Modern SCADA for facilities that can't afford to stand still. AI-native monitoring, ISA-18.2 alarms, and OEE analytics — starting at $349/mo.
You shouldn't need a six-figure budget and a team of integrators to see what's happening on your plant floor.
$50K–$200K upfront plus annual maintenance fees that never stop growing.
WinForms interfaces from 2005. Your operators deserve better than grey buttons and tiny fonts.
Sitting on years of process data with zero intelligence. Anomalies go unnoticed until something breaks.
Six pillars of modern SCADA, built into one platform.
Connect via OPC-UA, Modbus, and BACnet. See every tag, every second, from any device.
Anomaly detection that learns your process. Ask questions in plain English with natural language chat.
Shelving, suppression, KPI tracking, and smart notification routing — fully standards-compliant.
Drill-down analytics, scheduled reports, and one-click PDF export for your management team.
Wizard-based configuration. No scripting, no integration consultants. Just point, click, and monitor.
Your data stays on-site. Deploy on your own hardware or private cloud — zero vendor lock-in.
The honest side-by-side you won't find on their websites.

Cortex SCADA was built by engineers who've spent years in control rooms, not Silicon Valley boardrooms. We've wrestled with alarm floods at 2 AM, debugged Modbus registers by flashlight, and cursed at SCADA software that hasn't been updated since Windows XP.
We built the tool we wished existed — modern, affordable, and designed for the people who actually run plants.
