SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is used by manufacturers across numerous industries and applications to remotely monitor and automate the control of industrial processes and machines.
SCADA systems accomplish these functions by integrating with networks, PLCs, RTUs, sensors, and machines to collect, analyze, translate, and display real-time data.
SCADA systems are comprised of numerous hardware and software components working together to collect, translate, and display data.
SCADA systems may use wired or wireless communication technologies, as well as different communication protocols to transmit data between machines and operators.
