Under any environment
Smart operation is available
SCADA
The key to the smart factory is facilitating the flow of every information through the connection between the field device and the toplevel system.
As the amount of applicable equipment increases and becomes more complex under these environment, the role of SCADA is important to implement effective control and monitoring.
SCADA has ability to monitor and control the worksite through the integration of entire data generated during the production process, so that provide efficient worksite management as well as smart factory operation system.
SCADA, data integration platform which connects OT and IT!
SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is an integrated system which can collect on various devices, equipment, and facilities existing in industrial sites and implement central monitoring and control. By the linkage of whole equipment applied in worksites, Users are allowed to access remotely to the worksite system for monitoring and controlling to manage the entire system. In addition, it also able to implement detailed management and operation of production process units, enabling smart field operations under any environment.

SCADA at a glance
before SCADA’s application
Before applying SCADA, Users have to visit the site directly for checking the equipment condition and product abnormalities.
after SCADA’s application
Under the environments of applying SCADA, Users can collect and control data such as various on-site equipment conditions and abnormalities in worksite, filed operation information in real-time without visiting worksite directly.
Benefits of SCADA
SCADA is an integrated data platform. SCADA can collect lots of data across the network from every of equipment in the worksite scattered in one or multiple locations by using network. These data collected by SCADA can achieve an optimal work environment by providing connectivity to various production worksite control components as well as high-level systems such as cloud, MES, and ERP through OPC UA, MQTT(Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol and Database.
SCADA can provide data visualization. The data collected from machines and equipment in the worksite can be viewed in real time, including the status of each facility and various information charts through a dashboard, which is able to be set up by the user. The data can also be created similar to the actual sites through various libraries such as images, diagrams, animations, etc., so that this can provide efficient information delivery as well as high readability. In addition, SCADA can easily access the necessary information so that it can acquire the proper information rapidly.
SCADA can check data history. Formerly, we have to check the condition of the facility directly and record it by handwriting. However, if you use SCADA, the data from machines and equipment throughout overall operation process is automatically collected, recorded and stored simultaneously so that this enables to check data history as well as analyze the data such as problem forecasting and operational performance.
SCADA can be controlled remotely. SCADA provides real-time monitoring and control of the entire plant, as well as controling the process units within the production worksite which are difficult to access from the collected data. This allows to check real-time status and do immediate action on equipment and processes occurring in one or multiple locations.
SCADA provides efficiency and convenience in operation. The data collected through SCADA allows operators to be aware of the situation in the worksite at a glance, so that it allows them to make decision rapidly and precisely. SCADA can also improve profitability so as well as production and quality that can secure increasing operation efficiency increase and ensuring manufacturing transparency.
SCADA, Application
SCADA can be applied across a wide range of areas from small-scale production lines to large-scale supervisor control such as factories and buildings. The application field is wide under various environments such as electricity, water resources, buildings, petrochemicals, smart farms and manufacturing industries.
