“The Bluence system of Isotrol has allowed us to bring all plant control together in just one SCADA. It can communicate with the investors, trackers, PPCs, substations, counters, etc. All the elements are in a single system and besides, it features a communication protocol directed to our control center, achieving local and remote operation”.
