What Elipse Software does

Elipse Software, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil, is a privately held developer of SCADA, PIMS, and industrial automation software focused on real-time supervisory control of energy, water and wastewater, and process manufacturing operations. Its core product portfolio comprises Elipse E3 (general SCADA/HMI), Elipse Power (EMS and ADMS for electrical generation, transmission and distribution including a self-healing module), Elipse Plant Manager (PIMS with Python-based analytics and EPM Processor), Elipse Water (full water cycle management), Elipse FlexControl DCS, Elipse Mobile, Elipse Factory Batch (ISA S88 compliant), Elipse DCIM, and Elipse Alarm Manager (ISA 18.2 compliant). The platform supports more than 490 communication drivers spanning MQTT with Sparkplug B, OPC UA, IEC 61850, Modbus, BACnet, IEC 870-5-104, DNP3 and other industrial protocols, enabling broad device interoperability across heterogeneous automation environments.

The company operates a dual go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales through regional offices in five Brazilian cities and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with a globally distributed certified Solution Provider network of system integrators in 15+ countries that must complete training, submit case studies and maintain at least two certified programmers. Revenue is generated through perpetual and subscription software licenses, recurring maintenance and support contracts, and paid training and certification programs. With more than 50,000 systems deployed worldwide and a customer roster including Petrobras, Enel, Duke Energy, Taipower, CPFL Energia, Neoenergia, Engie, Brookfield Renewable, Light, SABESP, Vale, Klabin, and Fiocruz, Elipse has established a reference base concentrated in Latin American and Asian utility and process markets. The company has compliance with ISA 101, ISA 18.2, ISA S88, IEC 61970 CIM and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (deployed at Fiocruz on a 30,000 I/O point installation). Elipse is founder-managed under Ricardo Haetinger, with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and has not raised external funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• GE Digital (iFIX, CIMPLICITY): GE Digital's iFIX and CIMPLICITY are established SCADA/HMI platforms comparable to Elipse E3 in process and manufacturing automation, historically positioned alongside Proficy Historian for PIMS-style outcomes.
• Siemens (SIMATIC WinCC): Siemens offers SIMATIC WinCC SCADA and PCS 7 / PCS neo DCS alongside automation hardware. Comparable to Elipse at the SCADA/HMI/DCS layer but bundled within a much broader automation and digital industries portfolio.
• ABB (System 800xA): ABB's System 800xA is a flagship DCS with SCADA/HMI capabilities serving power, water, and process industries. Comparable to Elipse FlexControl DCS and Elipse Power on the process and energy automation layer, but anchored in ABB's full OT portfolio.
• Rockwell Automation (FactoryTalk): Rockwell's FactoryTalk View/Historian/SCADA suite competes at the SCADA/HMI and PIMS layer in discrete and process manufacturing. Comparable to Elipse as a SCADA/HMI platform serving factory and infrastructure customers.
• AVEVA: AVEVA (now part of Schneider Electric) is the broadest industrial software incumbent covering SCADA, MES, PIMS, and digital twin. Comparable to Elipse as a multi-vertical industrial automation software platform serving process and infrastructure customers with enterprise-scale deployments.
• Honeywell (Experion): Honeywell Experion is a DCS/SCADA platform for process industries (power, oil & gas, chemicals). Comparable to Elipse E3/Elipse Power/Elipse Plant Manager as a competitive SCADA/DCS incumbent with comparable refinery, utility, and process-industry deployments.
• Yokogawa (CENTUM VP): Yokogawa's CENTUM VP DCS serves power, water, and process industries globally with a strong presence in Brazil/Asia. Comparable to Elipse FlexControl DCS and Elipse Water at the process control and water automation layer.
• Emerson (Movicon, DeltaV): Emerson's DeltaV DCS and Movicon SCADA/HMI platform compete directly with Elipse Power and Elipse E3 in energy and process automation, especially in Latin American utilities and oil & gas operators.

Emerging players

• C3.ai: C3.ai offers an enterprise AI platform with energy, manufacturing, and water applications. Comparable to Elipse's EPM Processor + MCP Connector trajectory as an emerging player bringing AI/LLM capabilities to industrial operations, but different in delivery (cloud-first AI platform vs on-prem-first SCADA).

Direct peers

• Inductive Automation: Maker of Ignition, a modern unlimited-tag-license SCADA/HMI platform widely adopted across energy, water, and industrial verticals. Closest like-for-like SCADA/HMI software comparable to Elipse E3 and Elipse Power in business model, deployment, and target verticals.
