Control systems
Commission the plant
PLC, SCADA and telemetry projects. Greenfield, or a brownfield upgrade planned around the change window and a rollback path. Panels when the job needs them.
South Africa · Africa
Control systems that keep the plant running.
Logic Control & Telemetry designs and commissions PLC, SCADA and telemetry projects for plants and utilities in South Africa and Africa. When the SCADA archive is not enough, we put TDengine Historian and IDMP on the plant so operations can investigate, report or forecast from years of tags with plant context, not only the last shift.

How a plant talks to operations
- L3
Historian & reporting
TDengine TSDB + IDMP. Years of tags, asset context, the reports operations already run.
- L2
SCADA / HMI
Operator screens, alarms and trends. The shift picture, not the archive.
- L1
PLC & telemetry
Siemens, Schneider, Allen-Bradley. OPC-UA / MQTT gateways that buffer on link loss.
- L0
Field & panels
Instruments, MCC, remote IO, control panels built to the plant standard.
Control stays in the PLC. The historian is for years of tags, not the last shift.
Who we are
A Pretoria system integrator
Logic Control & Telemetry (Pty) Ltd is a South African system integrator. We do industrial automation, telemetry and historian work for plants and utilities. Founder Manie Maritz has 18+ years delivering PLC, SCADA and IoT projects.
- ✓PLC and SCADA projects end to end
- ✓OPC-UA, MQTT and remote telemetry architectures
- ✓TDengine Historian and IDMP: evaluate, pilot and put into production, including next to the historian you already run
- ✓Water reporting workflows aligned to SANS 241
How to start
Pick the door that matches the job
Most enquiries are a plant that has to keep running, or a SCADA archive that cannot carry the reporting and investigation load. Say which one you are in and we will scope from there.
Historian
Put years of tags behind operations
When the SCADA archive is not enough, we put TDengine Historian and IDMP on the plant. Investigate, report or forecast from years of tags, including beside the historian you already run.
Services
From P&ID to a running plant
One integrator for control philosophy, panels, PLC/SCADA software and telemetry. A historian layer when you need years of tags, not just the SCADA archive.
Automation
A live plant, a PLC nobody fully documented, and a change window measured in hours.
We programme Siemens, Schneider or Allen-Bradley, commission on the outage you have, and leave as-builts the next shift can run.
Learn moreTelemetry & IIoT
Remote pumps and reservoirs that drop off the radio for hours.
OPC-UA or MQTT through a gateway that buffers on link loss. Control stays in the PLC. The gap fills itself when the link returns.
Learn moreAnalytics & Dashboards
A SCADA screen with every tag, and still no answer to whether this train is behaving.
Dashboards built from the decisions the shift already has to make, not from every available tag.
Learn moreReporting
Month-end still means copying numbers from SCADA into a spreadsheet.
Scheduled packs from plant and lab data, with gaps flagged. Water reporting aligned to SANS 241. We build the workflow; we do not replace the compliance officer.
Learn morePanel Building
A panel that has to match the plant standard, not a catalogue layout.
Drawings, assembly, FAT, installation and as-builts as part of the same automation job, not a separate hardware order.
Learn moreHistorian
TDengine Historian
The SCADA archive only holds the last shift.
Evaluate, pilot and put TDengine TSDB + IDMP into production. Greenfield, a replacement, or beside the historian you already run.
Learn moreTDengine
Historian with plant context, not just tag storage
TDengine Historian stores high-frequency tags and ties them to an asset model, the relationships between equipment, and your own manuals and SOPs. Dashboards, reports and AI-assisted investigation then start from how the plant is built rather than a flat tag list.
TDengine Historian
TSDB for high-ingest industrial time-series plus IDMP for context, panels and AI-assisted analysis.
Learn moreIndustrial AI
Asset context, TDgpt’s in-database forecasting and anomaly detection, and a language model you can run on your own network.
Learn moreAI root cause analysis
From a plant event to a structured draft with ranked candidate causes and the tag evidence behind each, for an engineer to review, not replace.
Learn moreAsset context & knowledge
Modelling assets and equipment relationships, then loading the manuals, SOPs and failure history that ground every answer.
Learn morePI System alternative
How TDengine Historian maps to PI storage, assets, dashboards and reporting, including a coexistence path if you are not ready to switch.
Learn moreHistorian with plant context
Operations
Investigate, report, forecast. From years of tags, with plant context.
TDengine IDMP
Asset model, operator panels, events, manuals and SOPs on the equipment they describe.
TDengine TSDB
High-ingest industrial time-series, long retention, ordinary SQL. TDgpt runs numerical work here.
PLC, SCADA & telemetry
Tags from the plant you already run. Sit beside the historian you already have if that is the path.
Industries
Water, mining, power and manufacturing
Utilities, mines, power operators and factories where a bad interlock, a dropped telemetry link or a month-end spreadsheet error has operational consequences.
Water & Wastewater
Distributed pumps, ageing SCADA, and a SANS 241 pack still assembled in Excel. We automate the works, the remote sites, and the month-end workflow.
Learn moreMining
Process-plant PLC and SCADA, remote infrastructure where the cellular or radio link drops, and tag history that keeps up with high ingest rates.
Learn morePower & Utilities
SCADA islands and alarm floods. We consolidate the picture operators work from, and keep operational records that stand up to an audit.
Learn moreManufacturing
Machines that do not share tags cleanly, and shift numbers that still live in Excel. We integrate the line, then put production on dashboards and reports the shift will sign off.
