SCADA and IoT: evolution toward integrated and cloud-ready solutions
Machine monitoring, data collection from PLC and historization on industrial PC: solid basis for reporting, tracking and teleservice. Integration with IoT technologies to collect and verify data in a faster, more integrated and secure way.
The term SCADA software (from English “Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition”) refers to the software system that monitors the automated machine.
We program various SCADA control software for the machines we operate on and place microcontrollers in PLCs(Programmable Logic Controllers) suitable for measuring and storing values in a local memory.
We prepare a telecommunication system between the microcontrollers and the industrial PC that acts as a supervisor. The supervisor collects data from the microcontrollers, processes it, and stores it on disk. The amount of data collected is used to summarize useful information to control production flows and possible problems.
SCADA software, designed for simple and complex applications from numerous industries, is intuitive in use, graphically pleasing and functional. They are available in all languages with professional translation by native-speaking engineers.
Compared with HMI systems, they can process more data, by means of which additional modules can be developed at the customer’s request:
- Statistical production reports
- Product traceability
- Remote monitoring via teleservice
- Recipes
In accordance with the new Industry 4.0 regulations, SCADA progamms are of central importance for the collection and distribution of data to the monitoring systems of u industrial plant.
Examples of projects with application of SCADA software
SCADA development in Industrial Automation allows us to control all industrial process information (alarm management and maintenance) on a single platform in order to better manage automation and events that may occur.
You can see a SCADA application on this plant: Tubular aluminum cable stringing machine where solutions for remote control, on-board data collection for monitoring, and remote assistance have been implemented.
The evolution of SCADA software is leading us to investigate integrated solutions with cloud applications by integrating with the Internet of Things (IoT). By integrating SCADA software and IoT technologies, enterprise data can be collected and verified in a fast, integrated and more secure manner.
