== What is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)? ==

'''Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)''' is a type of industrial control system that is used to monitor and control industrial processes remotely. SCADA systems are used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, utilities, and transportation, to manage processes such as power generation, water treatment, and oil and gas production.

SCADA systems typically include a central computer or server that is used to collect data from a network of sensors and control devices that are located throughout the facility. The system uses this data to monitor the status of the industrial process and to issue control commands as needed.

SCADA systems are designed to be highly reliable and to operate continuously, even in harsh industrial environments. They are often used to control critical systems that require precise monitoring and control in order to maintain safety and efficiency.
