What is SCADA?

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition gives your business the tools to monitor and maintain your network from any location and at any time. It is used by companies around the world to monitor, gather and process data, and to control automated processes.

As time goes on and technologies evolve the lines get blurred. What would traditionally have been accomplished by a stand-alone HMI (Human Machine Interface) can now be achieved in a more time-efficient way and with better utilization and data analytics with SCADAS making operations more simple, efficient and productive.

SCADA systems provide many advantages over traditional HMIs including increased reliability, reduced running and staffing costs, improved worker safety and greater utilization capabilities. Alarms and real-time operational viewing can identify and provide a facility to correct small problems before worsening and can also speed up restoration times, without having regular staff on site or requiring callouts.

This has the potential to reduce machine down-time and provide greater control and peace of mind over systems, even when not on site.
