Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition 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 work station.
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 work station 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 that allows RTUs to act upon data
- Identify and respond to alarm conditions before they become critical
- Preventative maintenance by utilizing reports generated from collected data
- Reduced power costs
We are 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.
