WHAT IS AUTOMATION AND SCADA?

Automation and SCADA are not always easy to understand. SCADA is a set of systems that automate systems in power-related industries. That may then lead to the question, “What is automation?” In its simplest form, automation supervises the control of power systems and automatically acquires data relating to their use. SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is a centralized system that controls and monitors sites in their entirety.

AT TELSTAR, WE BELIEVE THAT SCADA’S DEFINITION HINGES ON HOW SIMPLE IT MAKES OUR CUSTOMERS’ DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS. THE SYSTEM ACHIEVES SIMPLIFIED OPERATIONS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

It feeds the centralized data back to a human interface. By directing the data to humans quickly, it makes it easier for those at the management level to direct repairs.
With remote terminal units, those who manage power systems are less likely to miss expensive mistakes in various locations.

Using the supervisory system, it’s easier to identify weaknesses, address them promptly, and prevent unnecessary costs.
While producing the highest level of data, site, and human monitoring, SCADA ensures all resources are allocated adequately and used appropriately.

WHY IS AUTOMATION AND SCADA NECESSARY?

For many, it isn’t difficult to understand why we need SCADA systems. Here are some of the reasons why the team at Telstar believes it’s necessary:

It feeds the centralized data back to a human interface. By directing the data to humans quickly, it makes it easier for those at the management level to direct repairs.
With remote terminal units, those who manage power systems are less likely to miss expensive mistakes in various locations.

Using some examples of the way the technology operates, it’s easier to appraise why we need SCADA systems.

ARE SCADA SYSTEMS IMPORTANT?

NO MATTER YOUR INDUSTRY, YOU KNOW THAT MONITORING PROCESSES THROUGHOUT YOUR BUSINESS’S BRANCHES IS CENTRAL TO YOUR SUCCESS:

With monitoring, you’re able to spot small mistakes that can snowball into large costs. You also identify whether you’re allocating resources appropriately, and therefore maximizing your profits.
In addition to ensuring you can reinvest profits adequately, this gives you the chance to purchase new technologies that enhance your day-to-day workings further.
SCADA systems are important as they allow you to monitor all resources and activities using one central system

At Telstar, we understand that HMI, PLC, and SCADA rest at the heart of our clients’ data processes, especially when they work in waste and water. When problems arise at remote sites, the SCADA system flags them automatically. With this automation, you can control machine responses centrally, reducing the need to send others to do the job. While SCADA allows you to retain human interfaces, your central branch can execute greater control over what happens there. With fewer mistakes, you automatically spend less money that could have otherwise been wasted.

While other automation systems are available, none will match SCADA in terms of functionality. Critical incidents are brought to your attention, immediately. Plotting data onto graphs happens rapidly, allowing you to expedite reports in time-sensitive situations. With the ability to calculate formulas using the expertise of the Telstar engineers, automation happens at the click of your fingers.
