From Copper to Code: Why We Built the Rugged Substation Automation Virtualization Platform

One platform. Three perspectives. One day.
From vision to architecture to open dialogue - discover the Rugged Substation Automation Virtualization Platform.

#1 Vision: Join our Keynote!

Digital substations demand more than adapted IT hardware.
In this keynote, we explain why Welotec built the Rugged Substation Automation Virtualization Platform from the ground up — and what fundamentally changes when protection, automation, control, and security move into a virtualized, platform-based architecture.

You’ll hear about the challenges utilities face today, the limitations of traditional hardware models, and the design principles that shaped the Rugged Substation Automation Virtualization Platform as a purpose-built foundation for software-defined substations.

Why you shouldn’t miss it:
This session sets the context. It explains why the Rugged Substation Automation Virtualization Platform exists — and why now is the right moment to rethink substation computing.

Virtualize. Everything.
