If you have been searching for GE Vernova in Singapore, GE Vernova in Vietnam, or for any of the Proficy products in 2026, this article is for you. As of 17 March 2026, the GE Vernova Proficy industrial software business has been combined with PTC’s former Kepware and ThingWorx businesses under a new independent company called Velotic™. Velotic is a TPG-backed company headquartered in the Boston area, with more than US$300 million in annual revenue, run by CEO Brian Shepherd and Executive Chairman James Heppelmann (the former PTC chairman and CEO).
For Southeast Asian buyers, the practical message is straightforward: Proficy, Kepware and ThingWorx all continue as distinct product lines within the Velotic portfolio β same product names, same SKUs, same engineering teams behind them. What changes is the parent company and the long-term roadmap, both of which point toward a tighter integration between HMI/SCADA, historian, MES, industrial connectivity (Kepware) and IIoT/Digital Twin (ThingWorx) than was possible when those products belonged to two competing software publishers.
Allied Solutions Global is an authorised distributor for the Proficy product family across Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia, and we already distribute Kepware in the same region β so for our customers, this consolidation is good news. Below, we walk through the full Proficy family as it stands today, what we have heard from GE Vernova / Velotic about the transition, and what Singapore and Vietnam buyers should ask before they place their next purchase order.
The headline: GE Vernova sold Proficy to TPG; Velotic is the new home
The transaction was announced in late 2025, finalised in early 2026, and the new brand Velotic publicly launched on 17 March 2026 (per the official press release on BusinessWire). The official wording from TPG and Velotic is that the company combines “GE Vernova’s former Proficy business and PTC’s former Kepware and ThingWorx businesses” into a single independent industrial-software vendor based in the Boston area.
This matters for three reasons:
- Continuity is explicit. Velotic’s own statement is that “Proficy, Kepware, and ThingWorx will remain as distinct product lines within the broader Velotic portfolio, now operating under one mission and platform.” Translation: your existing licences, support contracts, and product version paths do not disappear. The brand on the invoice is the main thing changing in the short term.
- Roadmap is now unified. Before March 2026, if you wanted GE Proficy HMI/SCADA, Kepware connectivity, and PTC ThingWorx Digital Twin, you were buying from two different software vendors with different partner programmes, support escalation paths, and release calendars. Under Velotic, those three product lines have one roadmap owner. That is a real engineering benefit for plants that run all three.
- Distributor support is regional, not centralised. Whether you call the product “GE Vernova Proficy” (legacy) or “Velotic Proficy” (current), the distributor model in Southeast Asia continues. Allied Solutions Global handles licensing, deployment, integration and support across Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam β that engagement does not change with the parent-company transaction.
You will see the transition reflected on gevernova.com itself: the Proficy product pages still live there, with a transitional banner pointing visitors to the new Velotic identity. Over the next several quarters we expect Velotic’s own web presence to absorb that content fully.
The Proficy product family β what we distribute in Singapore and Vietnam
The Proficy portfolio that GE Vernova (now Velotic) markets to industrial customers covers seven distinct product lines. Allied Solutions Global is an authorised distributor for this portfolio across Southeast Asia. Here is what each product does, with verified facts from GE Vernova’s own published documentation.
Proficy HMI/SCADA: iFIX and CIMPLICITY
The Proficy HMI/SCADA family has two flagship platforms:
Proficy iFIX is described by GE Vernova as “industrial-strength SCADA automation software and high-performance HMI.” It is the answer when an operator needs clear, intuitive visualisation, intelligent alarming, and supervisory control on plants where a graphical engine with model-based navigation matters. iFIX ships with zero-deployment clients, centralised management, native responsive web visualisation, role-based security, multiple client deployment models, and REST API / SQL integration. The product is widely deployed in water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, consumer packaged goods, food & beverage, pipelines, and power transmission and distribution β which maps closely to the manufacturing and utilities mix we see across Singapore and Vietnam plants. A 2025 customer quote in GE Vernova’s published marketing β from Lars Peter Larson, System Specialist at Copenhagen Airport β captures the product positioning: “iFIX has done an excellent job over the years and continues to be one of the most solid and flexible SCADA platforms on the market.”
