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

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.
