SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

System for monitoring, visualizing and controlling industrial equipment and distributed processes.

Examples

  1. 01The water treatment plant uses SCADA to monitor 15 pumping stations spread across 40 km from one control room.
  2. 02SCADA alarms and trends are integrated into the maintenance system, so a pump with rising vibration gets a work order automatically.
  3. 03Standard SCADA screens help operators find the source of a pressure drop in minutes instead of driving to each station.
