SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is a system used to monitor and control industrial processes, such as in manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment. SCADA collects real-time data from sensors and devices in the field, allowing operators to observe operations, manage equipment, and respond to issues remotely. By providing a centralized platform for analysis and control, SCADA enhances efficiency, safety, and reliability, enabling better decision-making and improving overall system performance. It's essential for modern infrastructure and utilities, ensuring that critical processes run smoothly and effectively.
