Online SCADA Systems

 

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ) technologies have only matured in recent years. The legacy systems of a majority of users have wide ranging ad hoc SCADA equipment and networks varying in terms of their feature-set, connectivity, age and available vendor support. There are many potential undesirable outcomes from such a configuration. The show-stopper of those consequences would be compromising critical infrastructure – whether by ommission or poor-planning – which could further expose the SCADA system to security breaches and exploitation. The implications of a such a critical systems failure or breach are serious endangerment of public health and safety on a large scale.

Ultimately the reliability and security of online SCADA systems should be an overarching concern for public infrastructure management. Acknowledging this, and the lack of suitable, cost-effective SCADA products in the market, Clearly Secure’s systems engineers set about imagining and developing a solution unlike any other.

The above Services Manager screen shot demonstrates the remaining battery time in hours for the device ‘gas meter 1-3′ at ‘Location 2′. Timely device alerts and instant access to reports from Services Manager enables a holistic building management strategy to be effectively administered.

A vertical panel down the left of the Services Manager screen conveniently displays a list of the integrated resources, grouped together by their physical location, providing optional viewing of the recorded data for each. One particular application of an integrated building control and security system, using Services Manager as in the above examples, allows accurate real-time energy reporting for each individual dwelling situated within a larger apartment complex. This detailed information is ideal in adminstering building management and control for a governing body corporate responsible for many occupants. It may even be useful for residents to access their own energy usage statistics from a central information kiosk within the building in terms of wider environmental management and resource conservation.
