TOPKAPI by AREAL

Monitor and Manage Your Operations with TOPKAPI SCADA

An industrial supervision platform to collect field data, display process conditions, manage alarms, and review operating history in one system.

About the product

Software from AREAL, applied to the needs of your plant

TOPKAPI is SCADA software for industrial supervision, developed and published by AREAL, a software company from France. It is widely used in drinking water and wastewater, as well as in buildings, energy, and infrastructure.

The approach is modular. Core supervision can be extended with modules such as web clients, a mobile app, alarm notification, reporting, and telemetry, so a configuration can start with today's needs and grow in stages. It communicates with field devices through standard protocols and manufacturer drivers, including OPC, and data can be shared with other systems through the available interfaces.

Key features

What operators use every day

An overview of the TOPKAPI capabilities most used in water and industrial plants.

01

Data acquisition

Collects data from PLCs, RTUs, data loggers, and other compatible sources through supported protocols.

02

Process visualisation

Shows plant conditions on graphical synoptics, so equipment status and process values are easy to read.

03

Alarm management

Helps operators recognise abnormal conditions, record how they were handled, and forward notifications as configured.

04

History and trends

Stores operating data so changes in parameters can be reviewed over time.

05

Reporting and analysis

Turns data into operating reports and indicators through the relevant modules.

06

Remote supervision

Access through a web client or mobile app, depending on the modules and the network design.

07

Commands and setpoints

Supports commands and setpoint changes according to user permissions and the system design.

Feature availability depends on the version, modules, licence, and configuration. Not every feature above is part of the base package.

What it looks like

One screen for the reservoir, pumps, and network

Operators see reservoir level, duty and standby pump status, flow, pressure, and chlorine on one synoptic, together with the alarm list and trends. Tags, setpoints, and screens are built around the process and standards of each plant.

Applications

Where TOPKAPI can be used

Typical examples. The scope of each project is set during survey and design.

01

Water treatment plants

Monitoring of process, level, flow, and equipment status from intake to reservoir.

02

Water distribution networks

Monitoring of reservoirs, pressure, flow, and pump stations spread across several sites.

03

Wastewater treatment plants

Process supervision and recording of operating parameters for monitoring and reporting.

04

Industrial utilities

Monitoring of equipment and utility parameters such as water, compressed air, and energy.

System architecture

From sensors to information for operators

Control stays in the PLC or RTU. TOPKAPI collects data, displays conditions, records history, and manages alarms.

  1. 01

    Sensors & Instruments

    Level, flow, pressure, water quality, equipment status

  2. 02

    PLC / RTU

    Local control and data communication

  3. 03

    TOPKAPI SCADA

    Acquisition, processing, and supervision

  4. 04

    Operators, History, Alarms & Reports

    Process screens, trends, notifications, reports

Connectivity, protocols, remote access, and integration with other systems are decided during design. Access from outside the operations network goes through suitable security layers and permissions, never by exposing control devices directly to the internet.

WSI support

From requirements to a system operators use

The WSI team supports TOPKAPI projects at every stage.

  1. 01

    Requirements and survey

    Review the process, installed devices, and the information operators need.

  2. 02

    Architecture and licensing

    Design the system architecture and select the right modules and licences.

  3. 03

    Integration and configuration

    Connect field devices and build synoptics, alarms, history, and reports.

  4. 04

    Commissioning and training

    Testing with operators, training, and technical support after handover.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What is TOPKAPI SCADA?

TOPKAPI is SCADA software from AREAL for collecting field data, displaying process conditions, managing alarms, and storing operating history. WSI helps with design, integration, and support during deployment.

02Can it be integrated with our existing PLCs or RTUs?

In many cases yes, since TOPKAPI supports standard protocols and drivers from many manufacturers. Compatibility still has to be checked against the brand, model, firmware version, and protocol of your devices.

03Is web or mobile access available?

Web client and mobile app options are available. Both are add-on modules, and access is designed around the network architecture and security policy of the plant.

04How are licence requirements determined?

Licensing depends on the amount of data monitored, the number of users or workstations, the modules required, and the project architecture. The WSI team helps size it once requirements and site conditions are clear.

05How do I start a consultation with WSI?

Contact us on WhatsApp or through the Get a Quote page. Tell us the type of plant, the devices in use, and the data you want to monitor so the first discussion is focused.
