What ADVANTIS does

ADVANTIS is a private Spanish industrial software and automation integrator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona metropolitan area. The company, which operates under the trade name "ADVANTIS | Industrial Software Factory," provides professional services across the full project lifecycle — from initial consulting and needs analysis through custom industrial software development, communications infrastructure, and post-sale maintenance — for industrial automation projects.

Its core technical offering centers on PLC-based control applications, SCADA supervision and HMI systems, operational reporting, and integration with enterprise systems including ERP, GMAO (CMMS), and databases. The communications practice spans field buses, TETRA, GPRS/3G/4G, WIMAX, fiber optic, and VPN networks, enabling centralized telecontrol of distributed installations. Electrical engineering (basic and detailed cabinet design) is delivered alongside software work, supported by a multidisciplinary team described as combining consulting, software engineering, and electrical engineering capabilities.

ADVANTIS generates revenue through three streams: professional services (consulting, design, project direction), one-time software and integration projects (including FAT/SAT testing and commissioning), and managed maintenance and support contracts. It sells exclusively through direct enterprise and government engagement, with a stated client roster spanning water treatment (Acuaes, Cadagua, Depur-nord, Passavant, OMS-Sacede, Sorigue, Curvaser), infrastructure (Aena, Acciona, DAM, Aqualogy, Rubatec, Desico), industrial (FMC), and consumer goods (P&G). The firm's stated strategic ambition is to become a leading automation provider in the water treatment and infrastructure management sectors within Spain, supported by a multi-vendor technology partnership stack of 17 industrial automation and instrumentation suppliers.
