The Terra7 Process · 6 Phases

How we bring 30-year-old infrastructure online.

From the first walk of the plant floor to real-time closed-loop action — every Terra7 deployment moves through the same six phases. Scroll to see how.

Phase 0 · On-Site

We start with the infrastructure you already have.

No rip-and-replace. Terra7 engineers walk the plant, substation, or pump station, map every legacy PLC, SCADA head-end, and analog gauge, and document the real workflow — not the one on the P&ID from 1994.

Phase 1 · Capture

Capture what legacy systems cannot share.

A hardened Terra7 edge node speaks Modbus, DNP3, BACnet, OPC-UA, and every proprietary serial dialect on the floor — pulling telemetry off equipment that has been mute for decades and timestamping it at the source.

Phase 2 · Unify

Connect every operational data source.

SCADA, historians, MES, work-order systems, and hand-entered logs collapse into one unified schema. Every tag, every asset, every operator action lives in one place — with lineage intact.

Phase 3 · Stream

Stream legacy equipment to the cloud.

A signed, encrypted, replayable pipeline carries clean telemetry off the plant floor and into the cloud environment of your choice — continuously, with buffering that survives network cuts.

Phase 4 · Operate

Built from shared components. Intelligence around each function.

Maintenance, diagnostics, compliance, forecasting — each is its own app, all sharing the same substrate. Add a function, retire a function, swap a model. The platform bends without breaking.

Phase 5 · Act

Turn operational data into real-time action.

Alerts route to the right crew. Work orders open themselves. Compliance reports write themselves. The loop closes — from a sensor on a 40-year-old pump to a dispatched technician — in minutes, not weeks.