Proficy CIMPLICITY is the second SCADA platform in the Proficy portfolio and sits at the high end. GE Vernova positions CIMPLICITY as “a robust, scalable HMI/SCADA platform built for high-performance enterprise environments.” The track record they cite is “Over 30 years of development and proven in deployments of all sizes β including systems with more than 1.5 million I/O points.” Feature highlights include secure-by-design data collection, native and HTML5 visualisation, advanced alarming and notifications, Python / .NET / VB scripting plus REST APIs, historisation to SQL and Proficy Historian, high-availability redundancy, and a Digital Graphic Replay capability for incident analysis. CIMPLICITY is widely used in automotive, power generation, transportation, utilities and large industrial manufacturing.
If you are evaluating which to pick: iFIX is generally the better starting point for compact-to-mid plants and water/F&B/CPG operations; CIMPLICITY is the right answer when your I/O count is in the hundreds of thousands or above and you need enterprise-grade redundancy and scripting depth. Both are covered in detail on our Proficy HMI/SCADA product page.
Proficy Historian
Proficy Historian is GE Vernova’s industrial-grade time-series and alarm-and-event (A&E) data historian. The product positioning, verbatim from GE Vernova’s own documentation, is: “best-in-class historian software that collects industrial operations time-series and A&E data at very high speed, stores it efficiently and securely in the cloud or on-prem, distributes it, and allows for fast retrieval and analysis.”
The technical claims that matter for capacity planning in Singapore and Vietnam plants are concrete and worth quoting:
- Compression efficiency: “With just 1% compression enabled, Historian is approximately 2x more efficient than a leading competitor and 30x more efficient than relational databases.” Translation: if your team is currently writing historian-like data into MS SQL or Postgres, Proficy Historian will store the same data in roughly 1/30th the disk footprint.
- Cloud ingest rate: 150,000 values per second per interface on the cloud version, with a documented “1 billion sample/minute ingestion rate on AWS” benchmark.
- Store-and-forward: the cloud version protects against data loss if the cloud or network is unavailable β important for plants in regional locations where connectivity is not guaranteed.
- Deployment options: on-premises, “Proficy Historian for Cloud” SaaS, or deployable in your own AWS / Azure / GCP virtual private cloud (VPC).
- Excel Add-In: lets engineers interact with Historian configuration data from Excel β useful when reporting workflows are spreadsheet-driven, which is most plants we work with.
- Zero-downtime upgrades are documented as a supported pattern.
For Singapore data centres pushing terabytes of plant telemetry into a cloud lake, and for Vietnam manufacturing sites that want to keep their historian on-prem in the plant while replicating a slice to corporate, Proficy Historian is the workhorse. See the Proficy Historian product page for licensing and sizing.
Proficy Plant Applications β the MES layer
Proficy Plant Applications is the manufacturing execution system (MES) inside the Proficy portfolio. It sits between the SCADA layer (iFIX / CIMPLICITY) and the ERP layer, and turns plant-floor data into production orders, OEE calculations, quality records, and electronic work instructions. Plant Applications is widely used in regulated process and discrete environments β pharmaceutical, food & beverage, automotive β where electronic batch records and audit trails are not optional. For Singapore biopharma customers and Vietnam F&B / automotive customers, Plant Applications is often the right pick when SAP ME or Siemens Opcenter are too heavy and a standalone OEE tool is too light. Full details on the Proficy Plant Applications product page.
Proficy Operations Hub
Proficy Operations Hub is the centralised web-based visualisation and configuration layer that ties the Proficy stack together. Where iFIX and CIMPLICITY give operators screens at the plant level, Operations Hub gives plant managers, maintenance teams and corporate engineers a unified web view spanning multiple sites, multiple SCADAs, multiple historians. For multi-site customers β a Vietnam manufacturer with three production sites, a Singapore utility with distributed substations β Operations Hub is the answer to “I want one URL to see everything.” Full description on the Proficy Operations Hub product page.
