Anybody that's worked with SCADA systems unfortunately wouldn't bat an eye at this. In my own experience they're horribly issue prone, we've churned through 4-5 different vendors in the last 3 years trying to get past basic stability issues.

What issues did you have?

Unfortunately, writing plc code is like writing in assembly with global access to variables. Unless you test things thoroughly it's really tough to have a system run bug free. Thankfully, most of the processes are pretty simple so its not exceedingly hard to test it.
