What is SCADA?
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software empowers you to conduct real-time visual monitoring of your plant’s automated processes. This user-friendly system displays a graphical representation of machine operations, allowing easy observation of a wide of range of variables – for example, which valves are open, what the temperature is, and which motors or conveyors are running. A well-designed SCADA interface will also alert you clearly to events such as malfunctions, enabling efficient diagnosis and rectification of problems.
Our SCADA Services
What We Do We create SCADA automation solutions that you can use with confidence on the plant floor. The engineers at Mescon are fully equipped to interface SCADA systems to PLCs and RTUs, as well as to a wide range of specialised equipment spanning industry-specific hardware, management software, databases and even the ‘cloud’. Optimised Solutions We’ll consult with you in depth to make sure you’re getting the most from your SCADA systems. Inexperienced programmers often push these beyond their functional limits, which reduces their overall performance. While some SCADA systems have capacity for long-term data storage, this can generally be achieved more effectively and efficiently through purpose-built systems such as MES. SCADA Product Knowledge We’re experienced in working with SCADA products from Schneider (EcoStruxure, CitectSCADA aka Vijeo, Wonderware, Geo SCADA – formerly Clear SCADA), Inductive Automation (Ignition), Rockwell (FactoryTalk View, PanelView, SE & ME), Red Lion, Cermate, Delta, and Omron (NB Series, NJ Series).
