The History of TEL-STER

The History of TEL-STER

The history of TEL-STER is inseparably linked with the development of the TelWin SCADA industrial process visualization system and the evolution of global informatics. Below we present the key stages of our development, keeping in mind that alongside our flagship SCADA system, we have created a range of specialized solutions, including for the gas sector.

The Era of DOS Systems and the Birth of Telas

Artur Sobkowiak, in cooperation with the Wielkopolski District Gas Works (WOZG), develops the Telas system.

Just as IT giants started with DOS, our foundation was Telas – a system dedicated to the WOZG dispatch center. It evolved alongside growing needs, supporting an ever-wider range of industrial devices.
