SCADA Market Overview

SCADA, which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a system used in various industries to monitor and control processes both locally and remotely. It consists of hardware and software components that collaborate to collect real-time data from sensors and devices in industrial settings such as manufacturing plants, power stations, and water treatment facilities. SCADA systems allow operators to observe and process data, operate machinery, and make decisions based on the information gathered. They provide a solidified interface for monitoring equipment status, identifying defects or abnormalities, and performing control actions to improve process performance and safety. SCADA systems frequently interface with other industrial automation systems, such as PLCs and DCS, to provide full control solutions for complicated industrial processes. In essence, SCADA serves an important role in improving operational efficiency, avoiding downtime, and ensuring the integrity of key infrastructure across multiple
