Could you build this?

No A process-plant suite with historian, alarms, OPC UA/PLC integration, and IEC 62443 security posture requires OT engineering and industrial-grade reliability that a solo vibe-coded build cannot reach.

What it would actually take: Architecture would be a time-series historian (a columnar or TSDB backend), OPC UA/Modbus/PI connectors, an alarm and event engine with ISA-18.2-style semantics, and a secure, air-gap-capable deployment. The hard parts are plant-grade data reliability, industrial protocol expertise, and cybersecurity certification, which need experienced process-automation engineers.
