What is IGSS?

Introduction

IGSS is full featured automation software – a SCADA system for process control and supervision – with a long row of releases since the start of 7-Technologies in 1984. At that time, 7T was the first company in the world to develop an object-oriented and mouse operated SCADA system under the name of IGSS – Interactive Graphical SCADA system.

With more than 30 years of operation, IGSS is a proven system in many different and varied industries. IGSS always offers backwards compatibility to secure our customers’ investment. IGSS has numerous drivers for many industry-leading PLCs and standard communication protocols and new drivers are added regularly. Our intuitive software includes all features required for an “all-in-one” license to create turnkey automation projects and can be customized to address the customer’s automation requirements and business needs.

Today IGSS is a part of the industry business unit within Schneider Electric.
