Engineering with field experience

Control Systems Built
on Field Experience.

GDS started as Motorola's SCADA service center, repairing the RTUs and radios that utilities and airfields depend on. That repair work still shapes how we engineer: we plan the controller, the radio path and the operator screens as one system, and we support what we install.

From our office in Mesa, Arizona, we have delivered more than 500 SCADA projects, from twelve well and tank sites in Nixa, Missouri, to encrypted arresting-gear controls on both runways at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