Proficy CSense β analytics and process optimisation
Proficy CSense is the AI / machine-learning analytics tool of the Proficy family. GE Vernova describes it as offering five integrated capabilities for optimisation across modelling, monitoring, prediction and process improvement. The use case in plain language: when you have years of historian data and want to identify the operating conditions that produce the best yield, lowest energy cost, or fewest quality events, CSense is the tool that builds and serves the model. See the Proficy CSense product page.
Proficy Scheduler (and ROB-EX)
Proficy Scheduler β also offered as Proficy ROB-EX β is the production-scheduling tool in the family. It generates and dynamically adapts manufacturing schedules in real time as conditions change on the plant floor. For Vietnam contract manufacturers with frequent changeovers and Singapore precision-engineering shops with mixed-mode production, Scheduler is the product that turns a static MRP run into a living, day-by-day schedule. Full detail on the Proficy Scheduler product page.
Bonus: Kepware and ThingWorx are also now Velotic
This is the part that genuinely changes the value of the deal for Southeast Asian plants. Under the Velotic umbrella, the three product families align as follows:
- From GE Vernova: Proficy HMI/SCADA, Historian, Plant Applications, Operations Hub, CSense, Scheduler β the OT visualisation + data + MES stack.
- From PTC: Kepware (KEPServerEX and Kepware+) β the industrial connectivity layer that speaks every PLC protocol your plant is likely to have (Allen-Bradley, Siemens S7, Modbus, OPC UA, Mitsubishi, Omron, and 150+ more).
- From PTC: ThingWorx β the IIoT and digital-twin platform.
Before this consolidation, if you wanted Kepware connectivity into Proficy Historian, that was technically supported but was a cross-vendor integration. Going forward, both products have the same owner. We expect tighter native integration and joint roadmap discipline. For our Kepware customers in Singapore and Vietnam β covered on our Kepware product category page β this is unambiguously good news.
What stays the same for Singapore and Vietnam customers
Based on the official continuity statement and our reading of the transition so far, here is what we are telling our customers:
- Your existing Proficy licences remain valid. No re-purchase, no forced migration.
- Existing support contracts continue. The brand on the renewal will transition over time, but the technical entitlement does not change.
- Product names do not change in the short term. You will still see “Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 2026,” “Proficy Historian 2026,” and so on through the 2026 release calendar.
- Distributor relationships continue. Allied Solutions Global remains your authorised partner for the Proficy product family across Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia β and now also for the Kepware and ThingWorx product lines on the same support model.
- Release calendar is on track. Per GE Vernova’s published 2026 release schedule, Proficy Scheduler 2026 was due 26 March, Proficy SCADA Ultimate 30 April, Proficy Smart Factory MES 2026 on 28 May, Proficy Operations Hub 2026 on 25 June, Proficy Historian 2026 on 30 July, Proficy Data Hub on 27 August, Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 2026 on 24 September, and Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY 2026 on 22 October. The Velotic acquisition has not changed this calendar so far.
What is likely to change over the next 12–18 months
Honestly: nothing dramatic in the short term, but a few things to watch:
- Branding on collateral. Data sheets, training materials, and the support portal will gradually move from “GE Vernova Proficy” to “Velotic Proficy” wording. Plan to update your own internal documentation to reflect the brand transition over a year or two.
- Integration between Proficy, Kepware and ThingWorx. We expect Velotic to invest in tighter native bridges β for example, single-pane provisioning of Kepware connectivity into Proficy Historian, or out-of-the-box ThingWorx digital-twin templates that read from Proficy data.
- Licensing models. Independent industrial-software companies (which Velotic now is) often standardise on subscription pricing over perpetual licences. We have no announcement from Velotic on this yet, but it is the industry direction. If you are renewing a large perpetual contract in 2026, ask your account manager about subscription options up front.
- Support escalation paths. If you currently have a Proficy support case open with GE Vernova, expect the case ID and engineer to continue, but the email signature on responses will change.
