SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are automated tools that monitor and control large-scale industrial processes, such as electricity grids, water treatment, and manufacturing plants. They gather data from sensors and equipment, allowing operators to oversee operations remotely. SCADA systems provide real-time information, enable remote control of machines, and help detect problems early, improving efficiency and safety. Essentially, they act as the nervous system of complex industrial environments, facilitating coordinated management and quick response to changing conditions without the need for constant manual oversight.
