SCADA Systems and Their Benefits
Many of us have been using several systems including SCADA system, but not all of us fully aware of what these systems are all about. In this post, we have picked the topic of SCADA systems and try and know everything about it. Let us start by knowing, what actually it is.
What is a SCADA software system?
According to the experts of integration control systems, this term, "SCADA" stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
This is basically a system or the software that can be used for device monitoring and controlling framework.
There is a supervisory control that is given this schedule of taking action and control through remote locations for various control mechanisms and processes.
Using this system and others like PLC programming, several kinds of data can be collected from the network of devices that can be connected to wireless or even wired communication systems.
The front-end of a SCADA software solution is a Graphical User Interface (GUI/UI).
In short, it can be said that SCADA system could be very effective in real-time monitoring, supervision and controlling system from remote and/or local physical location.
According to the sellers of instrumentation systems, usage of this system can help the user enjoy several benefits out of which, some are discussed here.
It reduces time consumption
It also reduces human resource consumption
It also increases product/project revenue
It can generate greater accessibility (remotely)
User will experience more security (implementation of user access levels)
There will be more organized data records and report generation automatically
It will ensure system availability (implementation of system redundancy)
There is a super easy user interfaces for interaction (graphical HMI interface with animation for easy understanding)
