SCADA

What is SCADA?

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems provide real-time monitoring, control, and data collection for critical industrial operations. By integrating field devices, PLCs, secure communications, and intuitive HMIs, SCADA enables operators to remotely manage equipment, visualize performance, respond to alarms, and make informed decisions—improving safety, reliability, and operational efficiency across complex and distributed assets.

Production Monitoring & Control SCADA tracks pressures, flow rates, and temperatures while remotely controlling pumps, chokes, and valves to optimize production and reduce downtime.
SCADA monitors tank levels, valve positions, and meter data, providing alarms for high levels or leaks and enabling automated custody transfer reporting.
Pipeline & Injection System Management SCADA supervises pipeline pressures, flow balance, and injection rates, detecting leaks, controlling pumps, and ensuring safe, compliant operation across long distances.

SCADA & Communication

Fiber-Connected SCADA Systems Fiber networks provide high-speed, low-latency communication between PLCs, RTUs, and control rooms, enabling real-time control, high data throughput, and secure centralized monitoring.
Radio-Based SCADA Networks Licensed or unlicensed radio systems allow SCADA data to be transmitted reliably across remote sites where fiber is unavailable, supporting remote facilities over long distances.
Starlink-Enabled SCADA Communications Starlink delivers satellite-based broadband for SCADA systems in remote locations, enabling secure data transmission, remote access, and real-time monitoring where terrestrial networks are impractical.

Which system is right for my application?

Modern SCADA systems are designed with a layered communications architecture to deliver maximum reliability, flexibility, and scalability.

High-speed fiber networks serve as the backbone, interconnecting multiple sites and central facilities with secure, low-latency data transmission. Licensed or industrial-grade radio systems extend connectivity to remote locations, seamlessly integrating those sites into the fiber network where direct connections are impractical.

For the most isolated assets, Starlink and satellite-based services provide resilient internet access for secure remote monitoring, diagnostics, and support—ensuring continuous visibility, operational control, and system performance across the entire SCADA network.
