Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Design
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Design is a process by which real-time information is gathered from remote locations for processing, analysis and control. This consists of a Human Machine Interface (HMI) software package that allows the process to be viewed, monitored and controlled from a workstation.
Problems
- No Historical Data Collection or analysis
- Costly Monitoring and Control of Remote Sites
- Environmental incidents
- Unmanageable Power Costs
Solutions
- SCADA System that Allows Monitoring and Control
- PC Workstation with HMI Software
- RTUs for Data Acquisition and Control
- Communication Medium (radio, telephone, cable, satellite)
Benefits
Reduce staffing and labor costs by eliminating false alarms and call-ins
- 24-hour watch over process
- Supervisory control and optimization of any type of production
- Monitoring and control of remote locations
- Peer-to-Peer communication which allows RTUs to act upon data
- Identify and respond to alarm conditions before they become critical
- Preventive maintenance by utilizing reports generated from collected data
- Reduced power costs
Gannett Fleming is widely recognized for the design of SCADA systems. We have process engineers that work closely with our SCADA designers to design a system that best fits your needs.
