SCADA system for controlling, managing and analyzing real-time data

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system that helps control, monitor, and collect data from the production process in a factory in real time.
It allows users to see an overview of the operation of various machines and equipment from the control center or even remotely via the Web or Mobile.

SCADA connects data from various devices and sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level or machine operation, and sends control commands back to the system, such as opening/closing valves or adjusting automatic operation according to specified conditions.

Key components of a SCADA system :

• HMI (Human-Machine Interface): A screen for users to view information and control the system.
• PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): The main control unit that commands the devices in the system.
• RTU (Remote Terminal Unit): A unit that collects data from sensors and sends it to the central system.
• Database / Server: Used to store historical data and support analysis.

SCADA improves plant management with its ability to alert on unusual events, analyze trends, and reduce staff workload.

Covering all dimensions of factory management with SCADA

SCADA does not only display information, but can also be used to manage the heart of the factory, covering 4 main areas :

🔧 OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

Displays overall machine performance such as machine running time, production speed, and standard pass rate, enabling immediate analysis and improvement of production processes, reducing waste and increasing profits.

🛠 Maintenance

Monitor machinery conditions in real time and analyze wear and tear trends to plan predictive maintenance, reduce downtime and emergency costs.

‍

⚡ Saving Energy

Analyze energy usage in each zone or each machine to identify areas where energy costs can be reduced and improve system efficiency.

🌱 Decarbonization

Track carbon emissions from various processes and display them as analytical data for strategic planning to reduce carbon and support ESG or Net Zero goals.

SCADA and GENESIS64 are the keys to transforming a factory into a Smart Factory that is real-time controllable, has readily available data, and fully meets the goals of efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
