SICAM application – SIAPP

Why SICAM SIAPP?

SIAPPs are 3rd-party applications that can be installed on the SICAM 8 platform, allowing for the quick and easy creation of up to three custom applications. The creation of an application is done through the SIAPP Software Development Kit (SDK) – based on Docker. By using SIAPP, you can leverage the power of SICAM 8 without needing your own hardware, while simultaneously having full access to all RTU data.

SICAM SIAPPs enables the following benefits:
Robust hardware
Tested communication protocols
Extensive RTU functionality
Develop your own apps
State-of-the-art cybersecurity

Key benefits

Lower hardware costs and reduced downtime

Consolidating multiple applications on a single reliable, high‑performance CPU, system complexity is reduced. Container‑based deployment further enables fast and simple service updates, minimizing maintenance effort and downtime.

Create fully customized tailored solutions

SIAPP allows you to develop custom applications with a free SDK and deploy them easily via containers. Using the SICAM 8 platform, you can add and evolve your own functions independently of the product lifecycle.

Increase availability

SIAPP boosts system availability and resilience via distributed client services and autonomous edge execution, ensuring reliable operation even during interruptions.

Features & functions

Develop and run custom applications

SICAM SIAPP lets customers or partner containerized apps run directly on the SICAM 8 platform. Built with the SIAPP SDK using Docker/Podman, apps add custom functions without modifying core RTU software.

Direct access to RTU data and services

SICAM SIAPP provides direct access to RTU process data and services via defined interfaces, enabling custom applications to monitor, analyze, and optimize operations without additional hardware or physical interfaces.

Extend SICAM functionality without extra hardware

SICAM SIAPP extends SICAM 8 by running additional applications directly on existing devices. This removes the need for external PCs or gateways, reduces hardware costs, and enables scalable system extensions on one platform.
