What RTP Corporation does

RTP Corporation is a privately held industrial-control-systems designer and manufacturer, founded in 1968 (originally as a division of Computer Products, Inc.) and headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, where all hardware and software are designed and built. The company specializes in safety-critical and high-availability data acquisition, control, and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) for the nuclear power, process-control, and broader safety markets, with products installed in 90 US nuclear plants and a global footprint spanning Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Bangalore (RTP Controls India Pvt. Ltd.) and Daejeon (RTP Korea).

The company's flagship platform is the RTP3000 TAS, a hybrid Triple/Quadruple Modular Redundant safety and control system certified TÜV SIL-1 to SIL-3 and Exida-certified, with IEC 61508-2010 compliance designed in from inception, a 1 millisecond scan rate, true voting-based redundancy with no switchover delay, and a published MTTFS exceeding 60,000 years in quad configuration. The hardware line includes SIL-3-rated analog/digital I/O cards, processor cards (3200T, 3201), MODBUS serial communications, and chassis that scale from 224 to over 100,000 I/O points. The accompanying RTP NetSuite software suite — sold as a one-time $2,500 unlimited site license — bundles RTPView (HMI), RTPSOE, RTPTrend, RTPReport, RTPADA, RTPFIFO, and RTPOPC under IEC 61131-3 programming.

RTP generates revenue from hardware sales (chassis, processors, I/O cards), one-time software site licenses with no annual maintenance fees, and engineering/professional services delivered through direct enterprise field sales, manufacturer representatives, and Tier-1 system integrators (Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions, Coleman Instrument, Worley, Citect, Pegasus Technologies). The company positions its systems at 40-50% lower capital cost than conventional DCS/SIS vendors, targeting long-cycle enterprise customers in nuclear utilities, steel, power generation, chemical, and municipal infrastructure. Leadership is headed by President & CEO Sal Provanzano.
