Dinalan

What Dinalan does

Dinalan SL is a privately held Spanish industrial automation and control systems integrator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Llodio, Álava, with a secondary office in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The firm delivers turnkey automation solutions spanning PLC programming, SCADA and MES implementation, electrical engineering, and custom industrial software development, serving enterprise clients across automotive (Mercedes Benz España), food and beverage (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo-Kas, General Mills), steel and metallurgy (Befesa, Tubacex, Tubos Reunidos, Sidenor, Nervacero/Celsa Group), aerospace (Aernova), and public infrastructure (Metro Bilbao, Aena, water consortia, Galindo wastewater treatment plant).

The company's core technology includes ADELPRO, a proprietary SCADA platform originally commercialized through a partnership with Siemens, as well as implementations on third-party stacks via its Siemens Solution Partner and AVEVA Expert Partner Elite positions, plus Wonderware Archestra expertise. Dinalan operates a fully integrated engineering model — combining control systems, software, and in-house electrical engineering — which allows it to deliver complete plant-level automation projects rather than discrete component work.

Dinalan monetizes primarily through project-based engineering services and turnkey automation contracts, supplemented by proprietary software (ADELPRO) and partner channel revenue from Siemens and AVEVA ecosystems. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, signaling formal quality and information security management. With 11-50 employees, Dinalan operates as a mid-sized specialist integrator in the Basque industrial corridor, differentiated by long-tenured enterprise client relationships and proprietary SCADA IP rather than scale.

Core offering

Dinalan provides industrial automation and control engineering services to enterprise and public-sector clients, delivering MES/SCADA system implementation, PLC programming and migration, electrical engineering projects, and custom industrial software development. The company's offering includes its proprietary SCADA product ADELPRO (historically commercialized through Siemens), complemented by advisory, turnkey integration, installation, commissioning, and post-project maintenance services across multiple industries.

Product overview

Dinalan is an industrial automation and control engineering company founded in 1992, offering a comprehensive portfolio of services organized around a core set of branded and proprietary offerings. The portfolio centers on three pillars: (1) proprietary industrial software — most notably ADELPRO, a proprietary SCADA system formerly commercialized through Siemens — complemented by MES (Manufacturing Execution System) implementation and SCADA systems using partner platforms (Siemens WinCC, Wonderware Archestra); (2) automation and control engineering services — covering PLC programming for Siemens/Schneider/Omron/Rockwell, electrical engineering projects (EPLAN-based schematic design), and turnkey project delivery; and (3) industrial consulting and outsourcing as an integral part of its value proposition. The company also maintains an active I+D+I (R&D) program developing PLC network management and plant communication solutions. Services are delivered as a unified offering, with the company acting as a single point of contact for clients, combining engineering, integration, installation, commissioning, and post-project support.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• ADELPRO A proprietary SCADA software product developed in-house by Dinalan, which was commercially marketed as a Siemens-branded product for several years. Currently maintained as part of the company's industrial software portfolio for industrial process monitoring and control.
• MES (Manufacturing Execution System) Manufacturing Execution System implementation service that delivers real-time information to users for efficient decision-making and production management, enabling effective traceability of finished products from order launch to delivery and improving process performance and yield. Implemented across industrial and public-sector clients.
• SCADA System Implementation Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system implementation service providing real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes, deployed using platforms such as Siemens WinCC, WinCC OA, TIA Portal Unified, Wonderware Archestra, AVEVA, Omron, Rockwell, Vijeo Designer, and EcoStruxure OPC UA Server Expert.
• PLC Programming and Migration Industrial automation service covering programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from Siemens, Schneider, Omron, and Rockwell, including direct and indirect migration projects from older to newer PLC versions.
• Electrical Engineering Projects Comprehensive electrical engineering services including electrical schematic design using EPLAN, modernization and updating of existing electrical panels, and preventive maintenance of electrical installations for industrial clients.
• Industrial Consulting Advisory and technical support service for companies lacking an internal control/programming department, covering process improvement projects, machine optimization (production times, vision systems, sensor-based rejection of defective products), modernization, and technology partnership for automation and digitalization.
• Industrial Software Development Custom Windows, Linux, Unix, Android, and embedded software development for proprietary electronics, supporting applications including piece tracking, order management, data collection, measurements, production control, and database management using languages such as Python, C++, JavaScript, .NET, Rust, HTML5, Kotlin, and Swift.
• Outsourcing Flexible outsourcing service tailored to client needs, providing specialized labor as reinforcement for client departments or full task management with objective-based delivery, acting as an external engineering department for industrial clients.
• I+D+I (Research, Development and Innovation) Custom industrial software development through applied R&D, including traceability projects, electronic design for custom machines, and current development of network PLC management software (version control), critical plant communication systems, and process data sampling and historization across multiple production stages.
• Support and Assistance Service Technical support service covering both emergency machine-down assistance (a qualified technician en route to the plant within 2 hours in 90% of cases) and planned assistance for non-critical situations across installed industrial automation systems.

Quantifiable outcome

• In 90% of cases, a qualified technician is en route to the plant within 2 hours for machine-stoppage assistance.
