Can ConnectorHub Connect SCADA Systems to Your Analytics Platform for Real-Time Equipment Performance Dashboards?
Yes—ConnectorHub can seamlessly connect SCADA systems to analytics platforms, enabling real-time equipment performance dashboards, predictive insights, and automated decision-making.
But more importantly, it bridges a long-standing gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT)—a challenge that traditional integration platforms and iPaaS solutions struggle to solve efficiently.
The Core Challenge: SCADA Data Is Not Analytics-Ready
SCADA systems are foundational in industries like:
Oil & gas
Manufacturing
Utilities
Facilities management
They excel at:
Monitoring industrial assets
Collecting real-time telemetry
Controlling field operations
However, they were not designed for:
Cloud-native analytics
AI-driven insights
Cross-platform integration
Key Limitations:
Proprietary protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus)
On-premise data silos
Limited API accessibility
High-frequency streaming complexity
This is why organizations often struggle to build real-time SCADA dashboards despite having vast amounts of data.
