SCADA
A supervisory control and data acquisition system used in industrial automation and infrastructure management. It performs data collection, monitoring, and remote control of distributed equipment, and is widely deployed in critical infrastructure sectors such as power, water, and oil pipelines.
Timeline (last 90 days)
McGreevy believes that in the near term agentic AI will follow the development path of industrial technologies such as SCADA systems, with AI mainly in advisory mode for the foreseeable future and full autonomy limited to narrow, highly repetitive tasks.
PLC is responsible for executing deterministic instructions such as logic control and sequence control, directly driving machines and equipment; SCADA collects field data at the host-computer level, provides a human-machine interface and manages alarms.
Over the past decades, automation investment in manufacturing has mainly focused on two directions: control-layer automation represented by PLC and SCADA, and information-layer integration represented by MES and ERP.
In industrial scenarios, AIoT usually needs to be integrated with existing systems such as MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and SCADA (data acquisition and monitoring system) to form a closed loop from sensing to action.
OT (operational technology) refers to systems that directly control physical processes, such as PLCs, SCADA, and industrial control systems, and such systems were designed with priority on reliability and real-time performance rather than security.
MES is oriented toward the workshop level, managing work orders, processes, quality traceability, and equipment status; ERP is oriented toward the business level, handling procurement, inventory, orders, and finance; industrial control systems (such as PLC, SCADA, DCS) directly control equipment actions and process parameters.
In traditional SCADA systems, more than 80% of alarms are duplicates or low priority, and adding AI models often further exacerbates false alarms.
Industrial communication protocols (such as Modbus, OPC UA, Profinet, etc.) originate from the automation field, emphasize determinism, real-time performance and device interoperability, and are commonly used in control systems such as PLC and SCADA.
IT（信息技术）指企业用于数据处理、通信和办公的系统，如服务器、数据库、收银终端；OT（运营技术）指直接监控和操控物理设备的硬件与软件，例如PLC、SCADA以及制冷机组的温控模块。
Manufacturing enterprise information systems have a layered architecture: the bottom layer consists of OT systems such as PLCs and SCADA, the middle layer is MES, the top layer is ERP, and PLM operates independently spanning the design and engineering domains.
