Background

We have been listening, talking, seeing about SCADA system in any Engineering, Manufacturing, Process industry. You might have come across a computer SCREEN showing, displaying some process parameters in such industries.  You might have heard “we have SCADA system and our process is controlled through SCADA”.  

So, Why and What is SCADA?

Every process needs 4 M i.e. Material, Man, Machine and Method. When all put together to get Output, we need to have a stringent control. There are many parameters which is contributing this Output, all these parameters need to be precisely controlled.   As such, we need to have a system and SCADA serves our purpose very well.

SCADA is a Quality tool which helps to program all process parameters and store it as a “Recipe”. We can have a Number of Recipes programed and stored for easy retrieval. We have to just select the respective recipe and run the process, which controls all output impacting parameters very rigidly. So also, it is capturing all live data of “Actuals Process” and display it in graphical form or excel sheet.

So, it is very much imperative to know about SCADA system principle, it’s Requirement, Types, Functioning, Areas in which it can be used.

At the same time, we are going to learn about its Proactive use, some examples, Benefits of SCADA, how it helps to reduce Rework and Rejection and Improves Quality of a process, Machine, Furnace, Assembly line, and in turn, improve overall Quality standard of an organization.

Lastly, we will see Limitations of SCADA system. We are also going to its importance from CQI standard perspective.

Key Takeaways

• Working of SCADA.
• Its vast usage, Corelation with output.
• Why it is a Proactive Tool.
• Roll of SCADA in organization.
