PowerSYSTEM Center
Vendor‑neutral OT device management that keeps field reality, operations, planning, and compliance in lockstep
Complete substation device lifecycle management
PSC provides unified management across mixed‑vendor fleets with built‑in compliance, evidence generation, and audit trails. Proven at scale across 65+ countries and 6 continents, with NERC CIP compliance enabled in 39 of 50 US states. From inventory to firmware updates, configuration management to access control — all through native protocols with vendor‑approved workflows.
Why choose PowerSYSTEM Center?
Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
Specially designed to manage devices that are a part of your critical infrastructure protection (NERC CIP) compliance program.
Integrate all devices, regardless of manufacturer or model
Most device manufacturers and models are supported. Newer devices can be integrated in-field or through an in-house team of device communication experts.
Eliminate human performance issues and errors
Automate tasks to ensure work is done quickly and correctly every time.
Protect your existing device investment
Integrate existing devices with PowerSYSTEM Center to ensure their compliance with NERC CIP without having to replace them.

Designed by users, for users
Real users are part of our continual feedback loop to drive the design and implementation of features within PowerSYSTEM Center. User feedback is critical to ensure PSC solves their problems in a way that fits naturally with how they work.
Dashboards and reporting
Customizable dashboards and reports ensure you can quickly get the right information in front of the right users. Customization is done through simple UI-based query building tools or through PowerSYSTEM Center Query Language (PSCQL) for complex reporting and visualization.
- Custom dashboard builder
- PSCQL query language
- Automated report scheduling
- Export capabilities
Comprehensive audit trails
Every activity within PowerSYSTEM Center is logged into the system. This ensures a complete audit trail starting from initial installation all the way to the present time.
- Immutable logs
- Complete activity history
- Compliance-ready exports
- Searchable records
Smart notifications
Monitor activity records and generate immediate email notifications to the right people. Customize email templates to ensure the right information is sent to the right people.
- Real-time alerts
- Custom email templates
- Role-based notifications
- Report attachments
Work order management
Organize and manage field work. Assign workers to groups of devices and statements of work to be performed. Track the progress of workers on those assignments.
- Field work organization
- Worker assignment
- Progress tracking
- Temporary device access
Business integration
Automatically push activity records to syslog or SIEM servers. Use the REST API to build integrations with enterprise systems like IBM MQ, SAP, or SCADA EMS/DMS systems.
- Syslog/SIEM integration
- REST API access
- Enterprise system connectivity
- SCADA integration
Secure by design
PSC is deployed so device communications terminate at a server impossible to directly access from worker computers. No network bridging technology required, ensuring malicious packets from worker laptops never reach end devices.
- Isolated device communications
- No direct access paths
- No bridging required
- Air-gapped security model
Built for OT security
Role-based access control with MFA/SSO integration
Signed artifacts and immutable audit logs
Time-bound access with automatic expiration
Encrypted communications with certificate management
