Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
The task of supervision of machinery and industrial processes on a routine basis can be an painfully a tedious work. Always being by the side a machine or being on a 24x7 patrol duty around the assembly line equipment checking the temperature levels, water levels, oil level and performing other checks would be considered a wastage of the expertise of the technician on insignificant tasks. To get free of this troublesome task, the engineers developed equipments and sensors that would prevent or reduce the regularity of this routine check, thus, control systems like SCADA systems were shaped. SCADA offers the simplicity of monitoring of sensors placed at distances, from one central location.