Why this matters specifically for Singapore and Vietnam buyers
Three reasons:
1. Vendor consolidation is generally good for plant operators. Fewer vendors to manage, fewer integration headaches, fewer contracts to renew. The Proficy + Kepware + ThingWorx combination under Velotic removes one of the historic friction points in deploying a connected plant in Singapore or Vietnam: integrating a PTC connectivity layer with a GE visualisation and historian stack.
2. Distributor support is more important during a transition than usual. When a global vendor reorganises, the customers who suffer most are the ones who only have a remote relationship with the vendor’s regional sales office. Customers who buy through an in-region distributor β Allied Solutions Global, in this case β are insulated from the transition noise. We handle the back-end paperwork, the renewal mechanics, and the technical escalation so you do not have to.
3. Singapore biopharma, Vietnam manufacturing, and SEA utilities have specific compliance angles. Plants subject to Singapore’s Cybersecurity Code of Practice for Critical Information Infrastructure (CCoP 2.0), Vietnam’s Cybersecurity Law (currently Law No. 24/2018/QH14, scheduled to be replaced on 1 July 2026 by the new Law on Cybersecurity 2025, passed by the National Assembly on 10 December 2025), and PIC/S GMP for pharma all need to map their SCADA, historian and MES vendor’s compliance posture to local regulatory requirements. We help customers translate Velotic’s published compliance and certification statements into the local audit context β that work is most of what our Quick Start Program for Proficy delivers.
How Allied Solutions Global delivers it
We are an authorised distributor for the Proficy product family across Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, and we deliver the same products in three layers:
- Licensing, sizing and renewals. Our engineers help you pick the right Proficy editions and module mix for your scope, and manage renewals from our offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Ho Chi Minh City. Now that Kepware sits under the same Velotic umbrella, we can quote a unified package when that fits your plant.
- Deployment and integration. Our team scopes, deploys and commissions Proficy on site, including integration with your existing PLCs, SCADA, historians, MES and IT systems. Most projects run as a Quick Start Program with a defined scope, timeline, and acceptance criteria β the same delivery model that Velotic and GE Vernova have used globally for years.
- Training and ongoing support. We run regular Training Week sessions for Proficy, plus tailored on-site training for your engineers and operators. After go-live, our SEA-based support team handles upgrades, troubleshooting and version migration β in your business hours, not on a global ticket queue.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Are my GE Vernova Proficy licences still valid after the Velotic transition?
A: Yes. The TPG acquisition does not invalidate existing licences or support contracts. The official Velotic continuity statement is that Proficy, Kepware and ThingWorx continue as distinct product lines within Velotic.
Q: Do I need to migrate to a “Velotic” version of Proficy?
A: No. The product names and version numbers continue under the Proficy brand β for example, Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 2026 is the version due in late September 2026, and that is the same product family you are running today.
Q: Will Allied Solutions Global continue to support our Proficy deployment in Singapore / Vietnam / Malaysia?
A: Yes. Our authorised distributor relationship continues under the Velotic umbrella, on the same terms.
Q: I am a current Kepware customer. What changes for me?
A: In the short term, almost nothing β KEPServerEX and Kepware+ continue as PTC-developed (now Velotic-developed) products under the same brand. The medium-term opportunity is tighter native integration with Proficy Historian and ThingWorx digital twin, since all three are now under one roof.
Q: I am evaluating Proficy versus AVEVA System Platform, Siemens WinCC, or Rockwell FactoryTalk. How does the Velotic move affect that decision?
A: Honestly, it should make Proficy more attractive, not less. Velotic is now a $300M+ independent industrial software company focused entirely on this market, rather than one product line inside a much larger industrial conglomerate. Independent companies tend to invest faster in their core product roadmap than business units inside conglomerates. AVEVA, Siemens and Rockwell remain credible alternatives β talk to us for an honest comparison based on your scope.
Q: Where should I read the official Velotic announcement?
A: The press release was distributed via BusinessWire on 16 March 2026, with the official launch dated 17 March 2026. TPG has also published the announcement on its own news page. Brian Shepherd is CEO; James Heppelmann (former PTC chairman) is Executive Chairman.
