UCL unifies mixed fleets through reusable equipment profiles. Natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, compressors, and balance of plant become one real-time operating picture for oil fields, plants, and data centers. Any OEM. Any vintage. Build once, deploy fleet-wide.
Four foundations run beneath every UCL deployment: protocol-native connectivity, a unified asset model, fault-tolerant edge compute, and hardened-by-design security. Together they power every solution we deliver.
One driver library speaks to every OEM and vintage, from legacy serial RTUs to modern smart controllers. Points are normalized into the unified namespace at the edge, never in spreadsheets.
A single ISA-95-aligned tag namespace across turbine trains, recip skids, compressor stations, and balance of plant. Query the entire fleet as if one vendor built it.
Ruggedized gateways keep local logic, permissives, and interlocks alive when WAN links die. Store-and-forward buffering means zero data loss, ever, even fully offline.
Defense-in-depth aligned to IEC 62443 zone models. Encrypted everywhere, least-privilege access, and an immutable audit trail on every configuration change and command.
UCL is fundamentally profile-based. Every engine and turbine class is captured once as a reusable digital profile, then stamped onto every unit of that class across the fleet. This is how UCL cuts development time dramatically: build it once, deploy it forever.
A profile carries everything an engine class needs to go live: its complete tag dictionary, control faceplates, start and stop sequence logic, alarm philosophy with setpoints and priorities, trend templates, report definitions, OEE state mapping for uptime and downtime tracking, and CMMS asset mappings for work-order automation.
When a new unit arrives on site, there is nothing left to program. Connect the hardware, assign the profile, and UCL auto-builds the operator screens, the alarm pipelines, the historian storage, the notification rosters, and the analytics. Every unit of the same class behaves identically, because it runs the exact same proven profile.
The UCL edge gateway discovers device points automatically over Modbus, OPC UA, J1939, DNP3, or Sparkplug B.
Select the matching engine class profile. Raw device points map to the unified namespace automatically, no manual tag building.
HMI screens, faceplates, alarm pipelines, trends, reports, historian folders, and ICETrack states generate instantly from the template.
Operator-ready in days. Identical, proven behavior across every unit of the class, with fleet-wide benchmarking enabled from day one.
The profile library grows continuously. Additional turbine classes, reciprocating engines, compressors, and waste-heat-to-power skids are on the roadmap. Reserve the next slot for your fleet's class.
The complete operational toolkit ships standard. No module shopping, no per-feature upsells, no surprises.
Live values, start and stop sequences, synch initiation, breaker control, resets, and setpoint changes. Signed commands, role-scoped, interlock-aware.
Fleet-wide alarm rationalization on ISA-18.2 pipelines. Shelving, suppression, flood suppression, first-out capture, and acknowledgment workflows in one console.
Every alarm transition and operator event logged with millisecond timestamps. Journal export, forensic review, and compliance-ready records.
Who changed what, when, and from where. Immutable audit records cover every configuration change, command, acknowledgment, and override.
High-speed store-and-forward historian with lossless compression. Decades of retention, millisecond queries, SQL access to all your history.
Drag any point onto a chart for instant live and historical trends. Overlay units, compare across sites, export, and annotate without leaving the screen.
Scheduled and on-demand PDF and Excel reports. Daily operations summaries, downtime pareto, availability, fuel, and compliance packets.
Escalation rosters, on-call schedules, and acknowledgment tracking. Alerts reach people, wherever they are, not just dashboards nobody is watching.
Zero-install clients in any browser, tablet, or phone. One project deploys simultaneously to the control room, the field, and management.
Hot-standby server pairing with continuous state sync, edge store-and-forward, and automatic recovery. No single point of failure anywhere.
A full scripting engine plus REST and SQL access to every tag, alarm, and history record. Extend anything, integrate everything, no black boxes.
No per-tag, per-screen, or per-user metering within a deployment. Scale the fleet, not the invoice. Your economics stay predictable as you grow.
From a single skid to a multi-state fleet, UCL scales by changing topology, not products. Start small, grow anywhere.
The fastest path to unified visibility. One UCL server hosts the HMI, historian, alarming engine, notification system, and protocol drivers for a single site or power island.
