What is SCADA?

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system used in industrial automation to monitor and control processes in real-time. It plays a crucial role in industries like power plants, oil & gas, water treatment, and manufacturing.

SCADA systems collect data from sensors, PLCs, and field instruments, then display it on a centralized interface (HMI) for operators to monitor and control operations efficiently.

Key Functions of SCADA

• Real-time data monitoring
• Remote control of equipment
• Alarm and event handling
• Data logging and reporting
