renovo Platform
One Platform, Engineered To Support All Your Mission
renovo™ is a single, scalable architecture built for performance, secure operations, and ease of deployment and upgrades. It runs on standard mid-tier hardware with a minimum server footprint, using all field-proven IT based platform technologies, giving utilities and industrial operators a resilient and high performance platform for systems of many sizes and operating needs.
The platform fits the job whether the deployment is a compact control system or a sprawling distribution network. It can support few thousand points to several million without any rework, and it is designed to run on the mainstream hardware, databases, and virtualization environments your IT organization already trusts. As your mission needs grow, renovo stays straightforward and easy to expand, upgrade, operate, and maintain.
What the renovo Platform Brings
Core architecture
- Secure Linux foundation on the servers, with optional Windows or macOS client user stations/consoles.
- Standard SQL databases at the data layer, combining relational SQL compliance with time-series scale.
- Physical or virtualized deployment, on premise or hosted on our secure OT cloud.
- High-capacity real-time processing using our high-performance data engine and Kafka messaging.
- Support for large number of operator and corporate clients, local or secure web-based.
Security and field connectivity
- Segmented, defense-in-depth architecture aligned with NERC CIP principles.
- Distributed, IP-based field communications through novoCOM™, ready for network and serial RTUs, IEDs, PLCs, and substation automation computers.
- Broad modern and legacy protocol support, including DNP, Secure DNP, Modbus, IEC 101/104, ICCP, and more.
Operator experience and situational awareness
- Fast, browser-based operator interface (UI) through novoVision™, developed via an in memory-safe secure language
- Vector graphics, geospatial mapping, layering and decluttering and full pan and zoom.
- Situational awareness capabilities using advanced UI techniques, widgets, coloring, contouring, etc. spanning the entire operation.
- Secure access from authorized phones, tablets, and other mobile devices through the web interface.
Automation, analytics, and enterprise integration
- Agentic AI assistance at the console through Clara™, answering plain-language questions typed or spoken offering fast queries and insights.
- Clara resides on premise on system GPUs alongside the rest of the platform, with no data leaving the secure network. It informs and advises while the operator remains in control of every action on the system.
- Workflow and business-logic automation adding real-time intelligence to the tools your teams already use.
- Enterprise integration through novoAPI™ using HTTP/REST, SQL, ODBC/JDBC, Python, and Excel.
- Reporting and analytics through Excel®, Power BI, Tableau, or any ODBC/JDBC supported tool.
- Hyperscale time-series data storage and analytics through novoHIST™, capturing large real-time and calculated data sets and serving them back for trending and data analysis.
- And more…
Solution Modules
renovo™ provides the foundation for every solution in the Renovo portfolio, and the novo™ application suites extend it to meet the needs of various operational environments.
Rather than buy a monolithic system to grow into it, organizations can start with what they need today and expand over time, maximizing the value of their investment. Each suite is an independently deployable microservice, so new ones integrate easily alongside what’s already running without disrupting operations. Because every suite is built on a common platform, they are designed to work together from the moment they are deployed. This ensures the platform scales easily along with operational needs.
