HMI/SCADA Insights

What is HMI/SCADA?

HMI/SCADA refers to Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. HMI provides a user interface for operators to monitor and control industrial processes, while SCADA systems gather and process real-time data from remote locations to manage equipment and conditions. They are commonly used in industries like manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and transportation for process automation, monitoring, and control.
