SCADA enables companies to make smarter decisions, improve efficiency, and minimize downtime. But what exactly is SCADA and how can you get started? 

What is a SCADA? 

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and it’s a combination of hardware and software that leverages real-time data to enable visualization and control for:

  • Industrial processes such as manufacturing or refining
  • Infrastructure processes such as water treatment, oil and gas pipelines, or wind farms
  • Facility processes such as building automation or energy consumption monitoring.

SCADA enables key stakeholders to make data-driven decisions.
