renovo is a secure, high-performance modern platform for mission-critical industries. It is designed around modern IT standards for service-oriented application architectures, messaging, databases, UI, cybersecurity, and open APIs. The renovo unified platform encompasses the full range of control room applications, including SCADA, transmission management, distribution management, generation management, outage management, DER management, and network/pipeline management for fluid delivery systems such as gas, water, oil, etc.

Renovo is a Latin word: It means “to renew,” ” to restore,” “to make new again.” The name signifies the mission of the company and our principals to revolutionize automation technology once again, as we did in our previous professional endeavors, starting fresh without the weight of a legacy, inflexible platform, designed in the last two or three decades, which is now approaching the end of its useful life.

At the foundation of the platform is a proven, modern, secure architecture with a high-performance service-oriented containerized core, Kafka messaging, and self-balancing hypervisors that scale automatically as the computational loads change. This high-performance technology core encompasses all applications and modules comprising the distinct mission of your automation system.

All distinct novo…™ modules of applications deploy independently as containerized applications, allowing you to stand up what you need today and easily augment and add or expand application suites in the future on the same foundation. For example, implement a distribution SCADA system today, add an Outage Management suite later, and finally add the ADMS advanced applications when time and budgets allow or your requirements dictate.

Implementations can be on-premise or cloud based (on a private, secure real-time utility cloud infrastructure). Due to the modular containerized architecture, implementations and upgrades are done in record time and individual components patched separately as needed without impacting the entire operation of the system. Upgrades can happen in real time with near zero downtime. The platform is very forgiving when it comes to hardware and requires a fraction of servers employed by legacy competitor solutions. High availability clustered configurations can be supported across geographies using a minimum complement of 3 sets of servers (each set locally placed or dispersed geographically). No explicit failovers are required, and the architecture automatically switches application containers to functioning hardware, isolating the failed server.

If you want to align your OT with your IT strategy; reduce hardware and maintenance costs; update, upgrade and patch your OT system in record time; and offer a much higher level of performance and usability to your users and operations personnel, renovo is the only platform on the market to deliver all these benefits at the lowest cost of ownership.
