What ATI does
ATI Automação e Tecnologia da Informação is a privately held Brazilian industrial-software and hardware vendor founded in 1986-1987 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, operating for 38+ years across three vertical areas: distributed solar generation, telecommunications infrastructure, and electric energy distribution. Its core offering is an integrated stack that pairs proprietary remote terminal units, data concentrators, and protocol gateways (the UTR 3288, UTR 1608, nUCD 2387, MEDBOX, Gateway Modbus GWMDB32, and DC-311 short-circuit detector) with cloud-based SCADA software platforms branded SGD (Supervisório de Geração Distribuída for solar plants), SGI (Sistema de Gerância e Supervisão de Infraestrutura for telecom and substation assets), and SGL (Sistema de Gestão de Segurança Lógica for logical access control). The stack communicates via Modbus, DNP3, and OPC/UA and is positioned as equipment-agnostic, integrating inverters, meters, and environmental sensors from multiple manufacturers into a single supervisory pane with KPI dashboards, remote commands, georeferencing, and API integration into ERP, O&M, and analytical systems.
The company monetizes through three streams: software subscriptions under a "SCADA as a Service" model, hardware sales of its proprietary UTR and concentrator devices, and project/implementation services covering solar plant design, SCADA deployment, and telecom automation. Its go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales to Brazilian utilities, distributed-generation solar operators, and telecom carriers, supported by an SEO-driven technical content hub and a consultative contact-form conversion motion; no channel partners, resellers, or self-serve marketplace listings are evident. Operationally, ATI claims a live footprint of 1,000+ MWp of monitored solar capacity, 4,980+ integrated inverters, 17,000+ data points, 100+ telecom sites, 3,000+ MEDBOX units in the field, and 16,000+ telecom users managed through SGL — concentrated entirely in dozens of Brazilian municipalities under a single-country, single-entity structure with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or external capital.
