Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition

What is SCADA

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a system of software and hardware elements that allows industrial organizations to:

Control industrial processes locally or at remote locations
Monitor, gather, and process real-time data
Directly interact with devices such as sensors, valves, pumps, motors, and more through human-machine interface (HMI) software
Record events, Alarms and more.

Modern Design (The CanDoIt Way)

CanDoIt's Engineers utilise ISA101 - High Performance HMI Standards to deliver responsive, standards-driven, and scalable SCADA systems that unify people, processes, and assets across all facilities for continuous operational improvement and real-time decision support.

At CanDoIt, our engineers are SCADA experts with years of experience in providing custom-built solutions. From design, development, testing and on-going support, everything is done in-house so we can give you an efficient system in a timely manner.

Supervisory Control

Centralising monitoring and control is one of the fastest ways to help your digitalisation journey. The ability to know what your equipment or process is doing in real-time and being able to respond from your control room is an obvious advantage, but what about from anywhere. Modern SCADA allows your subject matter experts to help no matter the location. Not only can you do all this but it servers as a great foundation for you enterprise data strategy.

CanDoIt is built from creating SCADA UI's that many others overlook. Visually distracting is not what we do, simple effective screens that are responsive and mobile friendly is the only way we know how.

Historical Data

Data storage may be cheap, however it isn't about how much data you capture, instead how that data can be conceptualised for assist process control. CanDoIt is a strong believer in closed loop processes and an optimized data historian pin pointing KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is a major point in achieving this.

Reporting

Transforming rudimentary paper reports into powerful digital reports manipulated by SQL enable CanDoIt to dynamically sift through the ocean of data to deliver vital information where needed. This tailored approach ensures clients are provided correct data when requested and in which ever format desired.

Enterprise Unity

Bring Plant-Level SCADA to the entire enterprise via dashboards that display critical information organisation wide. Compare operational performance across the organization and tie data from all facilities into enterprise level software systems like ERP.

Ignition SCADA

While we have experience and use many platforms, we love using Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation. Our team has some of the most advanced and experienced Ignition Engineers in Australia and are always up for a challenge or to help out when needed.

Ignition is a powerful integrated development environment with everything you need to create virtually any kind of industrial application – SCADA, IIoT, MES and beyond – all on one platform.

CanDoIt Solutions has Gold Certification from V7.7 - V8.1 meaning when it comes to Ignition SCADA we've got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SCADA just for factories?

No. SCADA is used throughout many industries, mainly;

Electric power generation, transmission and distribution
Water, wastewater and sewage
Buildings, facilities and environments
Manufacturing
Mass transit
Traffic signals
Oil and Gas
Food and Beverage Production

What are the limits of SCADA?

Traditional off the shelf platforms have plenty.

However CanDoIt's custom built industrial systems can navigate around these limitations providing customers tailored solutions to many diverse projects.

How do we replace existing systems?

CanDoIt approaches SCADA replacements by first requesting a user scope, understanding the current systems capabilities and gathering as much information as possible i.e;

Screen information (I/O points, Alarms)
Alarm notification
Reports
Security
Trending

With this information, CanDoIt can identify the best methods to provide the perfect solution and provde a proposal/project estimate to fit the customers URS (user requirement specification).

Is it hard to get started?

Not at all. We can help with a project scope, defining a URS, the hardest point is deciding when to push go. So what are you waiting for, contact projects@candoitsolutions.com.au.
