AVEVA successfully validates its SCADA and MES software on AWS infrastructure

Posted: July 30, 2025

AVEVA, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is excited to announce the successful testing and validation of AVEVA™ System Platform and AVEVA™ Manufacturing Execution System deployment on AWS infrastructure. This milestone is a crucial moment in the digital transformation of industrial operations for our combined customers, and expanding the horizons of what's possible in cloud-based operational technology (OT).

Industrial cloud evolution: From AVEVA™ PI System™ to OT solutions

The journey began with the deployment of AVEVA PI System on AWS, which has become a cornerstone for data management in cloud environments for numerous industry leaders.

Building upon the proven success of AVEVA PI System on AWS over the past five years, we have now validated the deployment of AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System on AWS EC2.

A recent Control Engineering study, "The changing state of HMI/SCADA: Now and beyond," highlighted key challenges faced by industrial decision-makers. The study revealed that 59% struggle with system upgrades and maintenance efforts, 49% face data integration challenges, and 37% grapple with both total cost of ownership and ease of making changes. The successful testing of AVEVA’s operations control solutions on AWS directly addresses these pain points, offering a path to more efficient, integrated, and cost-effective industrial operations.

Cloud-enabled industrial operations platform

 The validation of AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System on AWS EC2 creates a comprehensive, cloud-enabled industrial operations platform. Organizations can now manage their entire operational technology stack—from data collection and historization through to advanced process control and manufacturing execution—within a unified AWS environment. This integration simplifies system administration, reduces complexity, and offers the scalability and flexibility inherent to cloud infrastructures.

Key benefits of AVEVA software on AWS

• Reduced maintenance effort: Cloud deployment significantly decreases the time and resources required for system upgrades and maintenance.
• Enhanced data integration: Standardized cloud interfaces and built-in connectivity options streamline data integration across systems.
• Optimized total cost of ownership: Dynamic resource scaling, based on actual needs, helps control costs more effectively.
• Increased flexibility: Cloud-based systems offer greater ease in making changes and adapting to evolving operational requirements.
• Unified management: A single technology stack for AVEVA PI System, SCADA, and MES simplifies overall system management and reduces complexity.

Future-ready industrial operations

As we finalize the comprehensive requirement documentation and architecture guidelines on AWS, we remain focused on ensuring seamless deployment experiences for our customers. This validated architecture leverages AWS's robust infrastructure while maintaining the high-performance standards that AVEVA's solutions are known for. The successful testing of AVEVA’s SCADA and MES on AWS, combined with the proven track record of AVEVA PI System, provides a clear pathway for comprehensive industrial digital transformation. It enables organizations to take advantage of cloud elasticity for backup systems, leverage emerging technologies like AI and ML, and maintain the reliability and security required for critical operational systems.

Commitment to industrial innovation and next steps

 AVEVA and AWS remain committed to driving innovation in the industrial sector. This successful validation of AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System on AWS marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide flexible, scalable solutions that meet the evolving needs of our industrial customers. As we continue to expand our cloud capabilities, we invite industrial organizations to join us in this transformative journey, leveraging the power of AVEVA solutions on AWS to achieve new levels of operational excellence, agility, and innovation.
