2025: Introduction of SCADA system for instant data collection

The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology has developed a system for collecting data and managing next-generation devices. It will significantly speed up the introduction of automation of industrial processes of the enterprise and reduce the cost of it. In some cases, the use of the received SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) has already reduced the implementation time by three times. The basic development is presented in the preprint. The university announced this on January 10, 2025.

This technology was created by the developers of the Center for Scientific Programming of the Fiztech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics MIPT. The development is based on data practices and a reactive approach. In complex devices (for example, medical), the implementation time, and as a result, the development cost due to this development can be reduced by half.

Development began back in 2018 in conjunction with JetBrains Research. Then it was just an attempt to make a system that can be implemented in physical experiments quickly, without spending a whole year studying and deploying "well-deserved" systems such as TANGO or DOOCS. Then it turned out that the situation in the industry is no better than in science. Only very complex and inflexible systems are available, requiring lengthy study and configuration. Along the way, we found that there is a great demand for hybrid systems that include modeling and optimization in a package of tools for solving industrial problems and realized that the project has a great future, "said Alexander Nozik, director of the MIPT Center for Scientific Programming, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

As part of the project, the MIPT developers also implemented the Magix communication standard developed in conjunction with scientists from DESY, which simplifies the connection of new devices and their integration with other systems. The openness of the Magix communication standard makes it possible to choose devices from different manufacturers, which also allows you to regulate financial costs.

As of January 2025, development is at the TRL-6 stage. This means that a working prototype has been created, which is already being implemented in industrial projects. For example, the technology is used in the latest version of the satellite terminal, developed in conjunction with the MIPT Telecommunications Center. Also, the tools are introduced into the data collection system of the Troitsk nu-mass experiment to search for sterile neutrinos.

The core code of the developed technology is completely open, intellectual property rights belong to all participants in the development process. The copyright holder of some closed modules developed at the current stage of development will be the MIPT Telecommunications Research Center.

The developers are confident that the proposed technology will not only simplify the process of modernization and expansion of production capacities, but also increase the overall efficiency of enterprises. In a rapidly changing market, where speed and accuracy play a key role, this technology can be an important competitive plus.

In the future, the system will be used by enterprises to improve process management and improve operational efficiency in general. For January 2025, negotiations are underway to introduce the technology in small factories and in individual complex systems, such as medical devices and telecommunications equipment control systems.
