Description
IBA (Ion Beam Applications) designs particle accelerator systems for proton therapy, radio-pharmacy, and industrial applications. Our machines embed large-scale distributed control systems with stringent requirements on safety, cybersecurity, auditability, availability, maintainability, and role-based access control.
Increasing concerns around vendor dependency, total cost of ownership, and long-term sustainability have led us to initiate a structured, weighted evaluation of alternative SCADA architectures. EPICS emerged as a strong candidate for its open-source model, OPC-UA/pvAccess PLC integration, and ecosystem maturity. A central open question remains the HMI layer: desktop-based Phoebus versus emerging web-based frameworks.
We attend this meeting to exchange with sites that have deployed EPICS in regulated, industrial contexts — and to open a dialogue toward potential community contribution.
