PLCs or RTUs at each site handle local control and keep running even if communications fail.
SCADA, HMI and remote telemetry for pump stations, boreholes, reservoirs, tanks and silos — with alarms, trending and history across distributed sites.
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is software that collects data from PLCs, RTUs and sensors across one or many sites, shows it to operators on HMI screens, records history and raises alarms — and, where permitted, lets operators start, stop or adjust equipment remotely. It is used for pump stations, water and borehole networks, tanks and silos, plant utilities and production lines.
PLCs or RTUs at each site handle local control and keep running even if communications fail.
Fibre, radio, GSM or LoRaWAN links chosen for each site’s distance, data volume and reliability needs.
HMI screens, alarm management, trending and a historian — on-premise, in the cloud, or both.
Summaries, reports and integrations so management and maintenance systems see the same data.
SCADA traditionally focuses on operator control and alarms in a control room; IoT monitoring focuses on collecting data to the cloud for dashboards and analysis. Modern systems blend both.
Yes. Solar-powered, low-power telemetry units using GSM or LoRaWAN can report levels and pump status from remote farms and boreholes.
Only with proper design: local interlocks in the PLC, authenticated users, confirmation steps and a record of every command. Some sites should remain monitor-only.
