What is new in version 18
We are excited to present our latest IGSS SCADA Version 18 software – A release focused on secure and efficient operations, with an emphasis on the end user.
IGSS V18 is just released here in October 2025. It includes 2 new modules, even more security features and design enhancements that improve usability for both end users and system integrators.
We hope you’ll read more about some of the new features and improvements below to get an insight into the many new possibilities and improvements included in IGSS v18.
- IGSS Automate
This new module makes it possible to create automation logic that would otherwise be difficult to handle in PLCs, or would require extensive coding knowledge to be performed in VBA.
The Automate module makes it possible to define decision-based workflows using a simple visual user interface.
- Alarm Analytics
Our other new module evaluates alarm system performance in accordance with ISA-18.2 and IEC 62682 standards.
That may sound boring, but with a compelling interface it makes identifying excessive or nuisance alarms a walk in the park.
This helps you optimize the alarm configuration for the benefit of the operators.
- Property Editor
This new tool in Definition makes it easier to adjust visual settings of IGSS descriptors.
We believe this editor is a major step forward in simplifying both development and maintenance of projects, making it faster clearer and more accessible.
Multi editing is also available for the same descriptor types.
- Modernized User Interface
Our latest interface update introduce a more consistent and streamlined ribbon design.
With simplified, modern icons for visual appeal, more window sizing and control features, as well as a smoother experience with both compact and full screen modes, this refresh aligns with contemporary UI standards.
- Mobile Features
We continuously improve our IGSS Mobile App, and with the latest version you can arrange Favorites in folders, use the Home button to navigate back to start, as well as show your custom severity icons (V18).
Finally, the support for Dark mode has been improved.
- Security Enhancements
New integrity check of specific user files and IGSS updates is now performed and you can do a Authenticity check to verify your IGSS installation files.
Code robustness has been performed based on static code analytic tools to increase stability and security.
