enables the integration of edge applications with 32 or fewer tags. It also enables online or System Platform connection, without the need for an additional licence.
Communication Drivers enable the consolidation of scattered architectures into fewer nodes. They facilitate the parallel independent processing of I/O by individual driver instances, which increases overall throughput or improves performance per driver and per node. A single-node license now covers as many servers as you may require in a single node.
Communication Drivers offer single-node, side-by-side upgrade capability. This unique capability makes it possible for you to upgrade to newer versions of your current drivers – without disrupting the continued operation of your legacy drivers.
Eliminate the need for restricting a single driver to a single node. It is now possible for you to run multiple, completely independent instances of the same driver on a single node. This unique feature allows for unlimited driver instances, which are restricted only by computer hardware specifications.
Citect SCADA offers intuitive configuration tools combined with powerful engineering features, enabling you to streamline and consolidate control from an increasing array of input sources. Powerful visualisation capabilities allow you a holistic view of operations, empowering you to not only optimise the present, but also catch a glimpse of the future in the design and acceleration on your journey of Digital Transformation.
Streamlined functionalities and connectivity to complementary software and hardware offerings enable Citect SCADA to deliver a robust, intuitive, real-time monitoring solution.
This allows customers to harness the value of their process data and take back control of their operations – with the bandwidth to focus on speeding up their journeys of digital transformation.
Significantly less engineering time with a context-aware workspace. An out-of-the-box library of symbols, faceplates, navigation, alarming tools and more.
Reduced operator distractions and increased awareness. This is achieved by drawing operators’ attention to areas that require their specific focus.
Improved operational productivity and real-time decision-making, with easily accessible integrated Alarm Cause, Consequence & Response information.

That is why the world’s leading chemical companies depend on AVEVA to actively drive value, agility and sustainability throughout their asset lifecycle.
Contributing around 5% to South Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) and approximately 25% of its manufacturing sales, the chemical industry is of considerable economic significance to the country. The largest of its kind on the continent, SA’s chemical industry is highly complex and extremely diversified, with end products often composed of a number of chemicals which have been combined in some way, in order to provide the required characteristics and properties.
Particularly prominent is the synthetic coal and natural gas-based liquid fuels and petrochemicals industry, with South Africa being the global leader in coal-based synthesis and gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies. The primary, as well as secondary sectors, are dominated by Sasol (through Sasol Chemical Industries and Sasol Polymers), Dow Sentrachem and AECI. Recently, these companies have expanded and diversified their interests in tertiary products, especially those products with the potential for export.
