SCADA

What is SCADA?

SCADA is an acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition, a computer system for gathering and analyzing real time information.

When applied properly a SCADA system can help industries to save time and money. Quality is improved because the analysis of process data can result in preventing errors before they occur. Productivity is increased via analysis of processes used to improve plant and production efficiencies. Maintenance costs are reduced through centralized control and monitoring that minimize downtime. Safety of workers and equipment are increased through predefined processes managed by a SCADA system.
