Introduction

Where Decades of Automation Expertise Meet Today's Energy Challenges

Purpose-Built for the Complexity of the Modern Grid

The electric grid is one of the most complex, dynamic systems ever engineered — and the automation technology that manages it needs to be equally sophisticated. For decades, DAQ has been at the forefront of distributed SCADA technology, delivering intelligent, high-performance solutions that give utility operators the precision control and real-time awareness they need to manage power distribution efficiently, safely, and without interruption. The Callisto™ platform is the culmination of that experience — a fully modular, open-architecture SCADA solution that adapts effortlessly to the unique requirements of any substation or distribution line environment.

From Legacy Infrastructure to Future-Ready Automation

Whether you're building a new automation system from the ground up, expanding existing infrastructure, or retrofitting legacy RTU equipment with state-of-the-art technology, Callisto delivers a cost-effective, future-ready solution that eliminates unnecessary complexity and maximizes performance at every level. With high-speed processing achieving one millisecond resolution, an extensive license-free protocol library, and seamless integration of third-party IEDs and devices, the Callisto platform puts you in complete command of your energy infrastructure — today and far into the future.
