What is SCADA?
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system for high-level monitoring and control of technical processes, collecting data from distributed field devices and enabling operators to control processes remotely across multiple sites.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Technical Definition: A system for high-level monitoring and control of technical processes. SCADA collects data from distributed field devices (PLCs, RTUs, sensors), provides a real-time operational overview and enables remote control. SCADA is characterised by wide geographic scope – often spanning multiple buildings or industrial sites.
The future of SCADA: Modern SCADA is evolving towards cloud-based, software-defined architectures with open APIs, moving away from proprietary client-server models locked to specific vendors.
Why it matters: SCADA gives you control over your entire estate from a central point. For facility portfolios or campus environments, SCADA makes it operationally feasible to manage hundreds of systems simultaneously.
HubMind’s view: We design SCADA solutions that are scalable, maintainable and integratable with modern analytics tools – built on open standards rather than proprietary platforms.
