SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is a system of hardware and software components used to monitor and control industrial processes, infrastructure, and facilities in real-time. SCADA systems collect data from sensors, meters, and other devices located in the field and present it to operators through graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Operators can remotely monitor process variables, view operational status, and make control decisions from a central control room. SCADA systems facilitate automation, optimization, and fault detection in various industries such as manufacturing, energy, water treatment, transportation, and telecommunications. They play a critical role in enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and improving reliability in complex industrial environments.
