What TECHSYS does

TECHSYS - HW a SW, a.s. is a privately held Czech joint-stock company founded in 1991, headquartered in Prague with branch offices in České Budějovice and Brno. The company designs, manufactures, supplies, and operates monitoring, control, and information systems for distributed infrastructure across energy, transport, telecommunications, water management, and industrial customers in the Czech Republic and selectively in neighboring countries. Its product architecture combines proprietary hardware (the Storm modular RTU family — Storm-01 through Storm-06 — plus DaKo data/telemetry concentrators, DLMS smart-metering concentrators, and protocol converters) with proprietary software (SCADA systems, SW Twister, SW TechSight, SW TINA for street lighting, monitoring and diagnostic systems, balance/energy-management systems, and transformer monitoring systems). Embedded firmware is developed on ARM STM32F4xx processors in an RTOS KEIL environment. The firm also delivers cloud-hosted monitoring and control as a managed service, plus professional services covering system design, installation, commissioning, FAT/SAT testing, and ongoing servicing. The full product suite is supported by an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2023, and ISO/IEC 27001:2023.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales, proprietary software licenses, system-integration and professional services, and a smaller but growing layer of recurring cloud-managed services. Distribution is direct via an in-house sales organization headquartered in Prague, with field coverage across Czech regions and occasional cross-border activity. The customer base is exclusively B2B enterprise, including distribution network operators, transport companies, telecom infrastructure operators, water utilities, and industrial facilities; the company reports thousands of telemetry systems delivered to the energy sector over its 30+ year history. Marketing is primarily technical — datasheets, trade publications (CK CIRED, EGÚ Praha Engineering, Elektroprůmysl, Energie21, Kovárenství), and a multilingual corporate website (Czech/English/Russian) — rather than demand-generation oriented. Selected DLMS protocol components have been open-sourced under GPL, signaling a measured openness posture for interoperability-critical modules.

• Survalent Technology (SCADA): Survalent supplies SCADA and ADMS solutions to mid-sized electric utilities worldwide, directly comparable to TECHSYS's Storm/SCADA-based distribution transformer station monitoring and dispatcher offerings.
• OSI (Open Systems International / Monarch): OSI's Monarch SCADA/ADMS platform is a direct peer in distribution and transmission SCADA for utilities, addressing similar DSO/TSO customers as TECHSYS, particularly with smart-grid and DERMS functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens (SIMATIC / SICAM / Spectrum Power): Siemens supplies SICAM RTUs, Spectrum Power SCADA/ADMS, and SIMATIC automation products covering the same distribution/transport/industry verticals as TECHSYS, but at global scale and with a broader portfolio.
• Landis+Gyr (smart metering / grid): Landis+Gyr's smart metering, DLMS concentrator heads, and grid management solutions overlap with TECHSYS's DLMS concentrators and energy measurement terminals, particularly for European DSO customers.
• Hitachi Energy (Lumada APM / RTU/Grid Automation): Hitachi Energy offers grid automation, RTUs, and asset-performance software directly competing with TECHSYS's substation monitoring and distribution SCADA offerings for European utility customers.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure / Power SCADA Operation): Global automation and energy-management incumbent whose EcoStruxure portfolio directly overlaps TECHSYS's SCADA, RTU, and energy-management offerings for DSOs and industrial customers, although Schneider addresses a far broader market and customer set.
• ABB (MicroSCADA / RTU560): Incumbent supplier of MicroSCADA and RTU560 platforms for substations and distribution networks — directly comparable to TECHSYS's Storm RTU and SCADA portfolio for utility customers, but operating globally with vastly larger resources.

Regional players

• Enika (Czech automation / SCADA): Czech-based Enika supplies measurement, automation, and SCADA solutions for energy, transport, and industrial customers in Czechia and Central Europe — closely comparable home-market peer to TECHSYS with similar vertical mix and customer base.
