Prodigy SCADA Monitoring, Control & Automation
Prodigy is Tascomp's HMI and SCADA software, developed and supported in the UK and shaped by more than 45 years of experience in automation and systems integration. A flexible platform for monitoring processes, controlling equipment and connecting systems.
SCADA Software Designed Around Your Operation
From machine-level HMI and process monitoring to plant-wide SCADA and complex automation systems, Prodigy provides a scalable platform for seeing what's happening, responding to events and controlling your processes.
Prodigy SCADA is a UK-developed control and monitoring system designed to give organisations greater visibility, control and insight across their operations. It has been used across a diverse range of applications and industries worldwide.
Combining real-time process monitoring, data acquisition, control, historical trending and reporting, Prodigy provides a centralised view of your processes — helping teams make faster, more informed decisions.
Designed for Real-World Environments
From individual machines and processes to factory-wide systems, Prodigy can be configured around your existing operation and scaled as your requirements grow.
Real-time process monitoring and control across your operation.
Data acquisition, historical storage, and real-time and historical trending.
Alarm management, notifications, reporting and data analysis.
PLC and system integration, scalable architecture, bespoke and OEM solutions.
Proven Across Industry
One SCADA platform. Many applications. Prodigy has been developed through real projects rather than around a single type of process or machine — deployed across applications ranging from production control and laboratory monitoring to specialist automation systems.
Monitor and control production equipment, production lines and factory-wide processes.
Capture and monitor complex systems, test environments and critical engineering processes.
Provide production monitoring, process control, data collection and operator interfaces.
Monitor process conditions, alarms, equipment and historical data where reliable information is essential.
Connect equipment and instrumentation to provide centralised monitoring and control.
Monitor distributed equipment and provide operators with a clear view of system status and alarms.
See What's Happening in Real Time
Prodigy brings information from your equipment into a single, intuitive operator environment. Live graphical displays can show:
Operators can move from an overview of the complete process to individual equipment and signals, providing the level of detail needed to understand what's happening.
Monitor & Control
Prodigy isn't just a visualisation layer. Where required, authorised operators can interact directly with the underlying automation system. Prodigy provides the supervisory interface while the underlying control architecture manages the detailed machine and process control.
Connect Your Automation Systems
Sites rarely have equipment from a single manufacturer or generation. Prodigy is designed to connect with a wide range of hardware and communications systems. Supported technologies include:
This allows Prodigy to bring information together without requiring an entire control infrastructure to be replaced.
Alarm Management
Alarms are one of the most important functions of a SCADA system. Prodigy provides comprehensive alarm management to help operators identify abnormal conditions and respond quickly. Alarms can be prioritised, displayed and recorded alongside the wider process information. Understand:
Historical alarm information provides an important record for troubleshooting, investigation and continuous improvement.
Historical Data & Trends
Prodigy can record process information over time, providing a permanent historical record of plant operation. Historical data can be used to investigate:
Trend displays make it possible to see how process variables change over time and understand what happened before, during and after an event. Prodigy also uses intelligent data recording and compression techniques to retain useful historical detail while managing storage requirements.
Process & Production Control
Prodigy can support a wide range of control applications, from straightforward machine interfaces through to complex production and process control systems.
Provide operators with an intuitive HMI for individual machines and equipment.
Monitor and supervise processes involving temperature, pressure, flow, level and other variables.
Connect machines, production information and operator interfaces across manufacturing operations.
Manage production recipes, parameters and repeatable operating procedures.
Bring multiple processes and areas together into one supervisory system.
Data Acquisition
Prodigy provides a central real-time database for signals and associated information. This creates a consistent source for:
Data can be collected automatically from connected equipment, with manual input available where operator information is required. This combination of automatic and manual data capture is particularly useful in production environments where the machine knows what happened, but the operator knows why.
Remote & Distributed Systems
Prodigy can be configured for distributed applications where information needs to be shared between multiple systems. Prodigy Interconnect allows real-time signal information to be shared between Prodigy systems, while remote workstation functionality can provide access to Prodigy applications from other connected PCs.
This makes it possible to build systems around the following, without treating each installation as a completely separate system:
Designed to Scale
Prodigy is designed to scale from relatively simple HMI and SCADA applications through to larger distributed systems. The underlying platform remains the same, allowing systems to evolve as requirements change.
Designed for Real Applications
Prodigy has been used as the foundation for systems where reliability, visibility and accurate data are critical. These are very different applications. That's the point — Prodigy is a platform rather than a single-purpose SCADA system.
Prodigy has been used for a laboratory monitoring system requiring continuous data logging, alarm monitoring and secure historical records.
In manufacturing, Prodigy has been used for factory-wide production control, including machine-level operator terminals, production counting, automated data capture, alarm monitoring, production reporting and recipe handling.
HMI, SCADA & Automation in One Platform
Prodigy provides a common platform across multiple levels of a system, allowing Tascomp to develop a system around the application rather than forcing the application into a predefined software package.
Give operators clear, intuitive interfaces for individual machines and processes.
Bring plant information, alarms, trends and control functions together.
Capture and store information from equipment and instrumentation.
Provide supervisory control over connected processes and equipment.
Support sequences, recipes, production processes and specialist automation requirements.
Designed for Your Application
Not every system needs the same SCADA solution. Prodigy provides a broad range of integrated facilities that can be enabled according to the requirements of each project. Its flexible licensing allows systems to be tailored so customers can select the functionality they actually need, while retaining the ability to expand later. This makes Prodigy suitable for:
Prodigy for OEMs
Put a proven SCADA platform inside your own equipment. Prodigy can also form the software foundation for OEM products and specialist machinery.
Tascomp provides OEM SCADA and HMI development based on Prodigy's existing facilities, allowing manufacturers to create customised operator interfaces and control applications without developing an entire SCADA platform from scratch. This can provide a faster route to market while retaining the flexibility to develop application-specific functionality.
Prodigy & PlantRun
Prodigy and PlantRun work at different levels of the manufacturing environment.
Together, they can provide a connected technology stack from the equipment and control system through to manufacturing performance.
This means Tascomp can support both the control of the process and the improvement of the operation.
