C3-ilex, LLC is a privately held corporation that began operations in 1982 under the name of ILEX Systems, Inc. ILEX Systems continued to prosper and grow when it was acquired in 1997 by L3 Communications, Inc., a multi-billion dollar company. In January 1999, C3-ilex, LLC was formed through a leveraged buy out of the former ILEX Systems SCADA and Consulting Services Divisions. The “C3” portion of the
new company name was selected to coincide with our focused business areas of Control Products,
Consulting Services, and Custom Projects.
Control Products - SCADA Systems
C3-ilex was the first manufacturer of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to introduce a PC based solution to the Utility Industry. Since 1983, C3-ilex SCADA products have been delivered to Electric, Water and Waste Water Utilities with hundreds of SCADA Systems and thousands of Remote Terminal Units installed worldwide.
Since pioneering the PC based SCADA system, C3-ilex has been a leader in the small to mid-sized Utility market. Each year the SCADA Systems Division invests heavily in research and development to maintain its reputation for providing leading edge technology and innovative products to the rapidly changing Utility industry.
Consulting Services
C3-ilex’s Consulting Services division has been providing technical services in software, firmware, hardware and systems design for real-time monitoring and control systems since the mid 1980’s. We have been continuously involved in the development of plant monitoring systems for the General Electric fleet of Boiling Water Reactors and PWR's. This experience has translated into a current focus on real-time systems and applications for the Nuclear Power Industry.
Custom Projects
With over 20 years of nuclear plant process monitoring system experience, C3-ilex recognizes the unique issues faced by Utilities with their existing systems. C3-ilex is an experienced team providing customized products and services to address these issues with an overriding goal of reducing O&M costs and improving plant performance.

The company has been consistently successful at attracting software and hardware professionals of the highest caliber and skill level. Moreover, the C3-ilex leadership team reflects a diverse mix of seasoned professionals with decades of experience in managing the complex challenges of technology driven companies.
