For integrators and consultants.
You already know the plant, its people and its control system. This gives you a
deliverable you can put in front of them: every tag mapped and described, on paper, without
touching the SCADA you built.
A utility rarely buys "contextualisation". It buys a SCADA upgrade, a service agreement or a report, from someone it already trusts. That is usually you. So this is built to be used by you, on your customers' exports, as part of work you already do.
What you can deliver
A mapping report of the plant's operating data, in Norwegian or English, printed or as a PDF: every tag with its quantity, unit and machine and the evidence for each; the tags that could not be placed, each with the reason; the readings whose data went wrong this week; and what needs a person on site. It covers step 3 (map) and step 5 (describe) of Norsk Vann's seven steps to digital maturity (report 300/2026) for the data in the exports, and it is a basis for the inventory of systems a waterworks must now have under digitalsikkerhetsforskriften. It does not make anyone compliant, and it says so on the page.
What it never touches
Nothing is installed on a PLC, a SCADA server or a historian, and no connection is made to them, unless you turn on the optional OPC UA reader, which reads and writes nothing. It reads export files you or the operators already make (CSV or Excel, in the plant's own language and clock) on one machine, and it sends nothing anywhere. It does not replace the control system or compete with it: it reads what the control system writes.
What it reads
Wide exports and one row per reading; Norwegian, Danish and English headers; decimal commas and thousands separators; local time with summer time, moved to UTC only where the data shows the change; Windows-1252, UTF-16 and Excel; a file per sensor or several stations in one file. Each of these is a test that runs on every change, written after real exports published by utilities in Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. We have not yet read an export from a Norwegian waterworks, and we would rather say so than pretend.
How to start
Write to [email protected]. You get one zip that runs on Windows with nothing installed, and the security pack for your customer's IT and OT security. Terms for using it on your own customers' plants are agreed in writing, before you start, and nothing about a plant is shared without its owner's yes.