Two UCL servers run in a hot-standby configuration. State synchronizes continuously between them; failover is automatic and transparent to operators, alarms, and running scripts.
A central UCL hub aggregates many remote sites into one corporate operating picture. Each spoke runs its own edge gateway with local control logic, local alarming, and store-and-forward buffering.
Every site runs a full UCL edge node, and nodes peer directly with each other over MQTT. There is no central chokepoint to fail; the fleet itself becomes the network, sharing one namespace.
Mission-critical control stays deterministic and on-premises, while analytics, dashboards, historians, and enterprise users burst to the cloud over a secure, encrypted bridge.
Representative screens modeled on live UCL deployments, with asset identifiers masked. Every value below is simulated locally for illustration.
Pick a range, press calculate, and ICETrack turns raw unit states into OEE reality: uptime, runtime, downtime, no-heat hours, downtime cost, and a forensic event log. States derive automatically from each equipment profile, so every unit reports identically. Example view below uses reference data.

UCL does not replace your business systems. It feeds them, in real time, with full asset context attached to every event.
Alarms become action. UCL pushes faults straight into Upkeep as work orders, with the asset, severity, trend snapshot, and recommended action attached. Technicians arrive informed, and closure status flows back into UCL dashboards.
ICETrack computes availability, downtime reasons, and performance loss per unit, per site, and per shift, using state detection logic generated straight from each equipment profile. Try the interactive example in section 06.
See the fleet the way the field actually looks. UCL layers assets onto GIS maps alongside pipeline networks, right-of-way data, and line pressure context, so rotating-equipment health is always judged against what it is moving.
Native connectors plus open interfaces mean UCL slots into your existing stack instead of replacing it. Production accounting, emissions reporting, DCIM, BMS, data lakes, and BI tools all consume UCL data on your terms.
Control systems are critical infrastructure. UCL was architected with defense-in-depth from day one, and every deployment pattern ships with a hardened baseline.
Zone & conduit architectureSegmented by design, with SL-2 aligned hardening guides provided for every deployment pattern we ship.
Encrypted everywhereAll north-south and east-west traffic encrypted, including edge links over cellular and satellite backhaul.
Least privilege by defaultSAML and OIDC integration, scoped roles, and two-step authorization for every control action.
Forensic-grade event historyEvery read, write, and command immutably logged with who, what, when, and from where.
Deploys where cloud cannotFull functionality in disconnected or restricted environments, with managed synchronization windows.
UCL is developed, deployed, and operated by ICE Thermal Harvesting, an officially certified integrator of both platforms:
Awarded to ICE Thermal Harvesting by Inductive Automation, recognizing proven, production-grade deployment expertise across demanding industrial environments.
Certified by Cirrus Link Solutions. MQTT and Sparkplug B done right, from the edge gateway to the enterprise layer.
The same platform and the same reusable profiles serve every market where gas-fired rotating equipment earns its keep. New markets come online as new profiles do.
Compression, artificial lift, EFRDs, and field generation coordinated pad by pad and basin by basin, with remote operation replacing routine truck rolls.
Peakers, cogen units, and waste-heat-to-power dispatched as one economic portfolio, islanding-ready with market-grade telemetry paths.
Standby and prime fleets verified like production assets. Readiness becomes a number you can defend to the board, backed by timestamped evidence.
Compressor stations and gas processing tied to line conditions in real time, so machine health is always judged against throughput demand.
Low-BTU engines monetizing waste streams, with specialized fuel-gas handling captured in dedicated equipment profiles.
Combined heat and power for campuses, greenhouses, hospitals, and process loads, dispatching thermal and electrical output together.
Isolated operations where the genset fleet is the grid. When downtime stops production, readiness and fast fault response pay for themselves.
Industrial facilities stacking market revenue on top of avoided demand charges, with verified telemetry for program settlement.
ICE Thermal Harvesting's heritage business: turning exhaust, flare, and process heat streams into revenue-grade power, monitored end to end.
Eleven HMIs became one screen. Operators found faults faster in week one than in the prior quarter, and the audit trail made our compliance review the easiest we have ever had.
