SCADA system – what is it?
A SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is an advanced IT system used to supervise and control production processes.
It is a fundamental element of industrial automation that enables monitoring production processes through:
- collecting data from machines and devices,
- visualizing data,
- analyzing the collected information,
- remotely controlling machines.
In practice, SCADA software is the foundation of modern automation. It increases efficiency, optimizes processes and improves safety in production plants.
Main functions of the SCADA systems in production
The SCADA system performs a number of key functions that ensure effective operations management.
| Data collection – SCADA software | integrates with sensors, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and other process devices to collect data in real time. |
| Visualization of production processes | collected data is clearly presented on intuitive dashboards, often using interactive charts, tables, and animations. This makes it easier for operators to continuously monitor process status and make quick decisions. |
| Remote control of machines | thanks to this, the SCADA system allows dynamic optimization of machine operation and flexible response to changing production or operational conditions. |
| SCADA alarming | in case of deviations from the norm or failures, SCADA immediately generates notifications, minimizing downtime. |
| Data archiving | SCADA collects historical data, creating extensive operational archives. This data is invaluable for later process analysis, identifying long-term trends, troubleshooting and supporting strategic decisions. |

Where are SCADA software used?
SCADA systems are used in many industrial sectors as an essential tool for monitoring and controlling production.
SCADA in the energy sector
SCADA system in the energy sector is used to monitor and control complex power networks, power plants (both conventional and renewable), transmission and distribution networks.
SCADA software in the chemical industry
SCADA in the chemical and refinery industry is used to control production processes in refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants, where precision and safety are priorities.
SCADA system in the food industry
SCADA system in the food industry is used to supervise automated production lines, processing, packaging and logistics of food, ensuring the highest quality and hygiene.
SCADA in the water and wastewater sector
SCADA software in the water and wastewater sector enables monitoring and control of drinking water treatment and distribution systems, sewer networks and wastewater treatment plants, which is particularly important from the public health perspective.
SCADA in transport
SCADA in transport provides significant support for signaling and traffic management systems.
SCADA in building automation (BMS)
SCADA in building automation (BMS) – integration is possible with advanced building management systems such as HVAC (responsible for temperature, humidity and air quality), as well as with lighting control and security systems.
Benefits of implementing SCADA software in your company
Greater safety of industrial processes thanks to rapid alarming and immediate response to irregularities.
Faster response time, e.g. by automatic alarming and sending e-mail or SMS notifications.
Lower operating costs thanks to optimized energy and material consumption as well as more efficient use of resources.
Higher production efficiency through process optimization and reduced downtime.
Better product quality as a result of more effective and continuous control of production process parameters.
Full insight into production processes – access to comprehensive real time data and the ability to analyze trends help managers make strategic decisions and optimally manage entire operations.
4 reasons to trust explitia’s experts
Why is it worth implementing a SCADA system with the explitia team? Here are the 4 most important reasons!
We know production technologies
Our employees have expertise in integrating with automation and industrial IT systems.
We have many years of experience
We have implemented SCADA systems for Polish and foreign production plants, including in the automotive, food, chemical and home appliances sectors. The SCADA systems we have implemented control entire factories of major, well‑known brands, which allowed us to develop good and effective standards for visualizing actuators.
We care about safety
We pay special attention to network security. We support our clients in providing guidelines related to building a secure network infrastructure based on individual communication channels with control systems. This approach to industrial digitalization has earned us the TISAX certificate.
We advise the best solution for the client
We want the implemented solution to support the client’s real needs and address the challenges they face. That is why we implement not only our own software, which we continuously develop, but also systems from global SCADA providers. We also design and implement solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
