What SIDAT does
SIDAT, spol. s r.o. is a privately held Czech limited-liability company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Prague (Jinonická 80, Business Park Košíře), 100% owned by Czech natural persons. In its 35th anniversary year (2025) the company reports more than 100 employees, turnover of almost 400 million CZK, and an installed base of roughly 500 active customers with over 3,500 cumulative delivered automation and production-informatics projects. The firm operates across six business branches — Comprehensive Automation, Production Informatics, Integration of Digitized Production (Industry 4.0), HW Deliveries, Service 24/7 and a Training Centre — and serves customers in beverages, food and dairy, stone mining and building materials, glass/chemicals/pharma, machinery/automotive and municipal/living-environment segments in the Czech Republic with select cross-border references in Slovakia, Poland and Germany.
The company's technology stack is anchored on Siemens SIMATIC PLC/OP/SCADA, Siemens SIMATIC PCS7 (incl. CEMAT), Siemens SIMOTION, Emerson DELTA V, Wonderware SCADA and ProLeiT Brewmaxx for control, with AspenTech IP21 and GE iHistorian as the two principal real-time databases, bridged to plant-floor protocols (S7, MODBUS TCP, CAN, PROFINET, PROFIBUS) via SIDAT's OPC Gateway. On top of this base SIDAT layers its proprietary SIDAS® product family — RTDB/RT (data acquisition and visualization, with the next-generation SIDAS® S3 platform), OEE (overall equipment effectiveness), CNC (machine-tool monitoring), MNT (maintenance scheduling) and IEM (energy monitoring) — and offers Siemens Opcenter Execution as the MES platform for larger multinational deployments. The firm also operates an authorised Siemens Training Centre (4,600+ graduates since 1995) and a multi-vendor e-shop (eshop.sidat.cz) carrying 10,000+ SKUs that doubles as an instant spare-parts source for its 24/7 Service Centre.
SIDAT's revenue is generated through a mix of project-based professional services (comprehensive automation, Industry 4.0 integration), recurring 24/7 managed-service contracts, hardware sales through the e-shop, per-attendee/per-course training fees (publicly disclosed in CZK, e.g. TIA-SERV1/PRO1/PRO2 at 19,900 CZK, TIA-SCL1 at 14,850 CZK) and software/MES licensing revenue tied to the SIDAS® suite and Opcenter Execution. Go-to-market is direct — enterprise field sales organised by six industry branches (each with a Business Development Director and dedicated Business Representatives), inside sales for HW/SW through a Sales & Delivery division, the company-owned e-shop for transactional HW, and on-site/online Training Centre delivery — with no third-party resellers or distributors referenced. The customer roster includes large multinational names such as Coca-Cola HBC, Siemens, Heineken, Molson Coors, Plzeňský Prazdroj (Asahi), Mondelez, PepsiCo, Nestlé, Unilever, Škoda Auto/VW, Continental, Magna, Honeywell, ConocoPhillips and Maersk Drilling, alongside a long tail of Czech mid-market enterprises and municipal utilities such as ÚČOV Praha and JE Temelín.
