Many industries can benefit from the use of a SCADA system. From water and wastewater plants, to oil and gas utilities, SCADA can manage, control, and analyze critical data, allowing users to reduce risks and improve vital business processes.
But a system is only as good as its application. That�s why you want to ensure that you�re really enjoying the full benefits of SCADA. Evaluating complex systems can be tricky � especially if it�s outside the scope of your job. You�ve got to be able to make an informed decision, because there can be a lot at stake. Here are some things to look for when choosing a SCADA system.
Know that a SCADA system is a major investment in technology that your company will depend on for as long as 15 years. As a decision maker, you�re laying your reputation on the line when you choose a SCADA system for your company because you are making a major commitment for your company. While there are a lot of good SCADA systems out there, there are a few that fail in implementation and execution. Here are a few consequences of investing in the wrong solution:
- You can spend a small fortune on unnecessary features.
- Even after you exhaust your budget, you can still end up with a system that doesn�t comprehensively meet your needs.
- Or just as bad, you can end up with an inflexible system that just meets your needs today, but becomes obsolete as you grow.
