Redesign of the SCADA system and integration with SGA in the Tank Depot
Company
GDELS (General Dynamics European Land Systems) is a leading company in the design and manufacture of armored vehicles and land defense systems.
Its tank design warehouse needed robust, modern communication between its WMS and SCADA system to ensure safe and efficient operational flow.
Challenge
Completely redesign the warehouse SCADA system and adapt it to integrate with the WMS, ensuring stable, reliable, two-way communication that is compatible with critical logistics management processes in the defense environment.
Problem
- Obsolete SCADA: The previous system did not allow for modern integrations or efficient expansions.
- Lack of synchronization: Warehouse data was not communicated correctly between SCADA and WMS.
- Operational risk: The absence of a reliable connection could lead to a lack of coordination in critical warehouse processes.
-
Need for adaptation: It was essential to adapt protocols, data structures, and internal logic to ensure robust integration.
Solution
How we do it?
We carried out a complete redesign of the SCADA system, modernizing its architecture, interface, and integration capabilities.
- Communication adaptation: We implemented the necessary modules to enable secure and compatible data exchange with the WMS (Warehouse Management System).
- Full synchronization: The new SCADA system receives and sends information in real time, ensuring uninterrupted warehouse workflow execution.
- Operational optimization: The system was tailored to support critical defense-sector operations, providing maximum stability, traceability, and control.
Results
- Smooth and stable communication between SCADA and WMS
- Complete modernization of the SCADA system in the GDELS warehouse
- Increased reliability in critical logistics operations for defense vehicles
- Robust and scalable integration for future expansions
- Process optimization and reduction of errors caused by lack of synchronization
