What We Do
End-to-end industrial automation & intelligence
From the PLC wiring on the plant floor to the CloudFront URL on your dashboard — we design every layer.
Protocol Integration
Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet/IP, RS-232 serial, CAN, 4-20mA — we connect equipment that doesn't want to be connected. Multi-vendor, multi-protocol orchestration with bench-level diagnostic capability.
Cloud IoT Platforms
Serverless architectures on AWS — IoT Core, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront — with KMS encryption, Cognito auth, and infrastructure-as-code. Production telemetry pipelines, not prototypes.
Applied AI & Operational Intelligence
Anomaly detection, trend analysis, health scoring, and rules-engine alerting built on real operational data. AI that explains itself — baselines, rolling windows, and breach signatures, not black boxes.
Dashboards & Data Pipelines
Real-time operational dashboards, fleet monitoring views, alert feeds, and historical analytics. ThingsBoard, custom React frontends, and BI integrations — data surfaced where decisions get made.
Edge & Remote Operations
Raspberry Pi edge gateways, ZeroTier/Tailscale remote access, Node-RED middleware. Systems designed to run reliably at remote sites — hundreds of kilometres from the nearest technician.
How We Work
From problem to production system
Every engagement follows the same discipline — whether it's a single PLC replacement or a multi-site IoT deployment.
01
Assess
Understand the physical process, existing equipment, pain points, and the outcome you need. No scope creep starts here.
02
Architect
Design the control logic, data flow, cloud infrastructure, and integration points. Every decision documented before code is written.
03
Build & Commission
Desk-test the logic, deploy the infrastructure, commission on-site. Interlock-by-interlock verification against the design spec.
04
Operate & Evolve
Remote monitoring, performance analysis, and system evolution. The data your system generates informs what to improve next.
Industries
Domain depth across four verticals
We don't just know the technology — we understand the physical processes, the operational constraints, and the business outcomes that matter in each sector.
Aquaculture & Marine Science
Breeding management platforms, hatchery HMI systems with barcode/scale integration, genomic data pipelines, environmental monitoring. Production-grade systems for research and commercial operations.
Material Handling & Logistics
Monorail conveyor systems, vertical carriage control, discharge sequencing, washer integration. State machine logic with safety interlocks for hospital laundry, industrial sorting, and bag transport.
Fluid Monitoring & Filtration
ISO 4406 particle counting, multi-channel fuel quality sensor networks, differential pressure monitoring, filter breach detection. Six years of live production experience in fluid quality anomaly intelligence.
Process & Industrial Automation
PLC-to-cloud integration for manufacturing and process control. Legacy system migration, multi-protocol equipment orchestration, and AI-augmented business process automation.

Background
Built on a decade of live industrial data
Vidderup grew out of Trendfuel — an advanced IoT platform for monitoring stored diesel fuel that we built and operated for over a decade. That work included deep integration with custom HMI, PLC, and BMS systems, all architected on AWS, managing real-time telemetry from multi-channel fuel quality sensor networks deployed at remote mining and industrial sites.
That experience — connecting physical sensors to cloud infrastructure and extracting operational intelligence from the resulting data — is the foundation everything at Vidderup is built on. We've since extended the same approach into aquaculture, material handling, process automation, and AI-augmented business workflows.
We work across Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada, and internationally — with systems currently operating in Canada and Australia. Based in Halifax, we bring the same rigor whether the site is across town or across the planet.
