About the Owner

  

My name is Scottie Eades, and I specialize in data migration services and SPI Smartplant Instrumentation.


My passion is providing services that support Data needs for Process Control and Instrumentation.


These days budgets are very tight and efficiency is critical, making it imperative to leverage today's technology (AI, etc).


I have 30+ years’ experience managing data for Upstream and downstream facilities for many well-known clients as well as many years field experience.


In the case of budgets not allowing the Smart Plant products, I can also offer low-cost solutions, to get data from documents (PDF, paper, etc.) into a digital platform.


In many downstream facilities, legacy systems, fragmented databases, and aging documentation create challenges during upgrades, system consolidations, compliance initiatives, or digital transformation efforts. Whether transitioning between DCS platforms, consolidating instrument indexes, modernizing maintenance databases, or preparing for system migrations. 


**Accurate and structured data transfer is essential to avoid costly downtime and operational risk.


I focus specifically on:

* Migration of process control and instrumentation data between legacy and modern platforms

* Cleansing, validation, and restructuring of instrument and loop data

* Database normalization and documentation alignment

* Support for DCS/PLC upgrades and system consolidations

* Practical, cost-conscious solutions tailored to small and mid-sized capital projects.


My approach is hands-on, detail-driven, and designed to integrate with existing plant engineering and IT teams without adding unnecessary overhead. For facilities operating with limited project budgets, I provide scalable support—targeted where it delivers the greatest operational and compliance value.


I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your current challenges or upcoming projects and explore how I can contribute to a smooth, low-risk data transition.



Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working with you!

About Us

What we do

Data Migration (Integration) Services –  

Consolidation of data from several sources into one database is a necessary step in gaining control of a facility's instrument and control data. SAP, Excel, MS Access or custom databases and apps, PIDs, Loop Diagrams are common sources for instrument data. 

The data is reviewed and normalized for misspellings, duplicated values, and obvious mistakes and mapped to the correct SPI fields. 

**Data integrity and accuracy is of the highest priority. After a review by the client, the data is transferred to the SPI database, by a combination of Imports, SQL code and manual entry.  



SI (Smart Instrumentation) (SPI, Intools) Setup and Installation –  

Requires MS Sequel or Oracle platform. There are version specific instructions supplied from Hexagon that should be followed for a successful installation.  


Troubleshooting…  Database integrity - 

Database configuration issues, as well as data integrity can affect database speed and performance. 

Older versions of SPI have a database check utility that generates corrective code. The resulting code should never be executed with out the assistance of and review by a qualified SPI admin. 

There are also data integrity checks that are not part of the checkdb utility that should be used on a regular basis. 

3rd party utilities are available, as well as custom SQL statements.  


Governance / Standards - 

It is imperative to have a set of standards that define the rules for entering data in SPI. 

This should be given to all users of SPI and compliance should be checked on a regular basis. 

A database seed (template) file should be developed to include all standards as the basis for new databases. 



Training - 

Formal or flexible, In person, or Virtual training is highly recommended to ensure SPI implementation is successful. 

In addition to SI user training, we also offer SI Admin training,  as well as SQL training.
