Industrial operations platform connecting legacy control systems to data analytics and security
GrayMatter builds data and control-system integration for manufacturing and utility operations, with a tech stack anchored in Rockwell, Siemens, and Schneider Electric PLCs alongside SCADA, HMI, and MES platforms. The company is heavily engineering-focused—24 of 33 open roles are engineering—and security (4 dedicated hires) reflects a consistent internal pain around OT/IT bridging and cybersecurity risk. Active projects span MES implementation, control-system design, and OT security architecture, signaling a shift from reactive integrations toward proactive digital transformation and threat mitigation.
GrayMatter is a privately held operations-intelligence firm founded in 1991, headquartered in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, with 201–500 employees. The company helps industrial manufacturers and utilities digitize operations by integrating legacy control systems (PLCs, SCADA, HMI) with modern data platforms and analytics tools. They work on implementation of MES and SCADA solutions, automation of reporting, control-system design, facility upgrades, and OT cybersecurity risk assessment. Their approach emphasizes co-innovation and process-first consulting rather than off-the-shelf products, positioning them as both systems integrators and strategic advisors for companies modernizing production environments.
GrayMatter integrates Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix, Siemens PLCs, Schneider Electric Modicon, and Allen-Bradley systems. They also deploy AVEVA Wonderware, FactoryTalk, Ignition, and Emerson DeltaV for SCADA and HMI visualization.
Active projects include MES and SCADA implementation, control-system design, site acceptance and FAT testing, automation of dashboards and reporting, OT/IT cybersecurity design, and OT security risk assessment. The company is also managing facility upgrades and capital improvement initiatives.
