SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is an industrial automation solution used to monitor and supervise equipment, processes and operations through a centralized interface.
It helps operators monitor equipment status, view process information and identify abnormal operating conditions. Depending on the configuration, SCADA systems can support alarms, data logging, historical trends and supervisory control.
SCADA solutions are used in manufacturing, process industries, utilities and other industrial applications where centralized monitoring and operational visibility are important.
