What PcVue does

ARC Informatique SAS, operating under the PcVue brand, is a privately held French software company founded in 1981 that develops SCADA and Building Management System (BMS) software for monitoring and controlling industrial and infrastructure assets. The company is headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, and operates through 16 wholly-owned subsidiaries plus a network of certified system integrators and value-added resellers, employing approximately 160 people globally. Its target verticals span smart buildings, power automation, water and wastewater, oil and gas, transportation, EV charging, data centers, and discrete/process industry.

The PcVue product architecture is a platform-plus-modules model. The core PcVue HMI/SCADA platform provides real-time supervision and control with 160+ native drivers covering BACnet, IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and other OT/IoT protocols, and scales from a single standalone station to enterprise-wide distributed deployments with millions of data points on-premises, in the cloud, or via mobile. Modular add-ons extend the core: WebVue and FrontVue (HTML5 web clients), TouchVue (mobile notification app with Firebase Cloud Messaging), SnapVue (digital remote assistance for field operators), and EmVue (energy monitoring). The platform is hardened with IEC 62443-4-1 ML2 and IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity certifications, plus ISO 9001/14001/27001, IEC 61850 Level A (DNV-tested), and BACnet BTL B-AWS/B-OWS certifications, positioning PcVue for critical infrastructure and OT environments. Three partner platforms — Dream Report (reporting), Alert (alarm management), and Canary (enterprise historian) — round out the analytics stack.

PcVue monetizes primarily through enterprise quote-based software licensing for the core platform and modules, supplemented by recurring maintenance/subscription and professional services delivered via the direct subsidiary network and certified partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; software download requires registration with country and department selection, indicating a sales-led motion. The customer base is diversified across government and enterprise buyers — including Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (water/wastewater), Sarawak Energy Berhad, USV Limited (pharmaceutical), FIRALP (EV charging), and infrastructure projects such as Karian Dam and Truong Vinh Tunnel — supporting multiple parallel revenue streams rather than concentrated exposure to a single logo.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Inductive Automation (Ignition): Inductive Automation's Ignition by Inductive Automation is a SCADA/HMI platform with similar unlimited-tag licensing and strong integrator ecosystem, making it the closest direct competitor to PcVue in mid-market industrial automation. Both compete for project wins across similar verticals like water/wastewater, manufacturing, and facilities.
• COPA-DATA (zenon): COPA-DATA's zenon software platform is a direct SCADA/HMI competitor with comparable vertical coverage in energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Both companies are privately held, mid-sized European-headquartered software firms targeting similar industrial customers.
• Iconics (GeneSys): Iconics (now part of Mitsubishi Electric) offers the Genesis64 HMI/SCADA suite targeting building automation, manufacturing, and infrastructure — directly comparable to PcVue's vertical coverage and mid-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

• AVEVA (Schneider Electric): AVEVA, now part of Schneider Electric, offers Citect SCADA and the broader AVEVA Plant SCADA / System Platform suite. It is a much larger incumbent with overlapping functionality, deeper OT/IT integration, and bundled industrial software offerings — frequently competing for the same enterprise SCADA deals as PcVue.
• Siemens (WinCC / TIA Portal): Siemens WinCC is a flagship SCADA/HMI platform tightly integrated with Siemens' SIMATIC PLC portfolio. As one of the largest industrial automation conglomerates, Siemens competes head-to-head with PcVue, particularly in automotive, manufacturing, and process industries.
• Rockwell Automation (FactoryTalk): Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk View and FactoryTalk SCADA products compete with PcVue in discrete manufacturing and process industries, bundled with Rockwell's Allen-Bradley controllers. Comparable to PcVue as a vertical-SCADA platform with broad industrial focus.
• Honeywell (Experion): Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) is a major DCS/SCADA platform used in oil & gas, chemicals, and power. Comparable to PcVue in process-vertical deployments, though Honeywell operates at a much larger scale with bundled control hardware.
• GE Digital (iFIX / CIMPLICITY): GE Digital's iFIX and CIMPLICITY HMI/SCADA products target similar discrete and process manufacturing customers as PcVue. Like other large incumbents, GE Digital bundles its SCADA software with broader industrial analytics and Predix platform offerings.
• Mitsubishi Electric (GENESIS64 / MAPS): Mitsubishi Electric's SCADA offerings (GENESIS64, MAPS) compete with PcVue in factory automation, building automation, and infrastructure monitoring, particularly across Asian markets where Mitsubishi has a strong OEM presence.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure / Power SCADA Operation): Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform and Power SCADA Operation directly overlap with PcVue in power automation, substation, and smart-building verticals — and the recent acquisition of AVEVA intensifies competitive overlap across the full SCADA/HMI stack.
