Paint shop SCADA consolidation goes live with European Tier-1

A European Tier-1 automotive supplier has gone live with a consolidated SCADA platform across three previously-separate paint shop lines. The deployment was delivered with IEC 62443 Level 2 zone certification and IATF 16949-aligned traceability documentation.

What changed

Before: three independent SCADA systems, each with its own historian, its own operator workstation pattern, and its own audit story. Mean time to investigate cross-line quality issues was measured in days, not minutes.

After: single-pane visibility across all three lines. Cross-line correlation queries that used to require an export-to-Excel exercise now run in seconds.

Why this matters

"We can finally see our paint shop as one operation, not three. The IATF audit closed clean"— for the first time in five years." — Plant maintenance manager

Standards delivered

The deployment ships with full documentation packs covering IEC 62443 zone-and-conduit modelling, IATF 16949 traceability, and the European Machinery Regulation conformity assessment for the modernised parts of the installation.
