Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are essential for managing, monitoring, and analyzing industrial devices and processes.
SCADA systems collect data from sensors and network devices connected to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). They monitor critical parameters, including speed, temperature, weight, flow rate, gas emissions, and pressure. This raw data is transmitted to a PLC for processing and subsequently sent to a Human-Machine Interface (HMI), where operators can analyze the information and make informed decisions.
You could be looking at anywhere from 10,000 to 90,000 euro for a small to medium-sized system.
