In the world in which we live today, Scada Control Systems are found at the core of every convenience we experience daily, and have come to take for granted.
SCADA (an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a computer system used to monitor and control equipment found in the majority of industries that contribute to our overall living comfort.
It is used to determine how electricity is transmitted into our homes; how water is distributed into our pipelines; how traffic lights are controlled at the intersections on the streets on which we drive; how buses and trains operate their schedules in providing us with mass public transportation; and how quality control is achieved in the manufacture of the variety of products we use on a daily basis.
Basically, the systems are used to automate industrial processes that are complex, and in which human control is not a practical option.
