Five ways SCADA systems can benefit sustainability
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,” goes the old quote from The Wizard of Oz, about the powers controlling things behind the scenes. SCADA systems are primarily used in industrial settings like manufacturing plants, utilities and infrastructure management where their role in monitoring and controlling processes isn't immediately apparent to the public eye.
The systems are less obvious compared to more customer-facing sustainability initiatives like renewable energy projects or eco-friendly products. For these reasons, SCADA systems are frequently overlooked in discussions about green technologies. But, despite their lack of visibility, these systems will prove critical for ensuring operational efficiency, reducing resource consumption, and enhancing overall sustainability in various sectors. Here are five reasons why.
The goal of European Union (EU) countries to achieve zero emissions by 2050 will depend on green technologies. To this end, SCADA systems are crucial, yet frequently overlooked in sustainability efforts. Here, Sylvana van de Scheur, product designer at Ovarro, the specialist in remote telemetry syst...
